Granular secure user access to private resources

Abstract

Methods, systems and computer program products are provided for granular secure user access to private resources. Increased granularity of security policies for user access may reduce security threats to resources. Security policies indicating user access to secure resources may be based on various combinations of user identities, client-side process (e.g., sub-process) identities, device identities, device types, device locations, resource access types, intelligent access (e.g., selective traffic routing), etc. For example, a security policy may indicate user A, using computing device B executing process C with process signature S (e.g., a signing signature thumbprint, etc.) may access private resource D. A process identity may be indicated by at least one of a process name, a code signing signature, a thumbprint, a process version, or a process publisher. Resource access security policy determinations and/or enforcement may be performed by security clients and/or security engines (e.g., SASE providing ZTNA).
