CONTINUOUS AND ANONYMOUS RISK EVALUATION

Abstract:

Techniques for risk evaluation include receiving, from a requesting entity, a request for monitoring target entities specifying a first identifier associated with each target entity and target entity information. The system generates a second identifier and a third identifier for each target entity and stores a mapping of the second identifiers to the first identifiers and the third identifiers, preventing the second identifiers from being provided to the requesting entity. The system monitors a periodically updated data set and determines risk metrics for the target entities, comparing each risk metric to a threshold value to identify target entities whose risk data indicates an insider threat. The system generates a third identifier for the identified target entities and provides the third identifiers to the requesting entity. Responsive to a request for a corresponding first identifier, the system identifies and provides the first and third identifiers to the requesting entity.
