System and method for monitoring and restricting electronic communication in a network based on communication characteristics

A computer program product for monitoring and restricting electronic communication in a network based on communication characteristics, the computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-readable program code portions embodied therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising an executable portion that when executed by at least one processor causes the at least one processor to:

• receive an electronic communication from an end-point device;
• identify a potential user identity associated with the electronic communication, wherein the potential user identity is based on one or more user identifiers associated with the electronic communication;
• generate one or more restriction tags to be associated with at least one of an end-point device or a user, wherein the one or more restriction tags are generated based on a request to restrict access by at least one of the end-point device or user to one or more entity users;
• determine one or more restriction tags relating to the potential user identity, wherein each of the one or more restriction tags comprise a restriction to communication between the end-point device and one or more entity users;
• and
• cause a restriction action to be executed based on determining the potential user identity has one or more restriction tags, wherein the restriction action is at least one of a restriction notification or a communication restriction to communication with the end-point device;
• and
• route the end-point device to a mimic end-point device, wherein the mimic end-point device is configured to impersonate at least one of the one or more entity users associated with the one or more restriction tags.

A computer-implemented method for monitoring and restricting electronic communication in a network based on communication characteristics, the method comprising:

• receiving an electronic communication from an end-point device;
• identifying a potential user identity associated with the electronic communication, wherein the potential user identity is based on one or more user identifiers associated with the electronic communication;
• generating one or more restriction tags to be associated with at least one of an end-point device or a user, wherein the one or more restriction tags are generated based on a request to restrict access by at least one of the end-point device or user to one or more entity users;
• determining one or more restriction tags relating to the potential user identity, wherein each of the one or more restriction tags comprise a restriction to communication between the end-point device and one or more entity users;
• and
• based on determining the potential user identity has one or more restriction tags, causing a restriction action to be executed, wherein the restriction action is at least one of a restriction notification or a communication restriction to communication with the end-point device;
• and
• routing the end-point device to a mimic end-point device, wherein the mimic end-point device is configured to impersonate at least one of the one or more entity users associated with the one or more restriction tags.
