Geographical Threat Response Prioritization Mapping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current response systems for computer-originated attacks and cyber threats require extensive manual efforts to correlate threat information with GPS data, leading to delayed response times and inefficient resource allocation, as they lack real-time geographical mapping and status updates.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for geographic mapping of threats using a combination of threat, call detail record, and location databases to visually represent threat locations on a map, allowing for timely resource allocation and response prioritization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If manual review of TCP/IP switch logs, call data records, and advanced intelligent network logs is performed to locate threats, then threat information can be correlated with physical locations, but response time is dramatically reduced due to extensive manual efforts
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical review processes with automated electronic data processing. The system automatically correlates TCP/IP switch logs, call data records, and advanced intelligent network logs with GPS location data using computerized algorithms, eliminating the need for manual review while maintaining location accuracy and significantly reducing response time.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a mapping system as an intermediary that automatically correlates threat data from multiple sources (TCP/IP logs, call data records, intelligent network logs) with GPS location information. This intermediary system processes and integrates data from various databases to generate automated geographic maps showing threat locations, replacing the manual correlation process.
2Loss of information
If manual drawing of network maps is performed to visualize threat locations, then geographical views of threats can be created, but time and resources are consumed in the mapping process
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual map drawing with automated electronic mapping. The system uses computerized algorithms to process location data from multiple databases and automatically generates geographic maps displaying threat locations, eliminating the time-consuming manual drawing process while providing comprehensive geographical visualization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates automated digital copies of geographical information by extracting location data from TCP/IP logs, call data records, and intelligent network logs, then generating electronic map representations. These digital maps serve as accurate copies of the threat landscape, providing visual information without requiring manual creation efforts.
3Ease of operation
If sequential or business prioritization order is used to mitigate intrusions while manual efforts are undertaken, then resources can be allocated, but management cannot easily identify geographical locations of threats or access real-time status updates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism that continuously updates the mapping system with new threat data and response status information. The system automatically correlates incoming threat data with location information and updates geographic maps in real-time, providing management with current status information while maintaining resource allocation capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms static manual mapping processes into dynamic automated systems. The mapping system continuously processes new data from TCP/IP logs, call data records, and intelligent network logs, automatically updating geographic visualizations to reflect current threat locations and response status, enabling real-time monitoring and decision-making.
Data Source
AI summary
Systems and methods for mapping threats (or vulnerabilities to attacks) based on a correlation of location data, such as wireless location data or a physical location, with an network address associated with a threat are provided. In one aspect, methods and systems include receiving threat data, retrieving location data, correlating the threat data with the location data to create map data, and generating a map, based on the map data, displaying a geographical location of the threat. Threat locations may be determined for wired and wireless telecommunications systems.
