System and method for peer group detection, visualization and analysis in identity management artificial intelligence systems using cluster based analysis of network identity graphs
Systems and methods for graph based artificial intelligence systems for identity management systems are disclosed. Embodiments of the identity management systems disclosed herein may utilize a network graph approach to peer grouping of identities of distributed networked enterprise computing environment. Specifically, in certain embodiments, data on the identities and the respective entitlements assigned to each identity as utilized in an enterprise computer environment may be obtained by an identity management system. A network identity graph may be constructed using the identity and entitlement data. The identity graph can then be clustered into peer groups of identities. The peer groups of identities may be used by the identity management system and users thereof in risk assessment or other identity management tasks.
1. An identity management system, comprising:
a memory;
a processor;
a non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium including computer instructions for:
presenting an identity management interface, including:
presenting identity management information through the identity management interface, wherein the identity management information is determined from a representation of identity management data utilized in identity management in a distributed enterprise computing environment and comprising data on a set of identities and a set of entitlements associated with the set of identities, wherein the representation of the identity management data includes:
a representation for each of the set of identities,
a representation of a relationship between a first identity and a second identity for each first identity and second identity of the identity management data that share at least one entitlement of the set of entitlements, wherein the relationship has an associated weight based on the at least one shared entitlement between the first identity and the second identity, and
a representation of a peer group of identities of the set of identities, the peer group determined based on a clustering of the set of identities based on the relationships in the representation of the identity management data.
2. The identity management system of claim 1 , wherein the presented identity management information comprises information on the peer group.

a representation for each of the set of identities,
a representation of a relationship between a first identity and a second identity for each first identity and second identity of the identity management data that share at least one entitlement of the set of entitlements, wherein the relationship has an associated weight based on the at least one shared entitlement between the first identity and the second identity, and
a representation of a peer group of identities of the set of identities, the peer group determined based on a clustering of the set of identities based on the relationships in the representation of the identity management data.
