Integration of communication logs across platforms

Purpose

1. Automate consolidation, synchronization, and archiving of communication logs across diverse military communication platforms for secure, real-time operational oversight.

2. Automates cross-referencing of events, sender/recipient data, and message content for rapid incident response and audit trails.

3. Enables automated integration with situational awareness dashboards, command decision support, and reporting automators.

4. Supports automated retention policy enforcement, incident monitoring, and regulatory compliance by automating communication log governance.

5. Streamlines automated alerts, escalations, and reporting on communication anomalies, automating risk and security management tasks.

Trigger Conditions

1. Automated detection of new communication events (SMS, email, voice, chat, etc.) on connected platforms.

2. Automatedly scheduled periodic log synchronization (e.g., every 5 min).

3. Automated incident creation, flagging, or manual user request.

4. Change in operational readiness or active incident mode triggers automation flow.

5. API/webhook-based automated message ingestion from integrated systems.
