Core Concepts
Global Intelligence
The decentralized "Hive Mind" that powers AuraGuardian.
How does Hive Mind / Global Intelligence work?
AuraGuardian is not a set of isolated firewalls; it is a connected defense grid. When a single node detects a confirmed threat, that intelligence is broadcast to the entire network.
How it works:
- Detection: Site A detects a SQL Injection attack from IP
1.2.3.4. - Verification: The Agent blocks the request and reports the telemetry to the Aura Cloud.
- Consensus: The Cloud Brain verifies the signature against known bot patterns.
- Broadcast: IP
1.2.3.4is added to the Global Blocklist. - Immunization: Within 60 seconds, Site B, Site C, and Site D automatically download the updated blocklist.
What data points does Global Intelligence track?
The Global Intelligence database tracks:
- Banned IPs: Malicious actors caught attacking other nodes.
- Toxic ASNs: Hosting providers known for hosting botnets (e.g., bulletproof hosting).
- Scanner Signatures: User-Agent strings associated with vulnerability scanners.
