5G Security Coupons for Personalized Threat Protection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
5G wireless networks face increased cybersecurity threats due to higher volumes and types of data, creating vulnerabilities that conventional security techniques are unable to effectively address, especially given the cost and resource intensiveness of deploying security resources across diverse networks.
Innovation Solution
A security system utilizing digital on-demand coupons that provide personalized protection by generating coupons on-demand to address specific cybersecurity threats, leveraging a multi-dimensional Domain Name System (DNS) to map threats to IP addresses or URLs and dynamically allocate security resources, ensuring timely and targeted safeguarding of network entities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If security resources are deployed across a massively diverse network of devices, then network security protection is improved, but cost and resource consumption increase prohibitively
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements local quality by providing personalized security protection tailored to each network entity's specific vulnerabilities and threats. The system analyzes individual device characteristics, vulnerability profiles, and threat exposures to deliver customized security measures rather than uniform protection across all devices. This allows security resources to be optimized for each location or device specific needs, improving overall security effectiveness while reducing waste.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the network security system into multiple components including vulnerability analysis modules, threat exposure assessment modules, coupon generation modules, and security resource allocation modules. Each segment handles specific aspects of the security process, allowing for independent optimization and efficient resource distribution. The segmentation enables the system to process large numbers of diverse devices through modular operations rather than requiring centralized resource deployment.
2Ease of manufacture
If conventional security techniques are used, then implementation is simple, but they cannot effectively address the increased cybersecurity threats in 5G networks
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the system continuously monitors network entities for vulnerabilities and threat exposures, generates security coupons based on this information, tracks redemption rates, and uses this data to refine future security recommendations. The feedback loop includes analyzing coupon redemption patterns, updating vulnerability assessments, and adjusting threat models, enabling the system to adapt and improve security effectiveness while maintaining automated operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by allowing network entities to autonomously receive vulnerability assessments, obtain security coupons, and redeem them for appropriate security resources without requiring manual intervention. The automated coupon generation and distribution system empowers individual devices to manage their own security needs based on their specific risk profiles, reducing implementation complexity while improving targeted effectiveness.
3Productivity
If security resources are allocated dynamically on-demand, then resource efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements universality by creating a multi-functional security system that performs vulnerability analysis, threat assessment, coupon generation, resource allocation, and monitoring through integrated modules. The security coupon mechanism serves multiple purposes including resource allocation, user engagement, tracking, and incentive provision. This multi-functionality allows the system to handle diverse security needs across the network using a unified approach, improving resource efficiency while managing complexity through consolidation rather than proliferation of separate systems.
Data Source
AI summary
A method performed by a security system of a 5G network to protect against cyberattacks on a personalized basis. The security system can identify a cybersecurity threat to a wireless device based on contextual information relating to the wireless device, a user preference, or a call detail record. The security system can determine a one-time fee to charge the user in exchange for protecting the wireless device against the cybersecurity threat, generate an coupon to protect the wireless device against the cybersecurity threat, and send the coupon to the wireless device based at least in part on the contextual information relating to the wireless device and the user preference. When the security system receives an indication that the coupon was redeemed, responds by deploying a network asset to protect the wireless device against the cybersecurity threat.
