Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information sharing systems lack effective mechanisms to evaluate the reliability of information provided by different parties, leading to potential inefficiencies in countermeasure processes and information utilization.
Innovation Solution
An information management system that calculates a reliability level and confidence level for information received from different parties, determines countermeasure processes based on these levels, and updates reliability levels based on the effectiveness of the countermeasures.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If information is shared between organizations, then cybersecurity effectiveness is improved, but information reliability and processing effectiveness deteriorate due to lack of evaluation mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where the reliability level of information providers is dynamically updated based on the effectiveness of countermeasure processes. After executing countermeasures, the system evaluates their effectiveness and uses this feedback to adjust the reliability level, creating a closed-loop system that continuously improves information quality and processing effectiveness.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual evaluation mechanisms with an automated computational system that calculates reliability levels and confidence levels through mathematical formulations. The system automatically processes information, evaluates effectiveness, and updates reliability levels without human intervention, improving both reliability and processing efficiency.
2Productivity
If countermeasure processes are executed based on shared information, then cybersecurity response is improved, but the ability to utilize information effectively deteriorates due to lack of confidence assessment
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the confidence level assigned to information based on the reliability level of the information provider and the effectiveness of executed countermeasures. This dynamic adjustment allows the system to adapt its information utilization strategy in real-time, improving both response speed and effectiveness.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of confidence level based on the reliability level and countermeasure effectiveness. By modifying this parameter dynamically, the system optimizes its information processing decisions, ensuring that high-reliability information receives priority treatment while low-reliability information is handled with appropriate caution.
3Productivity
If reliability level updates are implemented, then information processing effectiveness is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The reliability level updating mechanism serves multiple functions: it evaluates information provider reliability, assesses countermeasure effectiveness, and adjusts future information processing strategies. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate evaluation systems, thereby limiting the increase in overall system complexity.

AI summary
An information management system is provided with a data processing unit that receives, from an information processing apparatus corresponding to a different party, information managed by the different party, calculates a reliability level with respect to the different party, and calculates a confidence level with respect to the information based on the received information and the calculated reliability level, a countermeasure process setting unit that, based on the calculated confidence level, determines details of a countermeasure process with respect to details indicated by the information, and a reliability level updating unit that changes the reliability level based on the details of the countermeasure process, thereby increasing the possibility of effective processing based on information obtained from a different party.
