Abstract
According to aspects of this disclosure, information handling systems may be used to manage and control access to confidential or sensitive information, such as employer-owned information that may be accessed by a user via one or more devices of the user. Embodiments of this disclosure may be used to implement a content-based information protection scheme that provides secure access control to information managed by an information handling system using sensor-based inferences of a user's environment and behavior within the environment. For example, the user may request remote access to a document including sensitive information via a user interface of a first device operated by the user within an environment (e.g., an airport, coffee shop, or other public place).
Claims18
A method comprising:
- receiving, by an information handling system, data from one or more sensors of a first device operated by a user within an environment;
- determining a behavior pattern of the user based on the data that identifies the environment;
- determining a behavior policy based on the behavior pattern, wherein the behavior policy controls access to information corresponding to at least one or more content areas of a document requested by the user while in the environment;
- and
- providing, via a user interface of the first device and based on the behavior policy, a secure view of the document with content displayed for the information corresponding to the at least one or more content areas of the document,
- wherein the behavior pattern of the user complies with the behavior policy associated with a first content area of the at least one or more content areas of the document, wherein the behavior pattern of the user does not comply with the behavior policy associated with a second content area of the at least one of more content areas of the document,
- wherein the content displayed for the first content area includes all corresponding information, and wherein the content displayed for the second content area obscures at least a portion of the corresponding information.
4 more elements
An information handling system, comprising:
- a memory;
- a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to perform steps comprising:
- receiving, by an information handling system, data from one or more sensors of a first device operated by a user within an environment;
- determining a behavior pattern of the user based on the data that identifies the environment;
- determining a behavior policy based on the behavior pattern, wherein the behavior policy controls access to information corresponding to at least one or more content areas of a document requested by the user while in the environment;
- and
- providing, via a user interface of the first device and based on the behavior policy, a secure view of the document with content displayed for the information corresponding to the at least one or more content areas of the document,
- wherein the behavior pattern of the user complies with the behavior policy associated with a first content area of the at least one or more content areas of the document, wherein the behavior pattern of the user does not comply with the behavior policy associated with a second content area of the at least one of more content areas of the document,
- wherein the content displayed for the first content area includes all corresponding information, and wherein the content displayed for the second content area obscures at least a portion of the corresponding information.
6 more elements
A computer program product, comprising:
- a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising code for performing steps comprising:
- receiving, by an information handling system, data from one or more sensors of a first device operated by a user within an environment;
- determining a behavior pattern of the user based on the data that identifies the environment;
- determining a behavior policy based on the behavior pattern, wherein the behavior policy controls access to information corresponding to at least one or more content areas of a document requested by the user while in the environment;
- and
- providing, via a user interface of the first device and based on the behavior policy, a secure view of the document with content displayed for the information corresponding to the at least one or more content areas of the document,
- wherein the behavior pattern of the user complies with the behavior policy associated with a first content area of the at least one or more content areas of the document, wherein the behavior pattern of the user does not comply with the behavior policy associated with a second content area of the at least one of more content areas of the document,
- wherein the content displayed for the first content area includes all corresponding information, and wherein the content displayed for the second content area obscures at least a portion of the corresponding information.
