Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional security breach detection systems struggle to accurately predict security breaches in user accounts, especially when multiple users share an account or when a user creates an independent account, due to their reliance on generic detection algorithms and failure to account for user-specific behavior.

Innovation Solution

The system generates a user-specific breach detection model by updating a base model with activities associated with a first user, labeling prior activities in a combined account to improve training data, and duplicating models to adapt to new accounts created by users.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If conventional generic detection algorithms are used, then system complexity is reduced and ease of operation is improved, but detection precision and reliability deteriorate due to inability to account for user-specific behavior

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebreach detection accuracyVSAvoidmodel personalization complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the detection model into a shared base model and user-specific personalized models. The base model handles generic detection patterns while user-specific models capture individual behavior patterns. This segmentation allows the system to achieve high detection accuracy for multiple users without requiring complete model redesign for each user, thus managing complexity while improving precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts model parameters based on user-specific activity patterns. When a user creates a new account, the system updates the personalized model parameters to reflect the user's new behavior patterns. This parameter adaptation enables the system to maintain high detection accuracy across different users and scenarios without requiring complex model retraining from scratch.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If user-specific personalized models are created for each user, then detection precision improves by capturing individual behavior patterns, but device complexity and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser-specific breach detection accuracyVSAvoidcomputational resources
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The model is divided into a shared base model that is computationally efficient and handles common detection tasks, and lightweight user-specific models that only process data relevant to individual users. This segmentation reduces the overall computational burden compared to creating completely separate models for each user, while still achieving high user-specific detection accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The base model serves multiple users universally, handling generic detection patterns that apply across all users. User-specific models then layer on top of this universal foundation to handle individual variations. This multi-functional approach allows the system to achieve high precision for each user while avoiding the computational waste of redundant model structures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Measurement precision

If the system trains new models from scratch for each new user account, then detection accuracy for that user improves, but loss of time and productivity decrease due to retraining requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenew user account detection accuracyVSAvoidmodel training time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by creating a base model that captures generic detection patterns before user-specific patterns are learned. When a new user account is created, the system uses this pre-existing base model as a foundation, only requiring lightweight updates to capture the new user's specific patterns. This preliminary preparation eliminates the need for complete model retraining and significantly reduces training time while maintaining high accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adapts the user-specific model parameters based on the new user's activity patterns rather than training from scratch. This dynamic adaptation approach allows the system to quickly adjust to new users while leveraging the computational efficiency of the shared base model, thereby reducing training time and improving productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

4Adaptability or versatility

If rule-based detection systems are used, then ease of operation is improved and system complexity is reduced, but adaptability deteriorates when users create new accounts or change behavior patterns

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to new account scenariosVSAvoidmachine learning model complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments detection functionality into a base model that handles generic patterns and user-specific models that handle individual adaptations. This segmentation provides adaptability to new scenarios like new accounts while keeping each component manageable. The base model maintains simplicity for common cases while user-specific models provide the necessary adaptability when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically switches between using the base model for generic cases and user-specific models for personalized cases. This dynamic approach allows the system to adapt to new scenarios like new accounts by activating the appropriate model level, providing versatility without requiring the entire system to be overly complex.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
