I am looking for a system based on the model below or thoughts on the model.
Everything that I have seen so far is lacks automated real-time response and
I have limited headcount. Pardon my blunt language but I am no wordsmith.

In most systems that I am familiar with things go like this:

1. a user is authenticated (we don't care who at this point but it is
relevant - let's assume an individual finds id/password/token)

2. authorization is granted for access to services and resources.

3. And away we go - an insider opportunity for discovery...

And that's about it, sometimes in a really security aware organization (I
like the casino model myself) a significant amount of real-time monitoring
occurs and a profile is built and passed to other monitoring entities and
management as required.


My question is this, are there any software systems out there that do the
same as above or even better. If you diverge from your profile activities
your authorization window narrows but does not close and an alert is sent to
Security Operations. Even if you change your authentication the suspect
profile is still on record and the process will rematch your activities (I
guess I am assuming here that the target information is the same) and again
follow the process, but this time escalating the event to Security
Operations and potentially isolating the target from access within the
suspect subnet, building, floor if things get really dicey. The above is
based on personal usage characteristic and not necessarily the users access
authorizations. I see an alert being just as valid if this user who has
authorization for Y and has never accessed Y is suddenly very active in Y -
it's out of character for him to access Y at all. I know that there are
several enterprise systems that will log user activity but fail to take
proactive steps in real time.
