Abstract

This work presents the description of the architecture of a novel enterprise security system, still in development, which can prevent and deal with the security flaws derived from the users in a company. Thus, the Multiplatform Usable Endpoint Security system (MUSES) considers diverse factors such as the information distribution, the type of accesses, the context where the users are, the category of users, or the mix between personal and private data, among others. This system includes an event correlator and a risk and trust analysis engine to perform the decision process. MUSES follows a set of defined security rules, according to the enterprise security policies, but it is able to self-adapt the decisions and even create new security rules depending on the user behaviour, the specific device, and the situation or context. To this aim MUSES applies machine learning and computational intelligence techniques which can also be used to predict potential unsafe or dangerous user's behaviour.
