System, apparatuses, and method for linking and advising of network events related to resource access

A system comprising:

• a first server having a network address pool, and configured to assign network addresses to respective user computers for corresponding sessions on a computer network, the first server configured to generate assignment event data indicating the network address assigned to a user computer for use in a respective session on the computer network, and the computer address of the user computer to which the network address was assigned;
• a second server having a directory of user identification data, the second server configured to be used to authenticate users by comparing user identification data provided by users, with user identification data stored in the directory, to determine whether the user identification data provided by users are valid, the second server generating authentication event data indicating the network address assigned to a user computer, and the user identification data determined to be valid for the user for a respective session;
• at least one network sensor unit coupled in the computer network in proximity to a corresponding network device storing at least one network resource, the network sensor unit detecting requests to access at least one network resource, the network sensor unit generating resource access event data in response to a request to access the network resource from a user computer, the resource access event data comprising the network address assigned to the user computer and data indicating the resource to which access is requested;
• a collector coupled to the computer network to receive assignment event data, authentication event data, and resource access event data from the first server, second server, and network sensor unit;
• a data storage unit coupled to the collector and storing the assignment event data, authentication event data, and resource access event data received from the collector;
• and
• an advisor coupled to at least one of the collector and data storage unit, the advisor receiving the assignment event data, authentication event data, and resource access event data, and generating a presentation based on the assignment event data, authentication event data, and resource access event data.
