Dynamic Security Protocol Adjustment for Content Sensitivity
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing security methods in computing environments fail to dynamically adjust security requirements based on the sensitivity of content stored in resources, leading to inadequate protection of sensitive information.
Innovation Solution
A method that analyzes characteristics of objects with pre-assigned sensitivity scores to determine corresponding security requirements, monitors object modifications, computes new sensitivity scores, and adjusts security protocols accordingly to ensure appropriate protection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If static security protocols are applied to all resources, then security implementation is simple, but security protection is inadequate for sensitive content
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic security protocols that automatically adjust based on the sensitivity score of content. Instead of using a fixed security level for all resources, the system continuously monitors content characteristics, updates sensitivity scores, and modifies security protocols accordingly. This allows the system to maintain strong protection for sensitive data while reducing security overhead for less sensitive content.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes security parameters (such as access control levels, encryption requirements, and monitoring intensity) based on the sensitivity score calculated from content characteristics. By linking security protocol parameters to content sensitivity parameters, the system achieves adaptive security that matches the actual risk level of each resource.
2Reliability
If security protocols are increased for all resources, then security protection is enhanced, but system performance and ease of operation deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different security qualities to different resources based on their sensitivity scores. High-sensitivity content receives enhanced security measures (encryption, access control, monitoring), while low-sensitivity content uses minimal security protocols. This localized approach ensures strong protection where needed without degrading overall system performance.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts security protocol intensity based on real-time sensitivity assessments. When content sensitivity scores increase, security protocols are automatically strengthened; when sensitivity decreases, protocols are relaxed. This dynamic adaptation maintains security effectiveness while preserving system productivity by avoiding unnecessary security overhead.
3Measurement precision
If manual security assessment is performed, then security accuracy is high, but time consumption and operational complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-assessment of content sensitivity by automatically analyzing content characteristics and calculating sensitivity scores without requiring manual intervention. The system monitors content changes, updates its own sensitivity assessments, and adjusts security protocols autonomously, eliminating the time-consuming manual assessment process while maintaining high accuracy through automated content analysis.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors content characteristics and uses this feedback to update sensitivity scores and adjust security protocols. This closed-loop feedback mechanism enables the system to maintain accurate sensitivity assessments in real-time without requiring manual re-evaluation, significantly reducing the time needed for security assessment while preserving measurement precision.

AI summary
Taking security actions according to calculated sensitivity levels of objects. Sensitivity levels are determined according to learned security measures taken on objects having certain content. Security actions are taken upon determining that an object in view of recently added content has an actionable sensitivity level. Additional considerations apply to baseline aspects of the object as well as ongoing changes to the baseline considerations.
