HTTP Failover Policy is a networking resilience policy that defines when traffic should move to another path or region for application-layer request routing. It uses health signals, priorities, and cooldown windows so teams can recover from outages predictably while keeping evidence, reliability, and public-safe operational boundaries clear.
“The network engineering team used HTTP Failover Policy when a client retried a request, so the team could recover from outages predictably before traffic crossed a service boundary.”
Identity Forensic Snapshot is a security investigation artifact that captures system state for later review for user and workload identity. It uses logs, configuration, hashes, and time-bounded data so teams can analyze incidents without changing evidence while keeping evidence, reliability, and public-safe operational boundaries clear.
“The security team used Identity Forensic Snapshot when a service account requested access, so the team could analyze incidents without changing evidence before the risk review began.”
Application Secret Scanner is a security preventive control that finds credentials before they spread for software security and abuse resistance. It uses pattern matching, entropy checks, and allowlists so teams can stop accidental key exposure while keeping evidence, reliability, and public-safe operational boundaries clear.
“The security team used Application Secret Scanner when a form received unusual input, so the team could stop accidental key exposure before the risk review began.”
CDN Rate Limit is a networking traffic control that caps request volume over a period for content delivery and edge caching. It uses identity keys, windows, and response policies so teams can protect services from overload while keeping evidence, reliability, and public-safe operational boundaries clear.
“The network engineering team used CDN Rate Limit when a cache region served an asset, so the team could protect services from overload before traffic crossed a service boundary.”
Endpoint Evidence Chain is a security audit record that preserves how security evidence was collected and handled for user device and server protection. It uses timestamps, hashes, owners, and storage controls so teams can support trustworthy investigation while keeping evidence, reliability, and public-safe operational boundaries clear.
“The security team used Endpoint Evidence Chain when a workstation reported suspicious activity, so the team could support trustworthy investigation before the risk review began.”
VPN Egress Policy is a networking outbound control that decides where workloads may send traffic for private tunnel connectivity. It uses allowlists, identity, and logging so teams can reduce exfiltration and SSRF risk while keeping evidence, reliability, and public-safe operational boundaries clear.
“The network engineering team used VPN Egress Policy when a remote user connected, so the team could reduce exfiltration and SSRF risk before traffic crossed a service boundary.”
Packet Egress Policy is a networking outbound control that decides where workloads may send traffic for unit of network transmission. It uses allowlists, identity, and logging so teams can reduce exfiltration and SSRF risk while keeping evidence, reliability, and public-safe operational boundaries clear.
“The network engineering team used Packet Egress Policy when packet loss increased, so the team could reduce exfiltration and SSRF risk before traffic crossed a service boundary.”
Vulnerability Phishing Resistance is a security identity control that reduces success of credential theft attacks for weakness tracking and remediation. It uses passkeys, hardware-backed factors, and origin checks so teams can protect sign-in flows while keeping evidence, reliability, and public-safe operational boundaries clear.
“The security team used Vulnerability Phishing Resistance when a scanner found a critical issue, so the team could protect sign-in flows before the risk review began.”
Access Detection Rule is a security security analytic that matches suspicious behavior or known indicators for authorization and privilege control. It uses logs, thresholds, signatures, and behavioral context so teams can surface actionable alerts while keeping evidence, reliability, and public-safe operational boundaries clear.
“The security team used Access Detection Rule when a role gained new permissions, so the team could surface actionable alerts before the risk review began.”
CDN Certificate Monitor is a networking security monitor that tracks certificate validity and configuration for content delivery and edge caching. It uses expiry checks, chain validation, and alerting so teams can avoid trust failures while keeping evidence, reliability, and public-safe operational boundaries clear.
“The network engineering team used CDN Certificate Monitor when a cache region served an asset, so the team could avoid trust failures before traffic crossed a service boundary.”
