VIRTUAL ENCAPSULATED INSTANCES FOR MITIGATION OF CYBERATTACKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18300802 titled 'VIRTUAL ENCAPSULATED INSTANCES FOR MITIGATION OF CYBERATTACKS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for mitigating cyberattacks by responding to detected attacks on a system, identifying compromised software components, simulating risks associated with these components, encapsulating them in a secure environment, and redirecting malicious network traffic to this environment.
- Responding to verification of a detected attack on a system
- Detecting modifications to software components made by malicious network traffic
- Identifying the malicious network traffic
- Determining compromised software components
- Performing digital twin simulation to evaluate risks
- Creating an encapsulated environment
- Provisioning software components to encapsulate
- Redirecting malicious network traffic to the encapsulated environment
