Abstract
A computer security protection may be provided by dynamic computer system certification. User usage of a computer system may be monitored. Based on the monitoring a role of the user in the usage of the computer system is determined. A certification required for the role and whether the user has the certification sufficient for the role are determined. Responsive to determining that the user does not have the certification sufficient for the role, a certification process is initiated.
Claims20
A method of protecting computer security by dynamic computer system certification, the method executed by at least one hardware processor, the method comprising:
- monitoring user's usage of a computer system by determining commands the user executes on the computer system;
- determining based on the monitoring a role of the user in the usage of the computer system;
- determining certification required for the role;
- determining whether the user has the certification sufficient for the role;
- and
- responsive to determining that the user does not have the certification sufficient for the role, initiating a certification process, the certification process comprising determining a time for training based on the user's electronic calendar, automatically registering the user for the training on a training system, and at the time of the training, automatically connecting to the training system to allow the user to begin the training.
A computer readable storage medium storing a program of instructions executable by a machine to perform a method of protecting computer security by dynamic computer system certification, the method comprising:
- monitoring user's usage of a computer system by determining commands the user executes on the computer system;
- determining based on the monitoring a role of the user in the usage of the computer system;
- determining certification required for the role;
- determining whether the user has the certification sufficient for the role;
- and
- responsive to determining that the user does not have the certification sufficient for the role, initiating a certification process, the certification process comprising determining a time for training based on the user's electronic calendar, automatically registering the user for the training on a training system, and at the time of the training, automatically connecting to the training system to allow the user to begin the training.
A computer security system with dynamic computer system certification, comprising:
- at least one hardware processor monitoring user's usage of a computer system by determining commands the user executes on the computer system;
- the at least one hardware processor determining based on the monitoring a role of the user in the usage of the computer system;
- the at least one hardware processor determining certification required for the role;
- the at least one hardware processor determining whether the user has the certification sufficient for the role;
- and
- responsive to determining that the user does not have the certification sufficient for the role, the at least one hardware processor initiating a certification process, the certification process comprising determining a time for training based on the user's electronic calendar, automatically registering the user for the training on a training system, and at the time of the training, automatically connecting to the training system to allow the user to begin the training.
