Abstract

Normalized access control policies associated with entities in an information technology (IT) infrastructure comprising a plurality of subsystems may be obtained based on a stored access control policy representation governing access to resources in the IT infrastructure. Based on the normalized access control policies, entity clusters associated with the entities may be determined. Further, derived access control policies corresponding to the at least one entity cluster may be determined. A set of non-compliant access control policies may be determined where the set of non-compliant access control policies may comprise: a subset of the normalized access control policies that are non-compliant with stated access control policies applicable to the entity clusters, and/or a subset of the derived access control policies that are non-compliant with the stated access control policies. Machine learning and/or Artificial Intelligence techniques may be used to determine, maintain, and audit policies for the IT infrastructure.
