Fractionalized Cybersecurity Intelligence Access Platform
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current cybersecurity intelligence content access methods provide uniform access durations, leading to inefficient resource utilization and increased costs for users and platforms, as they often require dedicating resources for potential heavy usage, even if actual usage is low.
Innovation Solution
A computing platform offering fractionalized access to cybersecurity intelligence content, allowing users to select from various access options based on query quantities and time durations, and providing a centralized interface to manage multiple content sources, simplifying access and resource allocation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If uniform access duration is provided to all users, then access simplicity is improved, but resource utilization efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the uniform access duration into multiple fractional access levels (e.g., 1000 queries, 5000 queries, 10000 queries). Users can select the specific access level that matches their actual needs, transforming a single uniform access model into multiple granular options that improve resource utilization while maintaining operational simplicity through standardized tiers.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of access duration from a fixed uniform value to multiple variable fractional values. By offering different query quantity tiers and time duration options, the system allows users to adjust access parameters according to their specific needs, thereby improving resource utilization efficiency without significantly complicating the access process.
2Reliability
If resources are allocated for potential heavy usage, then access reliability is improved, but resource allocation cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by offering fractional access levels that match actual usage needs rather than allocating full resources to all users. Users can select the minimum necessary access level (e.g., 1000 queries for light users) instead of being forced to allocate resources for heavy usage scenarios, thereby maintaining access reliability for each user's actual needs while reducing overall resource allocation costs.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes resource allocation from a fixed high-capacity allocation to variable fractional allocations based on user selection. By offering multiple tiers of access levels and time durations, the system allows resources to be dynamically adjusted to match actual demand, ensuring reliability for each user's specific needs while optimizing total resource utilization and reducing waste.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple content sources are accessed individually, then access flexibility is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple individual content source access interfaces into a single unified platform. Users can access multiple cybersecurity intelligence content sources through one integrated system that provides fractionalized access control, eliminating the need to manage separate access credentials and interfaces for each content source while maintaining the flexibility to access diverse content types.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal access platform that handles multiple content sources through a single interface with standardized fractional access levels. The system provides multi-functional capabilities including query-based access, time-based access, and tiered content access across different content sources, reducing system complexity by consolidating what would otherwise require multiple separate access systems.
Data Source
AI summary
A computing system and a method performed by the computing system are presented. The system may provide a cybersecurity analysis platform, and the method may include outputting a plurality of content access options for selection by a user or group of users of the platform, wherein the content access options are associated with different amounts of content access to a cybersecurity intelligence content source. The method may further involve receiving a selection of one of the content access options, and updating, based on the selection, a profile that indicates an amount of content access allocated to the user or group of users. The method may involve receiving a content request from the user or group of users for cybersecurity intelligence content, and responding to the content requested based on whether the allocated amount of content access has been completely depleted.
