COGNITIVE SECURITY TOKENS FOR RESTRICTING DATA ACCESS

Secure access to data within a communications platform is provided on a need-to-know basis. Inputs provided at the communication platform are intercepted and cognitively analyzed to determine context of the interaction and related data requirements. In response, data access rules are generated and/or retrieved and applied at an access gateway. As data requests as received from the called party from within the communications platform, the data access rules are applied to the request to determine if a match exists and, if so, data access rules-based access is provided to the data. In response to determining the context of the interaction, a context access token is generated and communicated to a virtual database assembler, which assembles a virtual database that only contains data responsive to the context of the interaction.
