This invention describes a computer system that automatically adjusts its security settings based on what's important to protect and what's happening around it. It uses a special kind of network, called a fuzzy causal network, to understand how different security concerns and controls affect each other. The system then evaluates various security setups to find the one that offers the best protection for the current situation and applies it.
Why it matters: Filed before the widespread adoption of advanced AI/ML techniques, the implementation of a fuzzy causal network for real-time security adaptation is far more feasible and efficient today. The increasing sophistication of cyber threats also makes dynamic, adaptive security solutions, as described, more critical than in 2013.
AI gives you a few directions you could take this. Pick one, and we check whether your version is different enough to patent, then write the filing.
