Abstract
A processor may install an imposter security client (ISC) at an endpoint. The processor may install a subscription based imposter security service (ISS). The ISS may be part of an identity and access management (IAM) system. The processor may exchange information between the ISC and the ISS. The exchange may be automatically triggered when the ISS receives an imposter identification (ID) from the IAM system. The imposter ID may be associated with an unauthorized endpoint user. The processor may protect the endpoint from the unauthorized endpoint user.
Claims20
A system to secure an endpoint from invalid users, the system comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor in communication with the memory, the processor being configured to perform operations comprising:
- installing an Imposter Security Client (ISC) at an endpoint;
- installing a subscription based Imposter Security Service (ISS), wherein the ISS may be part of an Identity and Access Management (IAM) system;
- exchanging information between the ISC and the ISS, wherein the exchange is automatically triggered when the ISS receives an imposter identification (ID) from the IAM system, and wherein the imposter ID is associated with an unauthorized endpoint user;
- and
- protecting the endpoint from the unauthorized endpoint user.
A computer-implemented method to secure an endpoint from invalid users, the method comprising:
- installing, by a processor, an Imposter Security Client (ISC) at an endpoint;
- installing a subscription based Imposter Security Service (ISS), wherein the ISS may be part of an Identity and Access Management (IAM) system;
- exchanging information between the ISC and the ISS, wherein the exchange is automatically triggered when the ISS receives an imposter identification (ID) from the IAM system, and wherein the imposter ID is associated with an unauthorized endpoint user;
- and
- protecting the endpoint from the unauthorized endpoint user.
A computer program product to secure an endpoint from invalid users comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- installing an Imposter Security Client (ISC) at an endpoint;
- installing a subscription based Imposter Security Service (ISS), wherein the ISS may be part of an Identity and Access Management (IAM) system;
- exchanging information between the ISC and the ISS, wherein the exchange is automatically triggered when the ISS receives an imposter identification (ID) from the IAM system, and wherein the imposter ID is associated with an unauthorized endpoint user;
- and
- protecting the endpoint from the unauthorized endpoint user.
