Solution Overview

Problem

Large organizations face challenges in enhancing information security and educating employees, contractors, and affiliates on best practices for handling sensitive information, as existing methods may not be scalable or effective in continuously improving security awareness and practices.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of an information passport dashboard that provides a dynamic and personalized platform for users to engage in educational activities, with a scoring system that incentivizes positive interactions and penalizes negative occurrences, dynamically weighting training courses based on their effectiveness and user preferences, and offering tailored learning experiences.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional information security education methods are used, then employees can receive basic training, but the scalability and effectiveness of continuous security awareness improvement is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity awareness improvement efficiencyVSAvoidpersonalization capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-calculates and stores optimal content recommendations for different user profiles and scenarios. When a user logs in, the dashboard instantly presents personalized learning paths and security content without requiring real-time computation, enabling both scalability and personalization simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates digital copies of security training content in multiple formats (interactive modules, videos, quizzes, gamified elements) that can be dynamically assembled and delivered to different users based on their preferences and performance needs, enhancing both effectiveness and adaptability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Adaptability or versatility

If a static scoring system is used, then implementation is simple, but it cannot dynamically adapt to user behavior and preferences

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedynamic adaptation capabilityVSAvoidscoring system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The dashboard implements continuous feedback loops where user interactions with security content, quiz performances, and behavioral patterns are tracked and fed back into the scoring algorithm. This dynamically adjusts the information security score and personalizes future content recommendations, achieving adaptability through systematic feedback mechanisms

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The scoring system transitions from static to dynamic by incorporating real-time user behavior data, preference information, and performance metrics. The dashboard continuously updates the information security score based on changing user patterns, making the system adaptable without requiring complex manual reconfiguration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Reliability

If comprehensive security training content is provided, then security awareness can be improved, but user engagement and preference alignment may decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity protection levelVSAvoiduser engagement
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The dashboard delivers security training content with local quality by tailoring the depth, format, and complexity of security information to each user's specific role, department, risk profile, and demonstrated knowledge. Critical security concepts are emphasized for high-risk users while providing customized learning paths that maintain engagement without sacrificing security awareness effectiveness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for enhancing information security using an information passport dashboard are presented. In one or more embodiments, a computing platform may receive, from a user computing device, a request for an information passport dashboard. Subsequently, the computing platform may load a listing of available dashboard content items from an information passport database. Then, the computing platform may select content items from the listing of available dashboard content items to promote one or more content items to the user of the user computing device based on user preferences information and further based on aggregate usage information. Thereafter, the computing platform may generate an information passport dashboard interface that includes information identifying the content items selected from the listing of available dashboard content items for the user of the user computing device. The computing platform then may send, to the user computing device, the information passport dashboard interface.
