Aegisify Digital Intelligence — Response & Recovery

Contain What the Evidence Supports. Verify What Changed. Watch for the Return Path.

Aegisify brings response and recovery into one application-security lifecycle so a containment decision does not become the end of the investigation. Evidence-backed actions are reviewed in context, consequential execution stays authorization-gated, postconditions are checked after execution, and monitored recurrence can return a case to active investigation.

Response is not a button.It is a controlled chain from evidence → scope → decision → execution → verification → recurrence watch.

One Operational Security Lifecycle

Detect → Investigate → Respond → Verify → Watch for Recurrence

Separating response from recovery creates an artificial handoff. Aegisify keeps the containment record, execution outcome, verification state, supporting investigation, and recurrence evidence connected.

01DetectCollect supported application evidence and identify material security signals.

02InvestigateEstablish what is observed, correlated, suspected, and still unknown.

03RespondPropose the narrowest supported action against the exact target.

04VerifyRecheck the target state after the action instead of assuming success.

05WatchMonitor for evidence that the same contained behavior or mechanism returned.

Evidence-Backed Containment

Aegisify Does Not Need to Invent an Action for Every Alert

A response proposal is useful only when the monitored evidence identifies a supported target and the expected operational effect can be explained before execution.

Digital Intelligence can turn eligible incident evidence into a containment proposal tied to one monitored application domain and one exact target. The current response catalog includes supported actions for suspicious inbound request sources, outbound destinations, application credentials, application sessions, application components, scheduled tasks, suspicious application resources, and non-owner application identities when the required Aegisify control is connected.

Each proposal preserves the reason for the action, target scope, response level, expected effect, potential business impact, reversibility, execution history, and related recovery state. If deterministic evidence does not support a containment proposal, the queue can remain empty rather than filling the interface with speculative actions.

Critical boundary: AI may help explain evidence and recommend next steps, but it does not authorize consequential containment. Execution is controlled by deterministic policy and authorized account decisions.

Response Levels

Different Actions Need Different Approval Boundaries

Digital Intelligence distinguishes monitoring, narrowly pre-authorized protection, owner-approved response, and manual-only work instead of treating every security action as equivalent.

Monitor

Recommendation and visibility only. Nothing consequential executes while the response policy is in monitor mode.

Best for observation, investigation, and evidence collection without automated containment.

Protect

Only exact temporary protections that the customer has explicitly pre-authorized and that the connected Agent has confirmed through policy synchronization are eligible.

Current pre-authorizable controls are intentionally narrow rather than a blanket automation switch.

Owner Approval

An authorized owner reviews the evidence, exact target, expected effect, business impact, and recovery path before the action can execute.

Designed for consequential changes where accountable human review matters.

Manual

High-impact or unsupported work stays outside Digital Intelligence automated execution.

The platform can preserve investigation context without pretending every remediation should be automated.

Before Execution

Check the Target Again Before Acting on an Earlier Observation

Security evidence can be correct when collected and stale by the time an action is approved. Aegisify rechecks current state to reduce the risk of executing against a target that has already changed.

01Exact domainThe action remains bound to the monitored application domain that produced the supporting incident evidence.

02Exact targetTarget fingerprints and action-specific context prevent a proposal from becoming an open-ended instruction.

03Authorization stateThe response mode, owner decision, or narrow pre-authorization must still permit execution.

04Current-state preflightThe connected application runtime rechecks the expected state before a consequential command is accepted.

05Signed dispatchApproved commands are bound to the tenant, application domain, Agent identity, action, target, and current execution context.

06Visible failureRejected, failed, stale, or mismatched execution remains visible instead of being converted into a false success state.

Supported Response Examples

Contain the Narrow Mechanism—Not the Whole Application

Availability depends on the evidence type, connected Aegisify controls, current application state, customer policy, and authorization level.

Inbound

Temporary request-source protection

When supported WAF evidence identifies an exact request source, Digital Intelligence can propose a temporary source block. Shared-source business impact remains visible before approval.

