Intellectual Property India Publishes Patent Application for Hardware-Integrated Adaptive Cyber Threat Detection And Network Enforcement System Using Temporal Knowledge Graphs And Software-Defined Networking

MUMBAI, India, Oct. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641123915 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology on October 16, 2026, for Hardware-Integrated Adaptive Cyber Threat Detection And Network Enforcement System Using Temporal Knowledge Graphs And Software-Defined Networking.

Inventors include Suresh A; Goureesankar S Nair; Saniya Mazumder; and Adarsh Tripathi.

The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.

Abstract: Abstract The present invention relates to a cyber-security system for adaptive protection of a computer network using programmable network switching hardware. The system receives security events from network devices and maintains a security knowledge graph comprising network entities and typed relationships having associated confidence weights. A behavioural analysis subsystem determines temporal sequence confidence, contextual behavioural deviation, and cumulative temporal risk for monitored entities. A network control decision engine generates a structured security decision comprising a threat score, confidence value, and asset criticality tier. A policy engine maps the decision to a graduated enforcement tier and, through a Software-Defined Networking controller, causes corresponding modifications to programmable switches, including traffic mirroring, hardware rate limiting, VLAN isolation, or packet dropping. The system further provides incremental subgraph extraction for bounded-time supply of relational context and automatic calibration of enforcement parameters using confirmed enforcement outcomes. High-impact isolation or quarantine actions directed to designated critical assets are structurally prevented unless an operator confirmation signal is received. The invention thereby provides adaptive, graduated, and feedback-driven network containment in which security determinations directly modify packet-forwarding behaviour while maintaining protection of critical network assets.
