Abstract

A system includes a sensor and a processor. The sensor is configured to passively read data in packets as the packets are in motion on a network. The processor is cooperatively operable with the sensor. The processor is configured to receive the read data from the sensor; and originate map profiles of files and file data, both from the read data from the sensor, as the passively read packets are in motion on the network. The processor is also configured to infer a user role for a user who is using the file and the file data and how the user is transferring or accessing the file and the file data. Inappropriate usage being performed by the user can then be detected from the user role and the read data to control access to particular files.
