SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING RISK RATINGS OF ROLES ON CLOUD COMPUTING PLATFORM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240323235 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING RISK RATINGS OF ROLES ON CLOUD COMPUTING PLATFORM
The abstract describes a system that includes a database and a server. The database stores cloud computing service accounts, roles associated with each account, and policies associated with each role. The server, in communication with the database, contains a role risk rating engine.
- Selects a role from the database
- Retrieves policies associated with the role
- Determines a risk rating for the role based on the policies
- Stores the risk rating in the database
- Receives queries for the risk rating of a role
- Transmits the risk rating in response to queries
Potential Applications: - Cloud computing security - Role-based access control - Risk assessment in cloud environments
Problems Solved: - Efficiently managing and assessing risks associated with different roles in cloud computing - Providing a centralized system for storing and retrieving role risk ratings
Benefits: - Enhanced security in cloud computing environments - Streamlined risk assessment processes - Improved access control mechanisms
Commercial Applications: Title: Cloud Computing Role Risk Rating System This technology can be used by cloud service providers, enterprises utilizing cloud services, and cybersecurity firms to enhance security measures and ensure compliance with regulations.
Questions about the Cloud Computing Role Risk Rating System: 1. How does this system improve security in cloud computing environments? 2. What are the key advantages of using role-based risk ratings in cloud services?
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on the latest advancements in cloud computing security and risk assessment methodologies to enhance the effectiveness of the role risk rating system.
Original Abstract Submitted
a system is provided including a database and a server. the database stores a plurality of cloud computing service accounts created on a cloud computing platform, a plurality of roles associated with each cloud computing service account, and a plurality of policies associated with each role. the server is in data communication with the database and containing a role risk rating engine. the role risk rating engine is configured to: select a first role of the plurality of roles from the database; retrieve the plurality of policies associated with the first role; determine a risk rating for the first role based on the plurality of policies associated with the first role; store the risk rating of the first role in the database; receive a query requesting the risk rating of the first role; and in response to the query, transmit the risk rating of the first role.
