A system for and a method of regulating the data interconnections between applications running on an infrastructure are provided. The system/method records access permission data into metadata embedded in the source code of each such application that regulates the data that can be received or transmitted by that application. In addition to regulating the receipt or transmission of data, the metadata can serve to provide instruction to firewalls and other regulating systems in order to configure those systems to allow the applications to receive and transmit data for which permissions have been recorded.

System for and method of determining data connections between software applications

Systems and methods of managing computing resources of a computing system are described. A computing resource list and computing resource information may be stored at a data store. The computing resource list may identify a set of computing resources of a computing system, and the computing resource information may respectively describe the computing resources. The computing resource list may be updated in response to a new computing resource being added to the computing system or in response to an existing computing resource being removed from the computing system. Evaluation tasks for the computing resources may be performed, and a resource evaluation report may be generated during performance of at least one of the evaluation reports.

Computing resource inventory system

Systems and methods for managing risk management rules are provided. A risk management rule may be configured at a rule configuration interface are described. The rule configuration interface may include a list of access rights available for selection. Based on input received, one of the access rights may be identified as a base access right and one of the access rights may be identified as a conflicting access right for the risk management rule. The access rights provisioned at the computing system may be monitored to determine whether a user is provisioned with both the base access right and the conflicting access right. If so, a violation review may be created and presented at a violation review interface at which a decision for the violation review is receivable. An exception to the risk management rule may also be configured at an exception configuration interface.

Facilitating separation-of-duties when provisioning access rights in a computing system

Systems and methods for ensuring the quality of identity and access management information at a computing system are described. Access right information that respectively corresponds to one or more access rights may be stored at a data store. The access right information may be stored in accordance with a data model that defines respective relationships between the access rights and both the users having access to the computing system and the computing resources of the computing system. At least a portion of the access right information may be retrieved, and quality assurance tasks may be performed using the portion of the access right information retrieved.

Quality assurance checks of access rights in a computing system

Systems and methods are provide for reconciling access rights of a computing system are described. Access right information that respectively corresponds to access rights of a computing system may be obtained and evaluated. Reconciliation tasks may be performed using the access right information, and a reconciliation report may be generated during performance of at least one of the reconciliation tasks. The reconciliation report may indicate that one or more of the access rights should either be provisioned or revoked at the computing system.

Reconciliation of access rights in a computing system

Systems and methods of managing computing resources of a computing system are described. A computing resource list and computing resource information may be stored at a data store. The computing resource list may identify a set of computing resources of a computing system, and the computing resource information may respectively describe the computing resources. The computing resource list may be updated in response to a new computing resource being added to the computing system or in response to an existing computing resource being removed from the computing system. Evaluation tasks for the computing resources may be performed, and a resource evaluation report may be generated during performance of at least one of the evaluation task.

A data model for managing identity and access management (IAM) data implemented at an electronic database may include a set of logical resource elements, a set of physical resource elements, and a set of access requests elements that respectively model logical resources, physical resources, and access requests received at an access request manager of an enterprise. The physical resource elements may be respectively associated with the logical resource elements such that access rights for the physical resources may be obtained based on a logical resource specified in the access request. A system for managing IAM may include a mapping module configured to transform heterogeneous IAM data provided by a plurality of IAM data sources into homogeneous IAM data formatted according to the common IAM data format. A data store may implement the IAM data model such that the data store is configured to store the homogeneous IAM data.

Common data model for identity access management data

According to one embodiment, an apparatus may receive a first data token indicating a request for data associated with the resource, a subject token indicating that at least one form of authentication has been completed, and a network token indicating that at least one form of encryption has been performed. The apparatus may determine at least one token-based rule based at least in part upon the first data token, the subject token, and the network token. The apparatus may determine, based at least in part upon the at least one token-based rule, that a second data token representing the data should be generated. The apparatus may generate a message indicating the determination that the second data token should be generated and then transmit the message.
