A system, method, and computer program product are provided for preventing access to data associated with a data access attempt. In use, a data access attempt associated with a remote data sharing session is identified. Further, access to the data is prevented.

A query is received from a particular endpoint device identifying a particular wireless access point encountered by the particular endpoint device. Pre-existing risk assessment data is identified for the identified particular wireless access point and query result data is sent to the particular endpoint device characterizing pre-assessed risk associated with the particular wireless access point. In some instances, the query result data is generated based on the pre-existing risk assessment data. In some instances, pre-existing risk assessment data can be the result of an earlier risk assessment carried-out at least in part by an endpoint device interfacing with and testing the particular wireless access point.

Mobile risk assessment

A particular activity performed by a particular user of a computing device is identified, for instance, by an agent installed on the computing device. It is determined that the particular activity qualifies as a particular use violation in a plurality of pre-defined use violations. A behavioral risk score for the particular score for the user is determined based at least in part on the determination that the particular activity of the particular user qualifies as a particular use violation. Determining that the particular activity qualifies as a particular use violation can include determining that the particular activity violates a particular rule or event trigger corresponding to a particular pre-defined use violation.

User behavioral risk assessment

A system, method, and computer program product are provided for preventing data loss associated with an image. In use, an image is identified, and it is determined whether the image includes predetermined data. In addition, an action is performed based on the determination, for preventing data loss.

A predetermined particular behavioral profile is identified associated with at least one particular user of a computing system, the particular behavioral profile identifying expected behavior of the at least one user within the computing system. Activities associated with use of the computing system by the particular user are identified and it is determined whether the identified activities correlate with the particular behavioral profile. Identifying an activity that deviates from the particular behavioral profile beyond a particular threshold triggers a risk event relating to the particular user.

At least one available wireless access point is identified at a particular location and a connection is established with the available wireless access point. Communication is attempted with a trusted endpoint over the wireless access point and the attempted communication with the trusted endpoint over the wireless access point is monitored to assess risk associated with the wireless access point. Results of the assessment, in some instances, can be reported to an access point risk manager and risk associated with future attempts to use the wireless access point can be assessed based at least in part on the reported assessment results.

A standardized vulnerability score is identified for a particular vulnerability in a plurality of known vulnerabilities, the standardized vulnerability score indicating a relative level of risk associated with the particular vulnerability relative other vulnerabilities. A vulnerability detection score is determined that indicates an estimated probability that a particular asset possess the particular vulnerability and a vulnerability composite score is determined for the particular asset to the particular vulnerability, the vulnerability composite score derived from the standardized vulnerability score and the vulnerability detection score. A countermeasure component score is identified that indicates an estimated probability that a countermeasure will mitigate risk associated with the particular vulnerability on the particular asset. A risk metric for the particular asset and the particular vulnerability is determined from the vulnerability composite score and the countermeasure component score. In some instances, aggregate risk scores can be calculated from a plurality of calculated risk metrics.
