Delper Guard chip diagram showing threat categories

OT & Network Perimeter Threats

Industrial technology and network edge
  • Advanced Persistent ThreatLong-dwell authentication anomalies or unusual administrative tool use.
  • Data ExfiltrationOutbound volume spikes directed toward unknown destinations.
  • Zero-Day ExploitAbnormal process execution, unexpected privilege changes, or non-standard network behavior.
  • Distributed Denial-of-ServiceNetwork traffic volume spiking sharply beyond established baselines.
  • DNS SpoofingResolver answers that do not match authoritative domain records.
  • IoT BotnetsOutbound traffic from an IoT device to a known command-and-control server or active network scanning.
  • Protocol TunnelingUnexpected tunnel protocols or inner payload traffic anomalies.
  • Rogue Access Points and Evil Twin Wi-FiUnknown BSSID/SSID broadcasts or an unauthorized device connected to a secure port.
  • Malware Command-and-ControlAutomated beaconing patterns to rare domains or external IP addresses.

Endpoint & Host-Level Threats

IT endpoints and host systems
  • Malicious Process InjectionUnexpected memory writes or abnormal parent-child process execution chains.
  • Pass-the-HashNTLM logons originating from unusual hosts or off-baseline administrator logons.
  • Bring Your Own Vulnerable DriverAttempted loading of a blocklisted or known vulnerable kernel driver.
  • Disabling Security ToolsSecurity protection status modifications or direct tamper-protection alert events.
  • InfostealersAutomated credential exfiltration attempts to an unknown destination.
  • Living Off the LandBuilt-in system administrative tools used in highly unusual or malicious sequences.
  • Polymorphic MalwareA behavioral system match to malicious activity without a matching static signature.
  • Ransomware / RaaSMass file modification patterns or attempts to delete volume shadow copies.

Cloud & Application-Layer Threats

Cloud workloads, APIs, and web applications
  • Resource HijackingUnapproved jobs running or GPU/CPU utilization spiking off baseline.
  • Cloud MisconfigurationPublic storage exposure or IAM policy drift from the established baseline.
  • Data Exfiltration (Cloud)Unusual cloud API sequences or storage egress spikes.
  • Insecure APIsCloud API calls executing outside of assigned scope or unauthenticated requests.
  • Cryptojacking (Cloud)Sudden CPU spikes or outbound connections to cryptocurrency mining pools.
  • Misconfigured Systems / Exposed DatabasesOpen internet ports or public storage/database endpoints.
  • Shadow ITUnsanctioned applications/workloads detected or OAuth grants given to unknown applications.
  • API ExploitationMalformed or out-of-scope API requests.
  • Cross-Site Request ForgeryState-changing web requests executing without a valid origin.
  • Cross-Site ScriptingScript injection patterns detected in web input or output fields.
  • Drive-By DownloadsAn unexpected or automated download triggered from a visited webpage.
  • SQL InjectionSQL query anomalies or database error patterns.
  • Web Application ThreatsApplication-layer attack signatures identified.

Artificial Intelligence & LLM Core Threats

Model integrity and generative output
  • Backdoor InjectionTrigger-like output patterns or core model integrity mismatches.
  • Content AbuseOutput classifier flags an event or a sudden spike in generated content.
  • JailbreakingPrompt injection patterns detected or repeated user prompt guardrail hits.
  • Model Extraction AttacksHigh-volume, systematic query patterns originating from a single API key.
  • Model PoisoningPerformance drift, anomalous AI outputs, or dataset provenance gaps.

Identity, Access & Authentication Exploits

Accounts, sessions, and login behavior
  • Session HijackingToken reuse detected across physically impossible devices or locations.
  • SaaS Authentication ExploitsImpossible travel alerts, MFA bypass patterns, or active orphan accounts.
  • Brute Force AttackHigh authentication failure rates concentrated on a single account.
  • MFA Fatigue AttacksRepeated push notifications followed closely by an approval.
  • Password SprayingA low number of login failures per account spread systematically across a large number of accounts.
  • Suspicious Cloud AuthenticationAnomalous login behavior or connection from an unusual device or geography.

Human, Social Engineering & Supply-Chain Threats

People, partners, and vendors
  • Insider ThreatCredential misuse or data access patterns falling outside an assigned user role.
  • Insider Misuse / Privilege EscalationUnexpected role grants or off-hours administrative actions.
  • Watering Hole AttackRedirection scripts or source code changes detected on a trusted, external site.
  • Supply-Chain AttacksUnsigned or modified vendor software packages and updates detected.
  • Business Email CompromiseDirect payment modification requests or lookalike sender addresses.
  • Deepfake-Enabled Scams (Vishing)Unverified voice or video corporate instructions.
  • PhishingHigh-risk malicious links or attachment reports.
  • SIM HijackingMobile carrier port-out or sudden SIM card change events.
  • SmishingMalicious SMS links reported to the gateway.
  • Social EngineeringHelp-desk password resets or requests to bypass access policies.
  • Spear PhishingTargeted communications directed specifically to privileged users.
