Systems, methods, and computer program products are herein disclosed that provide for creating relationships between multiple asset systems, plurality of users, one or more applications, one or more logical assets, and/or the like leveraging existing data sets in one or more systems associated with a resource entity. Conventional systems utilize auto discovery tools to create the above mentioned relationships. However, the conventional auto discovery tools identify relationships between multiple asset systems by crawling into multiple systems based on a set of rules and accessing configuration files, or the like and cannot identify all existing relationships within an entity. The conventional auto discovery tools cannot identify relationships between the multiple asset systems and the one or more logical assets, one or more applications, and the plurality of users associated with the entity. Additionally, the conventional auto discovery tools are difficult to install, configure, and manage. The present system leverages already existing data within HR systems, asset management systems, and authentication systems providing authentication for the multiple asset systems, plurality of users, one or more applications, or the like to create combined solution data models comprising relationships between multiple asset systems, plurality of users, one or more applications, one or more logical assets.

Additionally present conventional systems cannot instantly reroute electronic data transmissions after identifying one or more events associated any one asset system (such as a cyber-attack) to prevent the malware associated with the cyber-attack from propagating into other asset systems connected to the network. Utilizing the relationships in the combined solution data models, the present system instantly reroutes electronic data transmissions associated with an asset system of the one or more asset systems in response to determining that the asset system has been affected as a result of a cyber-attack, thereby preventing the malware associated with the cyber-attack from propagating to other systems and causing a blackout.

FIG. 6 presents a process flow 600 illustrating generation of combined solution data model by the artificial intelligence engine of the resource entity system 10. As shown in block 610, the system accesses one or more authentication systems, wherein the one or more authentication systems comprise authentication information associated with the one or more asset systems and the plurality of users 4. The authentication information may be stored in a data store of the authentication system and the system may access the data store of the one or more authentication system. In some embodiments, the one or more authentication systems may authorize the system to access the authentication information stored in the data store of the one or more authentication systems. As shown in block 620, the system extracts the authentication information associated with the one or more asset systems and the plurality of users. In some embodiments, the extracted information may include only active authentications present in the data store. Active authentications may be any authentication used by the plurality of users or the one or more authentication systems or the one or more applications or logical assets associated with the resource entity within a predetermined amount of time. In some embodiments, the predetermined amount of time may be assigned by the resource entity. For example, the system may assign twelve months are the predetermined amount of time. In some embodiments, the system may perform routine maintenance on the one or more authentication systems 20 at regular intervals and delete all inactive forms of authentication present in the one or more authentication systems, thereby having the information ready for extraction during the process of generation of the combined solution data models. In such embodiments, the system may delete the inactive authentications only after receiving an approval from a relevant user. The relevant user may be associated with a first asset system or a first user associated with the inactive authentication. For example, the inactive authentication may be associated with a user who is not associated with the resource entity. The system may identify a reporting manager assigned to the user and may send the reporting manager a request for approval to delete the inactive authentication. In some embodiments, the authentication information may include reference identifiers associated with the plurality of users 4, the one or more asset systems 21, the one or more applications or logical assets, and/or the like. In some embodiments, the authentication information may include historical data logs comprising all authentications approved by the one or more authentication systems.

As shown in block 630, the system accesses the one or more human resources systems, wherein the one or more human resources systems comprise human resources information associated with the plurality of users. Human resources information may be inputted into the one or more human resources systems 40 by one or more plurality of users associated with human resources organizational group. The human resources information may include location information, hierarchy information, organization information, personal information, and/or the like. As shown in block 640, the system extracts the human resources information associated with the plurality of users. The system upon extracting the human resources information may sort the human resources information and store it in the data store of the system based on the human resources identifier, thereby providing easy retrieval of human resources information during the process of generation of combined solution data models.

As shown in block 650, the system accesses the one or more asset management systems, wherein the one or more asset management system comprises asset information associated with at least the type and location of the one or more asset systems. The asset information may also include environment information, logical asset information, application information, and/or the like associated with the one or more asset systems 21. As shown in block 660, the system extracts asset information associated with the one or more asset systems. The system, after extracting the asset information, may sort the asset information and may store it in the data store of the system based on asset reference identifier, thereby providing easy retrieval of asset information during the process of generation of combined solution data models.

