Cybersecurity Assessment System with Independent Observer Verification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current information security management systems rely on manual or tool-based evaluations and hired hackers, which lack credibility and fail to effectively analyze real hacking behaviors and approaches, leading to ineffective pre-caution schemes.
Innovation Solution
A system involving a hacker end, observer end, and manager end, with a monitoring and control server, where a hacker conducts real-world hacking exercises, an observer monitors, and a manager generates a summary report using independent reports from both, ensuring objective and effective assessment of vulnerabilities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of energy
If manual or tool-based security evaluation methods are used, then resource consumption is reduced, but the credibility and trustworthiness of assessment results deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an observer end as an intermediary that independently monitors the hacking process and generates an independent report. This observer acts as a mediator between the hacker end and the manager end, providing third-party verification that enhances credibility without requiring excessive resources. The observer end records actual hacking behaviors and approaches, creating trustworthy assessment data.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where both the hacker end and observer end submit independent reports to the manager end. The manager end then generates a comprehensive summary report that synthesizes both perspectives. This feedback loop ensures that assessment results are cross-verified and validated, significantly improving credibility while maintaining efficient resource utilization through automated processing.
2Productivity
If hired hackers are used for security assessment, then assessment coverage is improved, but the trustworthiness and objectivity of results deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the security assessment process into distinct functional ends: hacker end (conducts attacks), observer end (monitors and records), and manager end (coordinates and generates reports). This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function objectively. The observer end, being separate from the hacker end, provides independent verification that restores trustworthiness while maintaining comprehensive assessment coverage.
Solution Approach 2:
The observer end serves as an impartial intermediary that independently monitors the hacking process without participating in the actual attacks. This intermediary role ensures that the assessment process is transparent and verifiable, eliminating conflicts of interest inherent in hired hacker scenarios while preserving thorough assessment coverage through systematic observation.
3Reliability
If pre-caution schemes are implemented, then security prevention is improved, but the ability to analyze real hacking behaviors deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by setting up the observer end and monitoring framework before hacking exercises commence. This preliminary preparation enables the system to capture authentic hacking behaviors in real-time without interfering with the actual attack processes. The pre-configured observation infrastructure ensures both security prevention measures are in place and real hacking behaviors are accurately recorded for analysis.
Solution Approach 2:
The observer end acts as an intermediary that passively monitors and records hacking activities without interfering with the actual attack processes. This intermediary observation capability allows the system to maintain security prevention measures while simultaneously capturing genuine hacking behaviors and approaches for detailed analysis, resolving the contradiction between prevention and accurate behavior analysis.

AI summary
A system for managing information security attack and defense planning includes a hacker end, an observer end, and a manager end. The hacker end conducts a real-word hacking exercise to hack a targeted website through a monitoring and control server. The observer end monitors the hacker end. The manager end provides an analysis platform communicatively connected to the monitoring and control server. The hacker end and the observer end generate a first independent report and a second independent report respectively according to logged information during the real-world hacking exercise and respectively transmit the first independent report and the second independent report to the analysis platform through the targeted institution for analysis, allowing the manager end to generate a summary report including flaws and vulnerabilities in information security and transmit the summary report to the targeted institution for the targeted institution to objectively and effectively assess the summary report.
