Abstract:
Embodiments can provide a method for accessing an endpoint, including: receiving, from a privileged user, a request for accessing the endpoint; providing, by a user behavior analytics device, a risk score with respect to the privileged user, wherein the risk score is calculated based on at least one action performed by the privileged user. If the risk score is lower than a first predefined value, providing access to the endpoint for the privileged user. If the risk score is higher than a second predefined value, denying the request for accessing the endpoint. If the risk score is between the first predefined value and the second predefined value, performing at least one of: providing, by a privileged identity management server, a multi-factor authentication against the privileged user; and rerouting the request for accessing the endpoint for approval.
