Abstract

A flexible, efficient and easy-to-use computer security management system effectively evaluates and responds to informational risks on a wide variety of computing platforms and in a rapidly changing network environment. An individual computer system dynamically monitors its end user, without regard to network connectivity, in order to calculate a risk score and to ensure that the end user'"'"'s behavior does not put corporate information or other assets at risk. Data regarding such risks and responses are analyzed and stored in real-time.
