Solution Overview

Problem

Existing cybersecurity solutions for distributed organizations face challenges in ensuring data isolation, efficiency, and performance, particularly in cloud-based systems, due to the need for separate administration interfaces, inconsistent security policies, and potential exposure of customer data across shared resources.

Innovation Solution

A hybrid approach integrating on-premise and cloud-based cybersecurity nodes, ensuring each node processes only network traffic for its assigned customer, with isolation mechanisms and on-demand scalability, allowing organizations to leverage cloud resources as needed.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If a centralized cloud-based cybersecurity system is used to provide security services to distributed customers, then resource efficiency and scalability are improved, but data isolation and security reliability deteriorate due to shared resources and potential data exposure

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveresource efficiencyVSAvoiddata isolation

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the cloud infrastructure into isolated customer environments using virtualization technologies. Each customer is allocated dedicated virtual machines, storage volumes, and network segments that are logically isolated from other customers, enabling resource sharing while maintaining strict data isolation boundaries.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces a dedicated isolation mechanism as an intermediary layer between the shared cloud infrastructure and customer data. This intermediary ensures that network traffic, data flows, and system calls are properly routed and isolated, preventing data leakage between customers while allowing efficient resource utilization.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If separate administration interfaces are provided for each customer in a distributed cybersecurity system, then customer-specific control and security policies are improved, but system complexity and operational overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecustomer-specific controlVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a universal administration interface that can serve multiple customers through a single unified console. This multi-functional interface provides customer-specific control capabilities while maintaining a consistent, simplified user experience. The same interface handles different customers' security policies, monitoring, and configuration requests without requiring separate specialized interfaces for each customer.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Adaptability or versatility

If inconsistent security policies are allowed across different customers in a distributed network, then operational flexibility and adaptability are improved, but security reliability and risk management deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveoperational flexibilityVSAvoidsecurity consistency

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements dynamic security policy management that allows each customer to define their own security requirements while maintaining overall system consistency. Policies can be dynamically adjusted based on customer-specific needs, traffic patterns, and security threats, with the system automatically propagating updates across the distributed architecture to ensure consistent enforcement.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

4Speed

If cloud-based cybersecurity nodes are deployed to improve scalability and performance, then service availability and speed are improved, but data isolation and security exposure risks worsen

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveprocessing speedVSAvoiddata exposure risk

Core Design Contradiction:

SpeedVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality isolation by providing each customer with dedicated compute instances, storage, and network resources that are physically and logically isolated at the hardware level. This ensures that high-performance cloud processing capabilities are available to each customer without creating data exposure risks through resource sharing, as each customer's data resides in its own isolated environment.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

Techniques for delivering a distributed network security service providing isolation of customer data are described. One example method includes assigning a first node in a distributed network to a first customer; assigning a second node in the distributed network to a second customer; configuring the assigned first node to process network traffic only from the first customer; configuring the assigned second node to process network traffic only from the second customer; processing, by the assigned first node, network traffic associated with the first customer; and processing, by the assigned second node, network traffic associated with the second customer, wherein the network traffic of the first customer is isolated from the network traffic of the second customer, wherein the network traffic of the customers is kept isolated from one another.
