Turn security telemetry into a live pressure gauge for every zone.

Signature-Free Telemetry for Security Operations

The Latency of Signature Detection

Time is the fundamental constraint of pattern-matching defense. Current intrusion detection relies on prior observation to categorize malicious behavior: a classifier needs a known signature to raise an alert, and reads the telemetry only after the perimeter has absorbed the attack.

Frontier models shrink the interval between novel vulnerability discovery and reproduction at scale. When an adversary deploys an undocumented exploit, the sequence bypasses historical threat feeds, and the defender must absorb the breach to extract the signature that halts the next one.

The security apparatus stays synchronized to yesterday's attack surface.

Structural Zero‑Day Early Warning.

An intrusion shifts the load on a network zone before any signature matches the payload. For every defended zone, KAIROS Cyber continuously weighs incoming attack pressure against remaining defensive capacity: a stress meter on the weakest column, computed directly from live security telemetry. From the first move of an uncatalogued exploit, each reading surfaces the zone's stability margin, the dominant pressure driver, and the control closest to giving way before exfiltration commits.

Placement

KAIROS Cyber sits between live telemetry streams and the security operations center. As authentication logs, network flows, and endpoint events arrive, the adapter normalizes activity across identity, edge, internal, and data zones into a continuous stability reading, handing the SOC an evidence-backed escalation while the kill chain is still short.

Every defended zone needs a live reading on its remaining margin.

As activity arrives in a defended zone's telemetry stream, KAIROS Cyber normalizes the window and weighs incoming attack pressure against remaining control depth. When margin holds, the zone passes and monitoring continues. When margin erodes, KAIROS Cyber emits a structured signal envelope with the dominant pressure drivers, source event IDs, and weakest controls so the SOC can contain the intrusion before the kill chain completes.

Escalation ladder

From the first drift to a previewed containment.

Each reading is built around a 60-second explanation bar: affected zone, stability margin, dominant pressure driver with source event IDs, and weakest control. As a zone's margin erodes, KAIROS Cyber steps monotonically through four operational stages and previews proposed SOC responses before execution.

01 / 04 · Elevated · Investigate anomaly

Watch

Investigate while the zone still has headroom.

Trigger
Early structural drift is detected, or vulnerability exposure findings compress a zone's margin before active exploitation begins (capped so static exposure alone cannot trigger a false intrusion alarm).
Output
Emits the 60-second explanation envelope: affected zone, dominant pressure driver with OCSF event IDs, and the weakest control.

02 / 04 · Active intrusion · Escalate incident

Escalate

Raise the incident before lateral movement reaches the data plane.

Trigger
Attack pressure crosses the active intrusion threshold, a stability cliff is detected, or remaining steps to boundary impact compress.
Output
Escalates to the SOC with MITRE ATT&CK mappings, downstream blast radius, and host-topology reachability across network, auth, and admin edges.

03 / 04 · Critical compromise risk · Containment review

Review

Preview the containment before the playbook causes an outage.

Trigger
Zone margin approaches exhaustion, or a broad automated containment playbook targets a critical zone.
Output
Previews proposed SOC actions (host isolation, credential revocation, network block), flagging destabilization risk, multi-actor paradox risk, and business-continuity impact.

04 / 04 · Signed override · Audit trail

Authorize

Cryptographically bound human authorization.

Token
High-impact actions rejected by the action gate require an external RSA-PSS override token bound to the request SHA-256 digest, policy version, operator ID, and TTL.
Record
Every envelope records the full decision context, override outcome, and topology frame hashes for deterministic replay.

Compliance and regulation

NIS2 starts a 24-hour clock. Forensic log reconstruction takes weeks.

Without KAIROS

Post-mortem log reconstruction

After an intrusion is discovered, responders spend days stitching together fragmented SIEM queries, authentication logs, and firewall flows while the statutory reporting clock runs.

With KAIROS

The pre-indexed incident timeline

Every zone stability reading, dominant pressure driver with OCSF event IDs, host-topology reachability frame, and signed override is hash-bound as it occurs. The 24-hour early-warning record exists the moment the threshold is crossed.

NIS2 Directive (2022/2555)Applies 18 October 2024

  1. 24hEarly warning
  2. 72hNotification
  3. 1 monthFinal report

Under Article 23, the statutory clock starts the moment an entity becomes aware of a significant incident. Financial entities face parallel incident-reporting timelines under DORA (Regulation 2022/2554), applicable since 17 January 2025.

Who relies on the record

  • Regulator or auditorA reproducible incident timeline that traces source OCSF event IDs to every zone escalation verdict.
  • Incident responderEach zone's 60-second explanation envelope, MITRE ATT&CK mapping, and blast-radius frame ready for the 24-hour early warning.
  • Cyber insurerVerifiable evidence that zone controls were monitored against calibrated thresholds and containment actions were previewed before execution.

Scope a Cybersecurity Evaluation

Scoped evaluations run KAIROS Cyber in shadow-mode replay against a historical incident, purple-team exercise, or redacted OCSF telemetry export. A standard two-week pilot maps the defended zones and trust boundaries, normalizes the telemetry window, and benchmarks KAIROS lead time against three baseline detectors.

The final readout delivers reproducible JSON and Markdown reports with OCSF event provenance, telemetry coverage scoring, and calibration hashes. Full schema details and redaction rules are published in the cybersecurity partner data specification. Complete the form on the right to scope an evaluation.
