How OAAM Scoring Engine Works?

 What role does scoring engine plays? What is the exact flow of scoring mechanism?

To determine a risk score, each level applies its scoring engine to the results from one level below. For example, to determine the policy score, the scoring engine of the policy is applied to the scores of the rules within the policy. To determine the checkpoint score, the scoring engine of the checkpoint is applied to the scores of the policies within the checkpoint. The checkpoint score and action are the final score and action in the assessment. The alerts are propagate from the rules level to the final level.

I have prepared a video series explaining the role, need & work flow of scoring engine. Kindly watch & provide your comments.

OAAM Policy Weights

 What role does policy weights play in OAAM?

Weight is the multiplier values that are applied to policy scores to influence the impact the policy has on determining the total score. Policies have default weights. Weight is used only when a given policy or checkpoint uses a "weighted" scoring engine. The weighted scoring engine uses weights from subcomponents.

For example, if you choose the weighted scoring engine at the policy level, Oracle Adaptive Access Manager uses the weight specified for each rule level when calculating the policy score. Similarly, when you choose a weighted scoring engine at the policy set level, Oracle Adaptive Access Manager uses weights specified for each policy. The score of each policy multiplied by weight is divided by total number of policies multiplied by 100. The range is 0 to 1000.

I have explained the functioning of policy weights in below shared video. Kindly watch & let me know if you have any comments.

Hope this helps :-)
