Defining a security perimeter using knowledge of user behavior within a content management system

Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer program products for content management systems. Multiple components are operatively interconnected to carry out operations for content management systems. Content objects of a content management system (CMS) are managed from original creation through to final disposition (e.g., deletion). The CMS communicates with a security threat management facility (STMF). In operation, the STMF establishes a first set of security parameters corresponding to information derived from packet inspection, whereas the CMS establishes a second set of security parameters corresponding to information derived at least in part by analysis of user activities or contents of the content object. A security perimeter is formed by combining the first set of security parameters and a second set of security parameters. Risks or vulnerabilities corresponding to the content object are minimized by choosing the lower of any two compared parameters to define a lower risk perimeter for the content object.