As shown in block 670, the system identifies a first set of relationships between each of the one or more asset systems based on the extracted authentication information. The first set of relationships may include all forms of active authentication records present in the extracted authentication information between each of the one or more asset systems based on the historical data log information extracted from the one or more authentication systems. For example, the system may identify all entries in the historical data log information associated with a first asset reference identifier. In some embodiments, the system, after identifying the first set of relationships, may place the first set of relationships in temporary storage of the system such as random access memory for easy retrieval. In such embodiments, the system may identify duplicate relationships from the first set of relationships and may delete the duplicate relationships before storing the first set of relationships in the data store. For example, the system may identify all entries in the historical log information associated with a first reference identifier and a second reference identifier. When a first asset system associated with the first reference identifier and a second asset system associated with the second reference identifier communicate with each other, after identifying the entries associated with the first asset system and the second asset system, the system deletes duplicate records. In some embodiments, the system, after identifying the first set of relationships, may place the first set of relationships in both temporary storage and permanent storage of the system. Additionally, in some embodiments, the system may also identify relationships between multiple applications based on the extracted authentication information. For example, an application ‘A’ associated with asset system 1 may be accessing an application ‘B’ in asset system 2 and the system identifies the relationship between application ‘A’ and application ‘B’ based on historical data log information and may place this information in the temporary storage for easy retrieval.

As shown in block 680, the system identifies a second set of relationships between each of the one or more asset systems and each of the plurality of users based on the extracted authentication information. The second set of relationships may include all forms of active authentication present in the extracted authentication information between each of the one or more asset systems and each of the plurality of users based on the historical data log information extracted from the one or more authentication systems. For example, the system may identify all entries in the historical data log information associated with a first human resources identifier. In some embodiments, the system after identifying the second set of relationships, may place the second set of relationships in the temporary storage of the system such as random access memory for easy retrieval. In such embodiments, the system may identify duplicate relationships from the second set of relationships and may delete the duplicate relationships before storing the second set of relationships in the data store.

As shown in block 690, the system formulates the one or more solution data models based on the first set of relationships, the second set of relationships, asset information, and the human resources information. For example, for a relationship between the first asset system and the second asset system, the system identifies and links the asset information associated with the first asset reference identifier and the second asset reference identifier with the relationship. In another example, for a second relationship between the first asset system and a first user, the system identifies and links asset information associated with the first asset reference identifier and human resources information associated with the first human resources identifier with the relationship. The system combines all relationships and generates combined solution data models, wherein the combined solution data models show for every asset system one or more users associated with each of the asset systems, one or more asset systems connected with the each of the asset systems, one or more applications and logical assets associated with each of the asset systems. The combined data solution models also show lineage within an entity. In some embodiments, the system may generate one single unified data solution model. In some other embodiments, the system may generate multiple data solution models and link them with identifiers to form a combined solution data model.

FIG. 7 presents a process flow 700 for rerouting electronic data transmissions based on the generated combined solution data models. As shown in block 710, the system determines occurrence of an event, wherein the event is associated with at least a first asset of the one or more asset systems. In some embodiments, the event may be a cyber-attack emanated by a system outside the network of the resource entity. A malicious software may propagate to a first system of the one or more asset systems as a result of cyber-attack. In some embodiments, the system has a monitoring module to identify any triggers raised by any of the one or more asset systems upon identifying a malware. In some embodiments, the system communicates with the one or more asset management systems 30 to identify occurrence of the one or events. In some embodiments, a user of the plurality of users 4 notifies the system of the occurrence of the event.

As shown in block 720, the system extracts a first solution data model associated with the first asset from the model database. The system instantly upon identifying the occurrence of the event, extracts the first solution data model associated with the first asset affected by the malicious software. For example, the system identifies the first asset reference identifier in response to receiving the request and searches the model database to retrieve the first solution data model associated with the first asset reference identifier. In some embodiments, the extracted first solution data model may be in the form of a database table. In some embodiments, when the first solution data model is stored in the form of a database table, the first solution data model is extracted using extraction methods associated with the type of database comprising the solution data models.

