GraphnAI Files Two Additional Patent Applications for Identity Risk Scoring and Delegation Posture Analysis
GraphnAI, Inc. today announced the filing of two provisional patent applications expanding its intellectual property portfolio to four pending patents. Application No. 64/021,335 covers multi-factor identity risk prioritization with criticality-asymmetric scoring, a novel approach that weights risk by the gap between an identity's criticality and the criticality of the assets it can reach. Application No. 64/021,373 covers identity delegation posture analysis with progressive access control entry classification, addressing the most common and least-detected misconfiguration in enterprise Active Directory environments. The filings build on GraphnAI's existing patent portfolio covering Tiered Fidelity evidence grading and Identity Folding edge consolidation.
GraphnAI Files Patent Application for Identity Folding™ Edge Consolidation and Severity Weighting
GraphnAI, Inc. today announced the filing of a provisional patent application (No. 63/988,969) covering its Identity Folding and Access Gravity technologies. Identity Folding consolidates millions of individual permission entries between identity objects into composite relationships, reducing graph complexity by 10-100x while preserving full permission detail. Access Gravity assigns severity weights to each permission type based on real-world attack impact, ensuring that dangerous permissions always surface ahead of benign ones regardless of count. The technologies are core components of the GraphnAI platform.
GraphnAI Founded to Close the Identity Security Remediation Gap
GraphnAI, Inc. today announced its founding and the filing of its first provisional patent application (No. 63/947,322) covering the Tiered Fidelity Model and Select Fire remediation workflow. Founded by 27-year cybersecurity veteran Josh M. Bryant, GraphnAI is building the GraphnAI platform to bridge the gap between identity risk visibility and safe, automated remediation. The Tiered Fidelity Model separates theoretical access paths from validated ones using three evidence tiers, while Select Fire provides granular remediation control with Safe, Semi-Auto, and Full-Auto execution modes. Bryant previously co-created Tanium's Impact module, led Microsoft's Compromise Recovery practice, and is a named inventor on US Patent 11,831,670.
