Hawaii Patent of the Month – September 2024
Resurgo LLC, a defense network and software engineering firm, is pioneering a transformative approach to enhance cyber defense through advanced sensor technology utilizing machine learning models. Their innovative process is designed to address the critical vulnerabilities in computer networks that hackers exploit. By integrating real-time anomaly detection techniques, Resurgo’s system dynamically assesses the fit of machine learning models against live network traffic, which includes both legitimate activities and potential cyber attacks.
The patented process involves several key steps. First, sensors are strategically installed within the network to monitor traffic continuously. By applying sophisticated methods of anomaly detection, the system evaluates how closely current traffic aligns with previously established training data. This allows for the identification of any discrepancies that may signal an intrusion. When the system detects that a model may be overfitting—i.e., not accurately reflecting the current network environment—it triggers a retraining mechanism. This ensures the model evolves alongside the network, adapting to new types of attacks.
The process incorporates the generation of obfuscated attack samples, enriching the training data and fortifying the models against evasion techniques commonly employed by cybercriminals. By simulating various attack vectors and their adaptations, Resurgo’s technology enhances the robustness of intrusion detection capabilities.
In essence, this innovation not only strengthens network security but also sets a new standard for machine learning applications in cybersecurity. Resurgo is at the forefront of creating adaptive defenses that not only respond to known threats but are also capable of anticipating and mitigating novel, sophisticated cyber threats. This proactive stance in cybersecurity exemplifies the future of network defense, where continuous learning and adaptation become paramount in safeguarding digital environments.