As shown in block 730, the system identifies one or more relationships associated with the first asset from the extracted first solution data model. For example, the system identifies one or more users, one or more assets, one or more applications associated with the first asset by extracting the node associated with the first asset system from the extracted first solution data model. As shown in block 740, the system determines one or more asset systems connected with the first asset based on the one or more relationships. Additionally, in some embodiments, the system may identify one or more applications associated with the first asset based on the one or more relationships. In some embodiments, the one or more asset systems may be upstream to the first asset system. In some embodiments, the one or more asset systems may be downstream to the first asset system. In some other embodiments, the one or more asset systems may be both upstream and downstream to the first asset system. In some embodiments, the system determines at least the location of the first asset, data present in the first asset, and business group associated with the first asset based on the extracted first solution data model. For example, when the combined solution data model is stored in the form of a tree, the system identifies a node assigned to the first asset and extracts all information linked with the node. In some embodiments, the systems transmits a notification to at least one user of the business group, wherein the notification comprises at least information associated with the event, the location of the first asset, data present in the first asset, the business group associated with the asset.

As shown in block 750, the system identifies electronic data transfer jobs associated with the first asset and the one or more asset systems. Electronic data transfer jobs may include transfer of electronic data in the form of files, database tables, application data, and/or the like between different asset systems and applications within an entity. In some embodiments, the first asset may be receiving data from an upstream system of the one or more asset systems. In some embodiments, the first asset may be sending data to a downstream system of the one or more asset systems. In some embodiments, the first asset may be sending data to at least one downstream system of the one or more asset systems and receiving data from at least one upstream system of the one or more asset systems. In some embodiments, the first asset or applications associated with the first asset may be sending data or receiving data to one or more applications.

As shown in block 760, the system cancels the electronic data transfer jobs associated with the first asset and the one or more asset systems. When a malicious software enters the first asset system, the incoming data from upstream applications or asset systems may be compromised. Additionally, when a malicious software enters the first asset system, the malicious software may be propagated to other applications and asset systems along with the data being transferred to any of the downstream applications or asset systems. Therefore, the system cancels all electronic transfer jobs to prevent the data from being compromised and also prevent the malicious software from propagating into other asset systems and applications connected to the network of the resource entity. In some embodiments, the system cancels the ongoing electronic data transfer jobs associated with the first asset system and the one or more asset systems in response to identifying the event. In some embodiments, the system cancels all future electronic data transfer jobs associated with the first asset system and the one or more asset systems scheduled for a future time. For example, multiple data transfer jobs may be scheduled for a particular time during the day. The system identifies all such data transfer jobs and cancels the jobs.

As shown in block 770, the system reroutes the electronic data transfer jobs associated with the first asset to at least one second asset based on the extracted first solution data model. In some embodiments, the system reroutes the electronic data transfer jobs only after receiving an approval from a user of the plurality of users. For example, the user may access a user interface provided by the transmission rerouting application and may provide approval to reroute the electronic data transfer jobs. In some embodiments, the system reroutes the electronic data transfer jobs to a second asset not associated with the first asset system. In some embodiments, the system instead of canceling all electronic data transfer jobs associated with the first asset, reroutes the electronic data transfer jobs instantly. For example, if the system identifies that the asset system ‘A’ contains a malicious software, the system instantly reroutes the electronic data transfer jobs associated with system ‘A’ to an asset system ‘B.’ The asset system ‘B’ may be an asset system performing similar processes and having same data as of asset system ‘A.’ In some embodiments, the asset system ‘B’ may be in the same level as of asset system ‘A.’ For example, the asset system ‘B’ may be parallel to the asset system ‘A’ as opposed to the asset system ‘B’ being upstream or downstream to asset system ‘A.’ In some embodiments, the system holds the electronic data transfer jobs for until the malicious software has been removed from the first asset system. In some embodiments, the system transmits a second notification to at least one user of the business group about the cancelled, rescheduled, and rerouted electronic data transfer jobs associated with the first asset systems.
