A method for modifying a user session lifecycle is provided. The method may include verifying a user session on a cloud service provider is valid. The method may also include monitoring a plurality of user behaviors exhibited during the verified user session. The method may further include determining a plurality of session data within an identity provider should be updated based on the monitored plurality of user behaviors and a policy within a database. The method may also include modifying the determined plurality of session data.

Modifying a user session lifecycle in a cloud broker environment

A computer-implemented method includes receiving a request to authenticate a user to remotely access a secure device and establishing, in response to the user being granted remote access to the secure device, a remote user session for the user. The computer-implemented method further includes identifying a plurality of actions performed during the remote user session. The computer-implemented method further includes comparing a first combination of actions in the plurality of actions to a plurality of policies for malicious intent. The computer-implemented method further includes determining a level of risk for malicious intent for the first combination of actions. The computer-implemented method further includes generating, in response to the level of risk of the first combination of actions exceeding a given threshold level, one or more preventive actions. A corresponding computer system and computer program product are also disclosed.

Detection of malicious intent in privileged identity environments

A management component of a computing system evaluates end-users, end-user devices, and user accounts for access to provisioned-resources of the computing system. The management component utilizes device compliance attributes to form a device risk vector associated with an end-user device. The management component further utilizes resource compliance attributes to form a resource risk vector associated with a provisioned-resource. The management component forms a policy vector utilizing compliance attributes included in a compliance policy. The management component compares the device and resource risk vectors to the policy vector to determine a threat vector, and uses the threat vector to evaluate the end-users, end-user devices, and user accounts for risk of security breach, damage to, and/or loss of components of the computing system.
