US 11,310,263 B1 · Rogue foothold network defense

Abstract

The innovation disclosed and claimed herein, in one aspect thereof, comprises systems and methods of reconfiguring network settings. The systems and methods monitor a network and detect a hacker on a network. The systems and methods can reconfigure network settings of the network upon detecting the hacker. The systems and methods can analyze the hack for severity; and determine a reconfiguration layer based on the severity of the hack. The reconfiguration layer determines a subset of the network settings to be reconfigured. The systems and methods can dismantle the network and generate a replacement network having the reconfigured set of network settings and replace the network with the replacement network.

A method, comprising:

detecting a foothold event at a first network segment, wherein the first network segment includes a set of network settings;
analyzing the foothold event upon detecting the foothold event;
determining a severity score based on the analysis of the foothold event;
comparing the severity score to two or more score tiers;
matching the severity score to one score tier of the two or more score tiers based on the comparison;
determining a reconfiguration layer based on the matched score tier;
reconfiguring at least part of the set of network settings of the first network segment based on the determined reconfiguration layer;
and
generating a second network segment having the reconfigured set of network settings that replaces the first network segment.
