Abstract

The present disclosure includes a system, method, and article of manufacture for lossless compression of data and high speed manipulation of the data. The method may comprise associating a customer with a plurality of levels, and counting, in near real time, a number of transactions at each level in the plurality of levels based on a transaction history of the customer at each of a plurality of merchants. The method may further comprise counting the number of transactions during a time period. Similarly, the method may comprise determining an opportunity comprising an offer based upon the counting, determining an opportunity based upon a count indicating a transaction by the customer with a merchant, and/or determining an opportunity with a first merchant based upon a count indicating a transaction by the customer with a second merchant.

Claims

1-20. -20. (canceled)

21. A method, comprising:

determining, by a computing system, for a group of users authorized to access at least a portion of data stored in a data repository, access information for one or more files in the data repository over a particular time interval, wherein the access information specifies number of accesses, access types, and access results; and

determining and storing, by the computing system based on the access information, risk levels associated with likelihood of harmful accesses to the data repository for users in the group of users.

22. The method of claim 21, wherein the access types indicate at least whether a given access included read or write operations and wherein the access results indicate at least whether a given access was granted.

23. The method of claim 21, wherein users in the group of users are assigned unique powers of two, wherein the access information corresponding to a user in the group of users is stored at a location that is based on a power of two assigned to the user.

24. The method of claim 21, further comprising:

adjusting one or more access controls for the data repository and the group of users based on one or more of the risk levels.

25. The method of claim 21, further comprising:

identifying, based on the access information, one or more files that at least one user of the group of users was authorized to access but did not access during the particular time interval.

26. The method of claim 21, wherein the risk levels are further determined based on potential impact of harmful accesses, wherein the potential impact is determined based on the access information.

27. The method of claim 21, wherein determining the access information for the one or more files includes determining a maximum access attempted.

28. The method of claim 21, wherein the determining the access information includes counting, for each user of the group of users, for each file of the one or more files, for each different access type of the access types, and for each different access result of the access results, a number of accesses corresponding to the user, file, access type, and access result over the time interval.

29. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that are executable by a computing device to perform operations comprising:

determining for a group of users authorized to access at least a portion of data stored in a data repository, access information for a plurality of files in the data repository over one or more time periods, wherein the access information specifies number of accesses, access types, and access results; and

determining and storing, based on the access information, risk levels associated with users in the group of users.

30. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 29, wherein the risk levels are associated with at least one of likelihood of harmful accesses or impact of harmful accesses.

31. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 29, wherein the access types include one or more of:

read, write, or delete.

32. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 29, wherein the access results include one or more of:

granted or denied.

33. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 29, wherein the determining the access information includes counting, for each user of the group of users, for each file of the one or more files, for each different access type of the access types, and for each different access result of the access results, a number of accesses corresponding to the user, file, access type, and access result over the one or more time periods.

34. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 29, wherein the operations further comprise:

adjusting one or more authorizations for the data repository and the group of users based on one or more of the stored risk levels.

35. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 29, wherein determining the access information for the one or more files includes determining a maximum number of a particular access type.

36. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 29, wherein the operations further comprise:

determining, based on the access information, excessive granted access during the one or more time periods.

37. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 29, wherein the operations further comprise:

determining, based on the access information, potential malicious attempted access during the one or more time periods.

38. A system, comprising:

one or more processors; and

one or more memories having program instructions stored thereon that are executable by the one or more processors to cause the system to perform operations comprising;

determining for a group of users authorized to access at least a portion of data stored in a data repository, access information for a plurality of files in the data repository over a particular time interval, wherein the access information specifies number of accesses, access types, and access results; and

determining, based on the access information, risk levels associated with potential harmful accesses to the data repository for users in the group of users.

39. The system of claim 38, wherein the operations further comprise:

determining whether a user in the group of users accessed the data repository during the time interval.

40. The system of claim 38, wherein the access types indicate at least whether a given access included read or modify operations and wherein the access results indicate at least whether a given access was granted based on one or more security restrictions.
