  • Patent number: 11310263
    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.
