Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems lack an efficient method to automatically and reversibly distribute data across a distributed network to mitigate the effects of computing system breaches.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If data is distributed across multiple computing devices to mitigate breach effects, then data security and reliability are improved, but system complexity and data management overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides datasets into multiple partial data packets and distributes them across different computing devices in the network. Each device stores only a portion of the original data, so that if one device is breached, the complete dataset remains secure. This segmentation approach directly improves data security while managing complexity through automated packetization algorithms.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a network coordinator system that manages the distribution, tracking, and reassembly of data packets across multiple devices. This intermediary component handles the complexity of distributed data management, allowing individual devices to operate independently while maintaining overall system coherence through automated coordination protocols.
2Speed
If data is automatically distributed throughout the network to respond to breaches, then response speed and breach mitigation effectiveness are improved, but network traffic overhead and energy consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent pre-distributes data packets across the network before breaches occur, establishing a ready-state distributed data architecture. When a breach is detected, the system can immediately begin the recall and reassembly process without needing to first distribute data, thereby reducing response time while minimizing unnecessary network traffic during normal operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic data packet distribution that adapts to network conditions and breach threats. The system adjusts the level of data distribution and recall operations based on real-time network status and detected threat levels, optimizing the balance between rapid response capability and energy-efficient normal operation through condition-based activation of distribution protocols.
3Reliability
If data packets are divided and distributed to different devices, then breach impact is reduced, but data reassembly complexity and time requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the network coordinator continuously monitors the status of distributed data packets across devices and automatically triggers recall operations when breaches are detected. The system tracks packet locations and integrity, providing real-time feedback that enables efficient reassembly by knowing exactly which packets are available and their current status, thereby reducing reassembly time despite the distributed architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the state of data packets from static distributed storage to dynamic recallable entities. When breaches are detected, the system transforms the data distribution parameter from a permanent distributed state to a temporary recall state, where packets are automatically retrieved and reassembled. This parameter change enables the system to maintain breach impact reduction while minimizing reassembly time through automated state transitions.

AI summary
A system is provided for remediating computing system breaches by reversibly distributing data to a plurality of edge points in a distributed network. In particular, the system may intelligently track network data to predict breach vector pathways and may track various types of network traffic data for computing systems within the network. Based on the network traffic data, the system may generate a network topology, mapping the various types of network connections across the computing systems in the network environment as well as the datasets that were transferred across such connections. In the event of a system breach, the system may divide each dataset into a plurality of partial data packets. The system may transmit each partial data packet to a different user device or computing device in the network. After the breach is remediated, the system may recall the individual data packets and reassemble the datasets for future use.
