MUMBAI, India, Feb. 27 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641018777 A) filed by SR University, Warangal, Telangana, on Feb. 19, for 'cognitive digital twin-driven cyber defense system for proactive threat simulation and asset vulnerability identification.'

Inventor(s) include A. Pavani; and Dr. Vivek Kumar Dhimole.

The application for the patent was published on Feb. 27, under issue no. 09/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The proposed invention exposes a Cognitive Digital Twin-based cyber defense system to preventive simulation of threats and detect the vulnerability of assets. It comprises of a Physical Asset Ingestion Layer utilizing kernel-level eBPF probes to record real-time telemetry and of the State Synchronization Engine which maintaining a high-fidelity representation of the network infrastructure in a Digital Twin Graph Database. It is a system where a Cognitive Simulation Layer is used that includes deep reinforcement learning agents that autonomously simulate adversarial intent and locate lateral movement paths. The Shadow Patching and Validation Module is one of such innovations that allows testing the security updates within the virtual environment to achieve the effectiveness of defences and the stability of operation in the real-life circumstances before the actual deployment. The invention will bring asset dependency mapping by a graph in conjunction with automatic remediation orchestration to make the cybersecurity not a reactive position, but a self-corrective, predictive system of governance, which will significantly reduce the window of vulnerability not just to known attacks but also to synthetic zero-day attacks."
