DRAIDIS Use Case

Operator-controlled network monitoring for disconnected environments

The Challenge

Tactical networks need local visibility when access to enterprise monitoring is limited or unavailable. Any local response also has to protect mission traffic and keep operators in control of disruptive actions.

Some brigade-and-below networks have limited access to organic defensive cyber personnel or centralized monitoring during disconnected operations.
Tactical traffic patterns can differ from enterprise networks. Cyber teams need to tune and test detection rules against the actual protocols, topology, and mission environment.
During degraded or disconnected operations, access to centralized monitoring and response may be limited. Start with the unit's threat model to decide which visibility and response functions belong on the local node.
Delayed containment can increase lateral-movement risk, while automatic blocking can disrupt mission traffic. Operators need clear action limits, approval steps, and tested rollback.

How DRAIDIS Solves It

DRAIDIS BRAVO monitors the network traffic your team selects, flags possible anomalies, and applies tested segmentation rules locally. Operators review containment recommendations and approve disruptive actions. During the pilot, your cyber team measures visibility, detection quality, alert time, policy behavior, rollback, and recovery against representative traffic and threat scenarios. Your team controls whether network records may be used to evaluate or improve a model.

1

Network Discovery

Passively observe the network segment your team selects and build an inventory with possible device type, OS fingerprint, traffic patterns, and expected communication paths.

2

Traffic Baseline

Build a baseline for protocol distribution, traffic volume, communication pairs, and timing using reviewed traffic from the unit's operating profile.

3

Local Monitoring

Inspect selected traffic locally with protocol-aware and flow-based analysis configured for the topology, mission constraints, and collection plan.

4

Anomaly Detection

Flag possible deviations such as unusual scanning, new communication paths, protocol changes, beaconing, exfiltration patterns, and lateral-movement indicators.

5

Threat Classification

Compare each anomaly with the threat library your team selects and present possible categories, confidence, and evidence to the analyst.

6

Policy Enforcement

Apply tested identity and micro-segmentation rules within the action limits your team sets for the mission.

7

Operator-Controlled Containment

Recommend quarantine for a suspected device or run a reviewed playbook within defined limits. Operators approve high-impact containment and can roll it back.

8

Incident Reporting

When a link is available, transmit the incident records, timeline, analysis, and packet evidence your team selects under its collection, access, and retention rules.

Deployment Configuration

This use case deploys on a single DRAIDIS tier.

Vehicle / CP

DRAIDIS BRAVO

Inline design for a selected tactical-network segment. It monitors traffic within the collection boundary your team sets and applies tested access and segmentation rules locally.

Key Capabilities

Purpose-built AI capabilities for this mission set.

Protocol-Aware Analysis

Configure packet and flow analysis for the protocols present on the selected network segment, alongside enterprise HTTP and HTTPS traffic.

Behavioral Detection

Compare traffic with a reviewed local baseline and flag possible deviations for analyst review alongside signature-based controls.

Local Policy Enforcement

Apply tested identity and micro-segmentation rules locally when a central policy server is unavailable.

Operator-Controlled Containment

Recommend containment or run a reviewed playbook within defined action limits, rollback procedures, and operator approval.

Encrypted Flow Analysis

Use flow metadata to surface possible beaconing, exfiltration, or command-and-control patterns without decrypting content.

Local Monitoring

Run selected monitoring and policy functions on local hardware and send chosen reports when a link returns.
