Abstract
A system and method for securely processing sensitive streams in a mixed infrastructure includes analyzing a stream to determine data sensitivity. A likelihood that processing elements employed to process the stream would result in a risk to sensitive information is determined. At least a portion of the data stream having sensitive information is transferred to a secure processing environment to ensure security of the data stream during processing.
Claims20
A method for securely processing sensitive streams in a mixed infrastructure, comprising:
- analyzing a stream, using a processor, to determine data sensitivity;
- determining a likelihood that processing elements employed to process the stream would result in a risk to sensitive information;
- and
- transferring at least a portion of the data stream having sensitive information to a secure processing environment to ensure security of the data stream during processing.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising a computer readable program for securely processing sensitive streams in a mixed infrastructure, wherein the computer readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to perform the steps of:
- analyzing a stream to determine data sensitivity;
- determining a likelihood that processing elements employed to process the stream would result in a risk to sensitive information;
- and
- transferring at least a portion of the data stream having sensitive information to a secure processing environment to ensure security of the data stream during processing.
A method for securely processing sensitive streams in a mixed infrastructure, comprising:
- analyzing a stream, using a processor, to determine data sensitivity by discovering patterns in the data stream, computing a data sensitivity measure and comparing the data sensitivity measure to a threshold;
- for data streams having sensitive information, determining a likelihood that processing elements employed to process the stream would result in a risk to sensitive information;
- and
- transferring at least a portion of data streams having sensitive information to a secure processing environment to ensure security of the data stream during processing.
