Intelligent Resource Allocation Based on Security Profile of Edge Device Network
Summary
USPTO granted Patent US12598186B2 to Bank of America Corporation covering a system for intelligent resource allocation in edge device networks using quantum computing simulations for security testing. The system includes edge devices executing computing tasks, a resource deployment subsystem for anomaly detection, and a quantum computing subsystem for executing simulated attacks across network configurations to determine security scores and optimal deployments.
What changed
USPTO issued Patent US12598186B2 titled 'Intelligent resource allocation based on security profile of edge device network' to Bank of America Corporation. The patent describes a system combining edge network management with quantum computing capabilities to simulate cyberattacks and evaluate security posture across multiple network configurations. The resource deployment subsystem detects anomalies and determines simulated attacks, while the quantum computing subsystem executes these attacks to generate security scores for different configurations, enabling optimal security-based deployment decisions.
For technology and financial services entities, this patent represents an expanding intersection of quantum computing applications in network security. Organizations developing or deploying edge computing infrastructure should consider this intellectual property when evaluating security solutions. While patent grants do not impose immediate compliance obligations, they signal competitive technology trajectories in quantum-enabled cybersecurity testing and may indicate future licensing or design-around requirements for similar systems.
What to do next
- Monitor patent portfolio for potential licensing considerations
- Review patent claims for overlap with existing or planned technology deployments

Abstract
A system includes an edge network with edge devices configured to execute computing tasks of the edge network and an edge network management system with a resource deployment subsystem and a quantum computing subsystem. The resource deployment subsystem determines properties of the edge network, detects an anomaly using the properties of the edge network, and determines one or more simulated attacks for testing the edge network. The quantum computing subsystem is configured to execute the simulated attacks in a plurality of available configurations of the edge network and determine a security score for each of the configurations. The resource deployment subsystem then determines a selected configuration based at least in part on the security score determined for each of configurations and implements the selected configuration at the edge network.
