Detection & Telemetry
What SecureOps Monitors
SecureOps collects signals from AI systems, identity providers, cloud infrastructure, and applications to enable continuous control evaluation.
Signal Sources
Telemetry Categories
SecureOps monitors four primary categories of signals within defined engagement scope.
AI Runtime Signals
Signals collected from AI system operations including model inference, prompt processing, and tool usage.
- Prompt content and metadata
- Model responses and completions
- Tool and function invocations
- Context window contents
- Token usage and rate patterns
- Error and exception events
Identity & Access Signals
Authentication and authorization events across identity providers and access management systems.
- Authentication events (success/failure)
- Session creation and termination
- Role and permission changes
- Privileged access activations
- Access review completions
- MFA enrollment and usage
Cloud & Application Signals
Events from cloud infrastructure, SaaS applications, and production environments.
- Cloud provider audit logs
- Infrastructure configuration changes
- Network flow and firewall events
- Application security events
- API access patterns
- Resource provisioning and deletion
Data Movement Signals
Tracking data flows, transfers, and boundary crossings across systems and environments.
- Data transfer events
- Storage access patterns
- Cross-boundary data flows
- Export and download events
- Data classification markers
- Encryption status changes
Telemetry Collection Principles
SecureOps telemetry collection operates strictly within defined engagement scope and respects organizational boundaries. Collection is purposeful, documented, and aligned with control objectives.
Each signal source is explicitly defined in the engagement scope. SecureOps does not collect signals from systems outside the defined boundary, and all collection activities are logged for audit purposes.
Collection Governance
- Scope-bounded: All telemetry sources explicitly defined in engagement scope
- Purpose-limited: Signals collected only for defined control objectives
- Documented: Collection activities logged with full audit trail
- Minimal: Only signals required for control evaluation collected
- Retained: Retention aligned with compliance and audit requirements
Detection Logic
How Violations Are Detected
SecureOps uses multiple detection methods to identify control violations and security anomalies.
Rule-Based Detection
Deterministic rules that match known patterns, policy violations, and explicit constraints.
- Known attack signatures
- Policy rule violations
- Configuration compliance checks
- Threshold breaches
Statistical Analysis
Baseline comparison and statistical deviation detection for behavioral anomalies.
- Baseline deviation scoring
- Volumetric anomalies
- Temporal pattern analysis
- Peer group comparison
Behavioral Patterns
Pattern recognition across multiple signals to identify complex violation scenarios.
- Multi-signal correlation
- Sequence pattern matching
- Context-aware analysis
- Historical comparison
Scope Compliance
Telemetry collection is scoped to the defined engagement boundaries. SecureOps respects engagement scope definitions and does not extend monitoring beyond explicitly authorized systems and data sources.
