Automated monitoring for attempted security breaches

Purpose

1.1. Real-time automated detection, escalation, and documentation of suspected or confirmed security breaches in IT systems supporting aeronautical engineering operations.
1.2. Reduce risk by proactively monitoring endpoints, networks, applications, and cloud resources, rapidly alerting responsible personnel, and automatically executing predefined mitigation or response workflows.
1.3. Ensure compliance with industry regulations, prevent IP theft, and secure sensitive aeronautical data critical to business continuity and client trust.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. Unusual network traffic patterns detected by security appliances.
2.2. Multiple failed authentication attempts within a set time window.
2.3. New unauthorized devices or users appearing on secured networks.
2.4. Changes to protected system files or security policy configurations.
2.5. Endpoint detection and response (EDR) system flags a malware signature or ransomware activity.
2.6. Users reported by threat intelligence feeds or blocklists attempt to access resources.
