Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for identifying network security risks. One of the methods includes receiving organizational hierarchy data and receiving access privilege data for a network, generating an adjacency matrix that represents connections between individuals within the organizational hierarchy and various groups, and that represents connections between the individuals and various access privileges, selecting an analytic technique for analyzing the adjacency matrix, determining, for each individual, an individual score that represents a security risk associated with the individual's network account, and in response to determining that the individual score meets a threshold, applying security controls.
