Security Escrow Access Control for Real-Time Compliance Enforcement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Large organizations face challenges in efficiently, effectively, and securely managing access to their computer systems, particularly when exchanging information with external systems, due to the complexity of their operations and the difficulty in identifying and preventing network security issues.
Innovation Solution
A third-party security escrow system that uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to monitor and enforce network security policies in real-time, providing dynamic updates and visual indicators to ensure compliance, enabling or disabling access based on enterprise network standards, and offering automated risk assessment and policy management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual security compliance monitoring is used across multiple enterprise networks, then security policies can be enforced, but the complexity of managing access across many computer systems increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a security escrow service computing system as an intermediary between enterprise networks and third-party computing systems. This mediator automatically monitors compliance, manages access flags, and enforces security policies across multiple networks, eliminating the need for manual management while maintaining reliable security compliance.
Solution Approach 2:
The security escrow service enables third-party computing systems to self-register and self-demonstrate compliance by uploading security artifacts. The system automatically evaluates compliance based on uploaded information and adjusts access permissions accordingly, reducing manual intervention and simplifying management complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If third-party computing systems are granted access to enterprise networks, then product and service functionality is enhanced, but the difficulty of detecting and measuring security compliance issues increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors compliance status of third-party computing systems and provides real-time feedback through access flags. When compliance issues are detected, the system automatically adjusts access permissions and notifies relevant parties, making compliance detection and measurement straightforward through automated feedback mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual compliance detection and measurement processes with automated computational methods. The security escrow service uses algorithms to evaluate compliance artifacts, analyze security configurations, and determine access permissions automatically, eliminating the difficulty of manual detection and measurement.
3Reliability
If security compliance is manually verified for each third-party system, then security standards are maintained, but the time required for access management increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary compliance verification by evaluating security artifacts and configurations before granting access to third-party computing systems. Compliance status is determined in advance and stored, allowing rapid access decisions without repeated manual verification, thus maintaining security standards while reducing access management time.
Solution Approach 2:
Third-party computing systems automatically upload security compliance artifacts and configurations to the security escrow service. The system self-evaluates compliance status and receives automatic access permissions based on pre-established security policies, eliminating time-consuming manual verification processes while maintaining reliable security standard enforcement.
Data Source
AI summary
Various aspects of the disclosure relate to enforcing dynamically updated network security policies in real-time (or upon an identified update) from multiple organizations and anonymously analyze computing system configuration information uploaded from third-party computing systems. An analysis engine monitors compliance information and compare the compliance information against the security rules and/or requirements for one or more enterprise networks. A visualization providing a network map with a visual representation of each product system service system may include communication links between internal applications and/or computing systems and drill-down capability to identify issues as they are occurring or are predicted to occur. The security escrow system may include a mechanism to automatically enable/disable access between third party networks and one or more enterprise computing systems in real-time based on identified compliance information.
