DETERMINING DATA RISK AND MANAGING PERMISSIONS IN COMPUTING ENVIRONMENTS

Abstract:

Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer-readable storage mediums are described for assigning a security risk score to a resource. In one example, resource access data is collected for a resource. Based at least on the resource access data, a data risk index (DRI) score is generated for the resource. The DRI score comprises a value that is indicative of a level of risk that the resource will be compromised. At least one of the DRI score, an alert based at least on the DRI score, or a policy change for the resource based at least on the generated DRI score is reported to an administrator.
