Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional methods for controlling file transfers are cumbersome and inefficient, particularly when dealing with sensitive or regulated data, often resulting in unnecessary delays due to deficiencies in data monitoring and compliance with regulatory requirements.

Innovation Solution

A dynamic file exchange control system that uses machine learning to evaluate files and implement appropriate controls, such as approvals and auditing functions, before transferring files, ensuring compliance and security by holding files until all dynamic controls are fulfilled.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional methods are used to control file transfers, then regulatory compliance and data security can be maintained, but the transfer process becomes cumbersome and experiences unnecessary delays

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveregulatory complianceVSAvoidtransfer efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts control measures based on file characteristics. Machine learning models analyze each file to determine appropriate control levels, transitioning from static conventional controls to adaptive dynamic controls that match the actual risk profile of each file

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes control parameters based on file attributes such as content type, sensitivity level, and regulatory requirements. This allows the control mechanism to adapt its strictness according to the specific parameters of each file being transferred

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If dynamic controls are implemented for all files, then data security and compliance are improved, but system complexity and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata securityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments files into different risk categories using machine learning analysis. Instead of applying uniform complex controls to all files, the system divides files into groups and applies appropriate control levels to each segment, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining security

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The machine learning model acts as an intermediary between the file and the control system. It analyzes file characteristics and translates them into appropriate control decisions, simplifying the interaction between complex security requirements and individual files

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If machine learning evaluation is performed on each file, then appropriate dynamic controls can be identified, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary machine learning evaluation during file upload or before transfer initiation. By conducting the analysis in advance rather than during the actual transfer process, the system prepares control decisions beforehand, reducing waiting time during critical transfer operations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The machine learning model continuously learns and improves from each file evaluation. This continuous learning process reduces processing time over time as the model becomes more efficient at identifying file characteristics and appropriate controls, turning processing into a continuously improving useful action

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

AI summary

Systems for dynamically controlling file transfers are provided. In some examples, a system, may receive a request to transfer a file from a first location to a second location. Prior to transferring the file, the file may be evaluated to determine whether one or more dynamic controls should be implemented. If dynamic controls should be implemented, the file may be transferred from the first location to a file distribution control computing system until an instruction to transfer the file is executed. The system may identify one or more dynamic controls to implement based on one or more machine learning datasets. In response to implementing the dynamic controls, additional data may be received. If the additional data fulfills the one or more dynamic controls, the file may be released and an instruction to transfer the file to the second location may be generated, transmitted and/or executed. In some examples, transfer may be to multiple downstream locations.
