Solution Overview

Problem

Enterprise organizations face challenges in ensuring the security and resilience of their safety-critical software systems against cyberattacks, as existing security assessment structures and solutions are often inadequate or missing.

Innovation Solution

A cloud-based system that assesses and diagnoses security vulnerabilities of enterprise software applications by receiving technical and execution context attributes, and determining a security vulnerability diagnostic score to identify risks and recommend improvements.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If antivirus software and firewalls are deployed to prevent cyberattacks, then security protection is improved, but the system cannot detect and respond to unpredictable attacks in real-time

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesecurity protectionVSAvoidattack detection capability

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs security vulnerability assessment and risk scoring before attacks occur by analyzing software attributes and execution contexts in advance, enabling proactive identification of vulnerable states rather than reactive response

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors software execution contexts and compares them against known vulnerability patterns, providing feedback loops that enable real-time detection and adaptation to attack strategies

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive security assessment is performed on software applications, then security vulnerability identification is improved, but assessment time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvevulnerability identification accuracyVSAvoidassessment time

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system focuses assessment resources on specific software components and execution contexts that are most likely to contain vulnerabilities, rather than uniformly analyzing all software elements, thereby improving efficiency

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts assessment depth and scope based on risk scores and execution context attributes, allocating computational resources adaptively rather than using fixed comprehensive analysis

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If security vulnerability diagnostic scoring is implemented, then risk management capability is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improverisk management capabilityVSAvoidassessment system complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The assessment system is divided into modular components that evaluate different software attributes and execution contexts independently, then aggregate results into overall risk scores, simplifying the overall system architecture

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A method and system of selecting a software testing regimen for a software application. The method comprises receiving, at a security assessing server computing device, a Quality of Service (QoS) performance level in conjunction with a set of technical attributes of the software application, determining a security vulnerability diagnostic score for the software application based at least in part on the set of technical attributes and the QoS performance level, and selecting the software testing regimen in accordance with the QoS performance level and the security vulnerability diagnostic score.
