Virtual Security Agent Monitoring for Low-Latency Anomaly Tracing

The patent segments the network into multiple monitoring zones with distributed VSAs instead of using a single centralized monitoring point. Each VSA monitors a specific segment of the network, allowing parallel processing of multiple wireless devices simultaneously. This segmentation enables the system to maintain high detection accuracy across the entire network while reducing the time required to identify anomaly sources in any given segment.

The patent implements preliminary actions by proactively placing VSAs at optimal locations in the network before anomalies occur. The system pre-configures monitoring points and establishes baseline behavior patterns for wireless devices. When anomalies do occur, the pre-positioned VSAs can immediately begin investigation without the delay of deploying monitoring resources, thus maintaining both detection accuracy and fast response time for ULLC applications.

The patent applies local quality by deploying VSAs with specialized monitoring capabilities at specific network locations rather than uniformly applying the same security appliance to all devices. Each VSA is strategically positioned and configured to monitor particular types of traffic or devices based on local network conditions and risk profiles. This approach ensures comprehensive monitoring coverage while optimizing resource consumption by avoiding redundant monitoring efforts across the entire network.

The patent implements partial action by having VSAs focus their monitoring efforts on specific subsets of wireless devices that are suspected or likely to be involved in anomalies, rather than continuously monitoring all devices with equal intensity. The system dynamically adjusts the scope and depth of monitoring based on detected patterns and threat levels, applying intensive monitoring only where necessary while maintaining lighter monitoring elsewhere, thus achieving comprehensive coverage with optimized resource usage.
