Intellectual Property India Publishes Patent Application for 'Intelligent Edge Device For Real-Time Behavioral Malware Detection And Automatic Network Isolation In Local Computer Networks' Filed by Dr. Purushottam R Patil; Bhausaheb Suresh Salve; Pradip Prabhakar Ghorpade; and Mit Art Design Technology University

MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621042617 A) filed by Dr. Purushottam R Patil; Bhausaheb Suresh Salve; Pradip Prabhakar Ghorpade; and Mit Art Design Technology University, Nashik, Maharashtra, on April 2, for 'intelligent edge device for real-time behavioral malware detection and automatic network isolation in local computer networks.'

Inventor(s) include Dr. Purushottam R Patil; Bhausaheb Suresh Salve; Pradip Prabhakar Ghorpade; and Mit Art Design Technology University.

The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses an intelligent edge device for real-time detection and automatic isolation of malware within local computer networks using behavioral analysis techniques. The system is designed to enhance network security by monitoring device behavior, analyzing network traffic patterns, and identifying anomalies that may indicate malicious activity. The device operates at the network edge and continuously collects data related to communication patterns, packet flow characteristics, and system interactions among network nodes. A behavioral analysis engine establishes baseline activity models for normal network behavior. Machine learning-based anomaly detection algorithms are employed to identify deviations from these baseline patterns. When suspicious behavior indicative of malware activity is detected, a threat assessment mechanism evaluates the severity of the anomaly and assigns a risk score. If the risk level exceeds a predetermined threshold, the system automatically initiates containment procedures. The containment mechanism isolates the compromised device by restricting network communication, blocking IP addresses, or modifying firewall rules. This prevents malware from spreading to other devices within the network. The invention significantly reduces detection latency by performing analysis locally at the network edge. The system provides automated alerts, security logs, and threat reports to assist network administrators in monitoring and managing network security. The proposed solution offers an efficient and scalable approach for proactive malware detection and containment in modern computer networks."
