Network Gateway Real-Time Security Remediation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current cybersecurity solutions are inadequate in responding timely and coordinately to identified security risks, often allowing significant damage to occur before actions can be taken, as they lack real-time, network-wide coordination and often require human intervention, leading to delayed responses that allow cyber attacks to penetrate and spread across endpoints, clouds, and networks.
Innovation Solution
A network gateway that gathers metadata from endpoint and network devices to identify security risks and performs real-time, granular remediation actions, such as blocking malicious processes or traffic, to mitigate threats autonomously and minimize the impact of cyber attacks.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If traditional cybersecurity solutions are used, then security monitoring can be performed, but response time is delayed due to lack of real-time coordination and human intervention requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-establishes security policies, response protocols, and coordination mechanisms before threats occur. Security rules, blocking actions, and remediation procedures are configured in advance, enabling immediate automated execution when threats are detected without requiring human decision-making during the critical response window.
Solution Approach 2:
An automated security orchestration platform acts as an intermediary between different security tools, networks, and endpoints. This mediator coordinates actions across multiple systems, translates threat intelligence into standardized responses, and enables real-time communication between security components without human intervention.
2Speed
If security remediation actions are taken quickly, then damage from cyber attacks is minimized, but coordination across network-wide devices may be insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The security orchestration platform provides universal coordination capabilities that work across diverse network devices, endpoints, clouds, and security tools. A single centralized system can simultaneously manage firewalls, endpoint protection, cloud security, and network devices using standardized protocols and unified security policies applicable across the entire network infrastructure.
Solution Approach 2:
The system segments security management into modular components that can operate independently yet coordinate through standardized interfaces. Security policies are divided into discrete rules, threats are categorized into specific types, and remediation actions are broken down into executable tasks that can be distributed to appropriate network devices and endpoints for simultaneous execution.
3Loss of time
If manual security response procedures are used, then detailed analysis can be performed, but significant damage occurs before actions can be taken
Solution Approach 1:
The security system performs self-service through automated threat detection, analysis, and remediation. The orchestration platform automatically receives threat intelligence, correlates it with security policies, determines appropriate responses, and executes remediation actions without human intervention. The system monitors its own performance and continuously improves response effectiveness through automated learning from threat patterns.

AI summary
Systems, methods, and apparatus related to network security. In one approach, various endpoint devices communicate with a network gateway and/or API mode CASB over one or more networks. All communications by the endpoint devices with remote servers and clouds pass through the network gateway (and/or by cloud service access when using an API mode CASB). The gateway and/or CASB gathers metadata from the endpoint devices and/or network devices. The metadata indicates characteristics of the communications by the endpoint devices on the networks and/or processes running on the endpoint devices. The gateway and/or CASB identifies security risks using at least the metadata, and in response dynamically performs remediation actions for one or more of the networks in real-time to limit or block propagation of a cyber attack associated with one or more of the identified security risks.
