Privilege Escalation: Cisco Tetration (Secure Workload) detects privilege escalation by monitoring the process lineage tree. It looks for anomalies where a child process gains higher privileges (e.g., root) than its parent in an unauthorized or unexpected manner.
User Login Suspicious Behavior: This pattern focuses on authentication security. The platform monitors logs to detect access failures (brute force attempts) and unusual access methods (e.g., root login attempts over SSH).
Interesting File Access: In Tetration terminology, "interesting files" are user-defined sensitive files (e.g., /etc/shadow, private keys). The platform is "armed" to trigger alerts whenever these specific files are accessed.
File Access from a Different User: This detection relies on behavioral analysis. The platform learns the normal behavior (baseline) of which users typically run specific processes or access files. If a different user than the baseline performs the action, it is flagged.
