A system for risk awareness during role mining

Abstract

This paper demonstrates a proof-of-concept prototype that is able to automatically and effectively detect and report different types of risk factors during the process of role mining. A role mining platform is embedded within the tool so that different role-mining algorithms can be used. Once roles are generated, a further analysis is done to detect risk presented by the roles output. To the best of our knowledge there is no such system that effectively detects risk factors and mines roles at the same time. The tool is easy to use, flexible and effective in automatically detecting risk. It can be useful for data analysts and role engineers.
