Abstract
A computer system analyzes the state of a computer system to determine whether that state violates one or more security goals from a particular perspective, such as a particular user account or role. The system takes into account a combination of access rights, permissions, and entitlements to determine whether the state of the computer system violates any of the security goals. In response to determining that at least one of the security goals is violated, the computer system may change the state of the computer system so that it no longer violates the security goals, or prevent the computer system from being put into that state.
