Abstract

Reducing risks associated with network usage is provided. Variable information is extracted from network activity log data that includes a request from a user in an organization for content from a network content source. The variable information includes a number of times that the network content source has been requested, a volume of organization users that have made a request from the network content source, and a period of time for which traffic with respect to the network content source has been detected. The variable information is scored to generate a risk score. An access control level is determined for the network content source based on the risk score and a content access policy for the organization. Access of the user in the organization to the network content source is controlled according to the access control level.
