Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If human experts manually develop and manage playbooks for security events, then the analysis and countermeasures can be customized and effective, but it results in waste of time and human efforts have reached limits

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffectiveness of analysis and countermeasuresVSAvoidtime for developing and managing playbook
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automated playbook generation where the AI model autonomously creates playbooks from security events and threat intelligence without requiring manual human development. The system self-manages the playbook lifecycle including generation, verification, and updating, eliminating the time-consuming manual processes while maintaining effectiveness through AI-driven analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical process of playbook development with an automated AI-based system. The artificial learning model processes security events, analyzes threat intelligence, and generates playbooks automatically, substituting human expert manual work with an automated intelligent system that operates continuously without time constraints.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Adaptability or versatility

If human experts manually develop playbooks, then customization and effectiveness are achieved, but human efforts for developing and managing playbook have resulted in a waste of time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecustomization of analysis and countermeasuresVSAvoidefficiency of playbook development
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The AI system autonomously generates customized playbooks by analyzing specific security events and matching them with relevant threat intelligence. The system automatically adapts playbooks to different security scenarios without requiring manual customization, maintaining versatility while dramatically improving development efficiency through automated event analysis and playbook generation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts playbook parameters based on the specific characteristics of detected security events and current threat intelligence. The AI model modifies analysis depth, countermeasure selection, and response priorities according to event severity and type, enabling customization without manual intervention and significantly boosting productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Extent of automation

If automated playbook execution is implemented, then human intervention is reduced, but verification of effectiveness is required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomation of threat analysis and responseVSAvoideffectiveness verification of playbook
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates a verification module that automatically evaluates playbook effectiveness by analyzing execution results and security event outcomes. The feedback mechanism compares expected versus actual results, identifies areas for improvement, and triggers automated playbook updates, ensuring reliability is maintained through continuous validation while preserving high automation levels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
