NETWORK CONTROL APPARATUS, NETWORK SYSTEM, NETWORK CONTROL METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18039208 titled 'NETWORK CONTROL APPARATUS, NETWORK SYSTEM, NETWORK CONTROL METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a network control apparatus that is designed to control a node within a network. The apparatus includes a collecting unit to gather data about the node, a calculating unit to determine a security index based on the collected data, and a determining unit to assign a zone to the node based on the calculated security index.
- The network control apparatus is used to control a node in a network.
- A collecting unit is responsible for gathering data about the node.
- A calculating unit determines a security index for the node based on the collected data.
- A determining unit assigns a zone to the node based on the calculated security index.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various scenarios, including:
- Network security management systems
- Internet of Things (IoT) networks
- Industrial control systems
- Smart city infrastructure
- Cloud computing environments
Problems Solved
The network control apparatus addresses the following problems:
- Lack of efficient control over nodes in a network
- Inadequate security measures for network nodes
- Difficulty in identifying and categorizing threats in a network
- Inefficient allocation of resources for network security
Benefits
The use of this technology offers several benefits, such as:
- Enhanced control and management of network nodes
- Improved security measures for network nodes
- Efficient identification and categorization of threats in a network
- Optimal allocation of resources for network security
