AUTO-TUNING PERMISSIONS USING A LEARNING MODE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18604379 titled 'AUTO-TUNING PERMISSIONS USING A LEARNING MODE
The patent application describes methods, systems, and computer-readable media for auto-tuning permissions using a learning mode.
- During the learning mode in a pre-production environment, access requests to services and resources by an application are analyzed.
- The services and resources are hosted in a multi-tenant provider network.
- A subset of the services and resources used by the application during the learning mode is identified.
- An access control policy is generated based on the subset of services and resources used during the learning mode.
- The access control policy is attached to a role associated with the application for use in a production environment.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in cloud computing environments to automatically adjust permissions based on usage patterns. - It can enhance security measures by ensuring that only necessary services and resources are accessible to applications.
Problems Solved: - Streamlines the process of managing permissions for applications in complex network environments. - Reduces the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive services and resources.
Benefits: - Improves overall security posture by fine-tuning access controls. - Increases efficiency by automating the permission adjustment process.
Commercial Applications: Auto-tuning permissions technology can be utilized by cloud service providers, software development companies, and enterprises with complex network infrastructures to enhance security and streamline access control processes.
Questions about Auto-Tuning Permissions Technology: 1. How does auto-tuning permissions technology improve security in cloud computing environments? 2. What are the key benefits of using a learning mode to adjust permissions for applications automatically?
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for auto-tuning permissions using a learning mode are disclosed. A plurality of access requests to a plurality of services and resources by an application are determined during execution of the application in a learning mode in a pre-production environment. The plurality of services and resources are hosted in a multi-tenant provider network. A subset of the services and resources that were used by the application during the learning mode are determined. An access control policy is generated that permits access to the subset of the services and resources used by the application during the learning mode. The access control policy is attached to a role associated with the application to permit access to the subset of the services and resources in a production environment.
