Abstract

A method, system and computer-usable medium for routing data loss prevention (DLP) events across different network levels. A determination is made as to a number of DLP networks. The classification and data as to a DLP network is determined. Certain data is processed, including an entity risk level and certain data is held, such as certificates. The held data is processed by a computing platform. Processed entity risk levels are returned to the DLP networks. When all networks are processed, processed and held data are sent to the computing platform.

Claims (38)

1. A computer-implementable method for routing data loss prevention (DLP) events across different network levels comprising:

determining the number of DLP networks to process;

determining classification of a DLP network and data to be received from the DLP networks;

processing certain data that includes secure socket layer (SSL) certificates of the DLP networks, that include risk ratings that are pushed and stored to a repository network;

providing the stored risk ratings of the DLP network to the other DLP networks;

processing the remaining DLP networks; and

passing all processed and held data to a computing platform for the other DLP networks to push and pull the processed and held data from.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the routing is directed to unified access management.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data includes topic sets and certificates.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein held data are certificates which are processed by the computing platform.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein a repository holds data and passes the held data to a controller that processes the data.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the computing platform is a functional behavior assessment (FBA) platform.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein intermediately processed networks are passed through an edge device.

8. A system comprising: a processor; a data bus coupled to the processor; and a non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium embodying computer program code, the non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium being coupled to the data bus, the computer program code interacting with a plurality of computer operations and comprising instructions executable by the processor and configured for:

determining the number of DLP networks to process;

determining classification of a DLP network and data to be received from the DLP networks;

processing certain data that includes secure socket layer (SSL) certificates of the DLP networks, that include risk ratings that are pushed and stored to a repository network;

providing the stored risk ratings of the DLP network to the other DLP networks;

processing the remaining DLP networks;

and passing all processed and held data to a computing platform for the other DLP networks to push and pull the processed and held data from.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the routing is directed to unified access management.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the data includes topic sets and certificates.

11. The system of claim 8 , wherein held data are certificates which are processed by the computing platform.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein a repository holds data and passes the held data to a controller that processes the data.

13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the computing platform is a functional behavior assessment (FBA) platform.

14. The system of claim 8 , wherein intermediately processed networks are passed through an edge device.

15. A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium embodying computer program code, the computer program code comprising computer executable instructions configured for:

determining the number of DLP networks to process;

determining classification of a DLP network and data to be received from the DLP networks;

processing certain data that includes secure socket layer (SSL) certificates of the DLP networks, that include risk ratings that are pushed and stored to a repository network;

providing the stored risk ratings of the DLP network to the other DLP networks;

processing the remaining DLP networks; and

passing all processed and held data to a computing platform for the other DLP networks to push and pull the processed and held data from.

16. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the routing is directed to unified access management.

17. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the data includes topic sets and certificates.

18. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein held data are certificates which are processed by the computing platform.

19. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein a repository holds data and passes the held data to a controller that processes the data.

20. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the computing platform is a functional behavior assessment (FBA) platform.
