Project Silos for Secure Resource Allocation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems face inefficiencies in resource allocation across multiple operations, leading to redundant resource usage and security challenges in managing and accessing sensitive information, particularly in cybersecurity operations.
Innovation Solution
A computing platform configures project silos with operation-level, project-level, and application-level information, generates project tags, and uses an operation optimization model to determine access permissions and optimize resource management by merging, creating, or removing project silos based on usage patterns.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple projects are created to execute operations with distinct resource sets, then operational flexibility and security are improved, but resource allocation efficiency deteriorates due to redundant resource usage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple project silos that share common resources into consolidated resource pools. The system identifies projects using the same resources and combines their resource allocations, eliminating redundancy while maintaining project boundaries. This allows efficient resource sharing across multiple projects while preserving security through controlled access permissions at the project level.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates universal resource pools that can serve multiple projects simultaneously. Instead of dedicating exclusive resources to each project, the system establishes shared resource repositories that function across multiple projects. Access control mechanisms ensure that each project can only utilize its authorized resources, maintaining security while improving overall resource utilization efficiency.
2Reliability
If access restrictions are implemented to protect sensitive cybersecurity information, then information security is improved, but operational efficiency deteriorates due to complex access management
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments access permissions into hierarchical levels: project-level, resource-level, and user-level permissions. This segmentation allows fine-grained access control where users receive permissions based on their specific project needs rather than blanket access. The segmented permission structure simplifies access management by automatically granting appropriate rights without manual configuration for each access scenario.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements self-service access management where the system automatically determines and grants appropriate access permissions based on user roles, project requirements, and resource classifications. Instead of requiring manual permission requests and approvals for every access scenario, the system autonomously evaluates access needs and configures permissions, reducing operational overhead while maintaining security protocols.
3Loss of information
If project silos are created for each operation instance, then security and tracking are improved, but system complexity increases due to multiple separate project structures
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a nested hierarchical structure where projects are nested within organizations, resources are nested within projects, and users are nested within projects with role-based permissions. This nested architecture provides clear tracking and accountability at each level while avoiding the complexity of completely separate project structures. The nesting allows automatic inheritance of permissions and metadata, reducing configuration overhead.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms that automatically track resource usage across projects and provide insights for optimization. The system monitors resource allocation patterns, project performance, and access patterns, then uses this feedback to automatically adjust resource pooling strategies and permission configurations. This feedback loop reduces system complexity by enabling automated optimization rather than manual management of complex project structures.
