Abstract

System and method for administration of remote user activities interacting with critical data are used to detect violations of user activities, generate hints in response to each violation or a group of violations, that includes video-based violations, audio-based violation, and display-control-based violations, and to display hints to the administrator in a prioritized manner helping the administrator to react to most critical violations in a proper way. The invention solves a problem of simultaneous monitoring of multiple user interactions with critical data by ranking each violation, each session of interaction and each user.

Dependent claims

A data processing and communication system for administration of remote user activities interacting with critical data, the system comprising:

a. monitoring code, installed on a user computer and configured to capture video data from a camera connected to the user computer in response to an access request to the critical data, audio data from a microphone connected to the user computer and desktop activity events on the user computer;
b. administration code, installed on an administration server and configured to set up rules of user interactions with critical data on the user computer and provide users with access to the critical data on the user computer;
c. control code, installed on the administration server and configured to analyze user activity based on captured data and ranking user activity sessions by detected violations in accordance with rules of user interactions with the critical data on the user computer, wherein the rules of user interaction include violation weights determined for each type of violation, the control code comprising:
i. face recognition code configured to identify a user and to detect violations in user activity based on the captured video data, including authenticating the user based on a user photo image, wherein the user photo image is compared to a face recognized from the captured video;
ii. authorization code configured to authorize access to the critical data on the user computer if the authentication is successful;
iii. voice control code configured to detect violations in user activity based on the captured audio data;
and
iv. desktop control code configured to detect violations in user activity based on the captured desktop activity events, wherein the captured desktop activity events are events on the user computer and include at least one of connecting hardware, running software, switching between active windows of running applications, copying data, screenshot, capturing graphics card image, transferring data over the network, connecting an additional screen, opening a remote desktop session, or changing operating system configurations;
and
v. hardware-in-the-frame control code configured to detect violations of prohibited hardware device usage based on the captured video data;
and
d. display control code, installed on the administration server and configured to generate one or more hints in the form of web-application objects and to prioritize a view of the hints in accordance with user activity session ranks, including according to the type of violation in the user activity session,
wherein the video data from the camera, the audio data from the microphone and the desktop activity events are captured in a synchronized manner, wherein each violation detected based on the video data, the audio data, or the desktop activity events is complemented with video, audio, and desktop activity events captured throughout a time period of the detected violation based on the synchronized manner.

A method for administration of remote user activities interacting with critical data on the user computer, the method comprising:

a. capturing video data from a camera connected to a user computer, audio data from a microphone connected to the user computer and desktop activity events on the user computer in response to an access request to the critical data using monitoring code installed on the user computer, wherein the desktop activity events are events on the user computer and include at least one of connecting hardware, running software, switching between active windows of running applications, copying data, screenshot, capturing a graphics card image, transferring data over a network, connecting an additional screen, opening a remote desktop session, or changing operating system configurations;
b. authenticating the user based on a user photo image and a user voice sample at administration code, wherein the user photoimage is compared to a face recognized from the captured video data and the user voice sample is compared to a voice recognized from the captured audio data;
c. authorizing access to the critical data on the user computer if the authentication is successful;
d. detecting violations of user activities in accordance with rules of user interactions with the critical data pre-configured at an administration server, wherein the rules of user interaction include violation weights determined for each type of violation, further comprising:
i. detecting violations in user activity based on the captured video data with face recognition code;
ii. detecting violations in user activity based on the captured audio data with voice control code;
and
iii. detecting violations in user activity based on the captured desktop activity events with desktop control code;
and
iv. detecting violations of prohibited hardware device usage based on the captured video data with hardware-in-the-frame control code;
and
e. ranking user activity sessions by detected violations in accordance with the rules of user interactions with the critical data;
f. generating hints in response to detected violation in the form of web-application objects;
and
g. displaying hints in prioritized manner, wherein a view of the hint is prioritized in accordance with user activity session ranks, including according to the type of violation in the user activity session,
wherein the video data from the camera, the audio data from the microphone and the desktop activity events are captured in a synchronized manner, wherein each violation detected based on the video data, the audio data, or the desktop activity events is complemented with video, audio, and desktop activity events captured throughout a time period of the detected violation based on the synchronized manner.
