Title: Wayne Anthony Morrison and His Patent for Network-Edge Security

Introduction

Wayne Anthony Morrison is an inventor associated with Bristol, Great Britain. His patent work addresses a cybersecurity challenge: identifying malicious or probing requests before they trigger costly interactions with a protected application.

Latest Patents

Morrison is associated with 1 patent, titled “Intercepting Worthless Requests at the Network Edge Using Machine Learning.” The invention uses an identity gateway positioned at the network edge to screen requests seeking an authorized session. Before an authentication or authorization process begins, a machine-learning classifier evaluates request features and produces a score estimating whether the request is “worthless,” meaning malicious or probing. The gateway compares that score with a threshold and can limit qualifying requests at the edge, preventing them from initiating authorization or consuming protected-application resources.

Career Highlights

Morrison is associated with Ping Identity International, Inc. His patent reflects an approach to application security that moves request screening closer to the network boundary, potentially reducing unnecessary processing by protected systems.

Collaborations

The supplied information identifies Guillaume Rene Sauthier and Raminder Kaler as Morrison’s coworkers. It does not specify their roles in the patent or whether they collaborated on the invention.

Conclusion

Wayne Anthony Morrison’s patent applies machine learning at the network edge to help distinguish potentially harmful requests before they consume application resources.
