Digital Security Violation Response Through Automated Credential Remediation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems fail to effectively mitigate the impact of digital security violations on user accounts by automatically updating credentials and reducing damage through automated scripts that mimic user operations.
Innovation Solution
A digital security violation system that identifies compromised user accounts, launches automated scripts to access and update credentials on multiple third-party systems, and performs remedial operations such as altering payment options, using natural language processing to detect violations and machine learning to generate scripts.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If automated scripts are used to update user credentials across multiple third-party systems, then security response effectiveness is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary system that acts as a mediator between the security breach detection and the credential update process across multiple third-party systems. This intermediary automates the response by launching scripts that mimic user operations to update credentials, thereby improving security response effectiveness while managing system complexity through centralized automation rather than direct complex interactions with each third-party system.
2Reliability
If multiple automated scripts are launched to access and update credentials on different third-party systems, then security coverage is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-configuring automated scripts for each third-party system that may require credential updates. When a security breach is detected, these pre-prepared scripts are immediately launched to mimic user operations and update credentials across multiple systems simultaneously. This approach improves security coverage by ensuring all necessary systems are addressed while reducing processing time through automation rather than manual sequential updates.
3Measurement precision
If natural language processing is used to detect digital security violations by crawling news websites, then detection accuracy is improved, but computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by using natural language processing selectively on news headlines and articles that are likely to contain security violation information. Rather than processing all news content uniformly, the system crawls news websites and applies NLP to identify relevant security breaches, thereby improving detection accuracy for actual threats while reducing computational resources by focusing processing power on pertinent information rather than all news content.

AI summary
A computing system determines that a third party system has been exposed to a digital security violation. The computing system identifies a first user account of a user registered with the computing system that has a corresponding account associated with the third party system. The computing system determines that the first user account has stored a first set of user credentials for the corresponding account associated with the third party system at a storage location accessible by the computing system. The computing system launches a series of web browsers configured to access a first website associated with the third party system. The computing system executes, via a first web browser of the series of web browsers, a first automated script specific to the first website associated with the third party system. The computing system performs at least one of a plurality of remedial operations with respect to the corresponding account.
