Operational Governance

Operational Governance detections are a part of Netography Fusion's Netography Detection Models (NDMs) and are designed to promote best practices in network hygiene and responsible use of network resources. These detections can identify behaviors that, while not directly malicious, may pose security or compliance risks. For instance, the system can detect use of social media on the network, which can be a potential avenue for phishing or social engineering attacks. Detection of third-party VPN usage is another feature of this category; while VPNs can provide security, unauthorized or non-standard VPNs could be used to bypass network security controls or exfiltrate data. Similarly, the use of instant messaging clients can be detected, which can help enforce communication policies and prevent data leakage. By alerting network administrators to these activities, Operational Governance detections help maintain a clean, secure, and compliant network environment.