Outbound

Temporary destination protection

For supported application egress evidence, an exact destination can be proposed for temporary blocking, with the integration impact and restoration path stated before action.

Identity

Credential and session containment

Eligible evidence can support revoking an exact application credential, terminating sessions for an affected identity, or suspending a non-owner application identity when the required control path is available.

Persistence

Component and scheduled-task containment

Evidence tied to an exact application component or scheduled task can support deactivation or removal proposals rather than a broad application shutdown.

Resource

Suspicious resource quarantine

When the connected Shield control supports the exact resource and the evidence is sufficient, Digital Intelligence can propose moving that application resource into the quarantine flow.

Recovery

Action-specific rollback guidance

Reversible actions identify how the exact protection can be removed or restored. Irreversible actions state what must be recreated or reauthenticated instead of presenting a fake rollback promise.

Recovery Verification

“Executed” Is Not the Same Thing as “Recovered”

After a supported containment action completes, Aegisify creates a recovery-verification record and checks the expected postcondition for that action. A revoked credential should no longer be present. Terminated sessions should show no active sessions for the targeted identity. A blocked destination or request source should report the expected blocked state. A disabled component should no longer be active. A quarantined resource should be quarantined or absent.

If the current state cannot be verified, recovery remains degraded or unverified. The platform does not convert an unavailable check into “fixed.”

Recurrence Intelligence

If the Same Behavior Returns, Recovery Should Not Stay Green

Aegisify watches the post-containment evidence ledger for action-specific signs that the targeted behavior or mechanism returned.

Outbound destinationLook for a later supported outbound request to the same target that was not denied or blocked.

Request sourceLook for later application evidence from the same request-source fingerprint that is not enforcement-only blocked evidence.

File or componentLook for a later creation, modification, malware observation, activation, or installation tied to the contained target.

Identity or sessionsLook for later successful authentication or session evidence tied to the targeted identity.

Application credentialLook for later successful use of the exact credential identity after revocation.

Scheduled taskLook for the matching task being created again after removal.

When recurrence is observed, the related investigation can return to an investigating state and the recurrence evidence stays directly linked to the containment history. That preserves the operational story: what was contained, what was verified, and what later came back.

Recovery Confidence

Verification Inherits the Health of the Evidence Used to Verify It

A quiet recovery window is meaningful only when the relevant evidence channels are healthy enough to support the conclusion.

Healthy coveragePostcondition and recurrence statements can use the monitored evidence normally, while still staying within the application-layer visibility boundary.

Degraded coverageRecovery confidence is reduced because an affected sensor or evidence pipeline may not be observing what the conclusion depends on.

Unavailable evidenceAegisify does not infer “no recurrence” from a blind channel. Missing visibility remains an explicit limitation.

Scope statement: recovery verification is based on supported monitored SaaS application evidence. It does not claim that a host, network, device, or application is universally clean or unaffected.

Response & Recovery FAQ

Common Questions About Digital Intelligence Response

Can Aegisify automatically execute every recommended response?

No. The response model deliberately separates monitor-only recommendations, narrowly pre-authorized temporary protections, owner-approved consequential actions, and manual-only work. The exact action must also be supported by current evidence and the connected control path.

Can AI approve or execute containment?

No. AI can assist with evidence explanation and recommendations, but consequential execution remains controlled by deterministic policy, current target state, and authorized response boundaries.

What happens if the target changes before approval?

The response flow rechecks current target state before execution. A stale or mismatched state should fail visibly rather than applying an old decision to a changed target.

Does a successful command mean the incident is resolved?

No. Execution is followed by action-specific postcondition verification and monitored recurrence. Recovery remains separate from the simple fact that a command was accepted.

What does the 72-hour window prove?

It supports a bounded statement about whether related recurrence was observed during the monitored recovery window when the necessary evidence channels remained available. It is not a guarantee that the entire application or infrastructure is clean.
