Abstract
This use case considers endpoint triage where security and mission continuity are both material. KRYOS-XS does not generate endpoint telemetry. It reasons over evidence supplied by approved endpoint, identity and device-management systems.
Decision problem
Immediate isolation may protect the network but interrupt essential field work. Continued operation may preserve the mission while increasing exposure. The organization must decide which response is justified by the evidence and what controls are required if full isolation is delayed.
Evidence and Hypercube reasoning
Console retrieves available alerts, device state, identity activity, accessible data, network relationships and operational context. Hypercube compares false positive, limited infection and active compromise. It assesses both technical consequence and the cost of disrupting the field operation.
Governed workflow
Console creates a triage packet, identifies missing evidence and recommends isolate, restrict, replace, investigate or continue under defined controls. High-impact decisions require authorized review. Actions taken through the existing endpoint or identity platforms are later verified and recorded.
Evaluation design
Measures should include time to triage, confirmed compromises contained, unnecessary isolations, operational downtime, evidence completeness, verification of remediation and cases correctly escalated because source data was insufficient.
Boundary condition
This capability depends on suitable EDR or mobile-device-management interfaces. KRYOS-XS should not imply visibility that the connected system cannot provide.
Reading time 2 minutes. Every decision described here is recorded in the KRYOS Decision Ledger with its evidence, authority and verified outcome.
