Solution Overview

Problem

The complexity of computer attacks is increasing, and existing threat mitigation systems struggle to effectively monitor and respond to potential exposure situations across multiple computing systems and subsystems.

Innovation Solution

A threat mitigation system that combines data from various security-relevant subsystems to form consolidated network entity data, processing it to identify potential exposure situations and autonomously execute remedial actions based on threat levels, utilizing AI/ML for enhanced detection and response.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If data from multiple security subsystems is consolidated and analyzed, then threat detection capability is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvethreat detection capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent consolidates data from multiple security subsystems (firewall, IDS/IPS, endpoint protection, etc.) into a unified threat mitigation system. This merging of previously separate security tools enables comprehensive threat detection while managing complexity through centralized architecture and standardized data processing pipelines.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The threat mitigation system performs multiple functions including data collection, consolidation, analysis, threat identification, and automated response execution. This multi-functional approach replaces multiple separate security tools with a single universal platform that handles diverse security tasks through modular components.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Loss of time

If automated remedial actions are executed, then response time is improved, but risk of false actions increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveresponse timeVSAvoidrisk of false actions

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of timeVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system executes remedial actions automatically based on pre-configured threat mitigation plans without requiring real-time human approval. Threat responses are predetermined and automated, enabling immediate action upon threat detection while maintaining reliability through careful planning and configuration of response protocols.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors and analyzes security data, comparing actual system state against known threat patterns. This feedback mechanism enables the system to distinguish between genuine threats and normal variations, reducing false positive remedial actions while maintaining rapid automated response capability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback
