Real-time cybersecurity alerts for sensitive systems

Purpose

1. Automate real-time cybersecurity alerts across sensitive fire station IT systems to instantly detect, escalate, and remediate critical threats, unauthorized access, data exfiltration, or suspicious digital activity, ensuring uninterrupted public safety operations, reducing incident response time, and maintaining compliance with regulatory frameworks.

2. Automates the collection, correlation, and transmission of security event data from disparate administrative, financial, and IT platforms to key decision-makers and IT administrators for faster threat containment and transparent audit trails.

Trigger Conditions

1. Automate detection of anomalous login attempts (high volume, unusual geolocation, device fingerprint).

2. Detect, trigger, and automate responses to malware signatures, ransomware outbreaks, and endpoint vulnerabilities.

3. Automatedly escalate triggers on failed logins, privilege escalations, or unauthorized file access in core administrative or financial apps.

4. Automate alerts on firewall, VPN, or proxy anomalies, network exfiltration activity, or stoppage of key IT processes.

5. Initiate automation on real-time threat intelligence feeds updated with new CVEs or zero-day announcements.
