Reference architecture

Observability and threat detection

Metrics, logs, and traces flow into one place, with alerts for security signals as well as availability.

Detection plane

Auth-failure spikes · Unexpected egress · Out-of-band deploys

A generalized pattern from my platform work; exact tools vary by environment.

Design decisions

DECISION 1
Alert on symptoms users feel, plus a small set of high-signal security events.
DECISION 2
Every alert links to a runbook; an alert without an action is noise.
DECISION 3
This is the theme of the MSc research: automation for continuous threat detection.
