SpectraStrike Architecture Security Overview

1. Security Architecture Principle

SpectraStrike follows a layered security architecture with explicit trust boundaries and defense-in-depth controls across ingress, processing, orchestration, transport, and evidence layers.

2. Layer-by-Layer Controls

Ingestion Layer

• schema-normalized telemetry intake
• bounded input contracts and parser controls
• event attribution requirements

Correlation and Processing Layer

• deterministic orchestration pathways
• controlled task lifecycle transitions
• bounded retry/error semantics

Orchestration and Control Layer

• AAA enforcement at command and task boundaries
• audit chain continuity across critical actions
• explicit operator/action traceability

Integration and Export Layer

• contract-first external adapters
• TLS and pinning support for outbound integrations
• batching and error-isolation controls for export pathways

Runtime and Infrastructure Layer

• hardened container runtime profile
• network segmentation and least-exposed ports
• internal mTLS for broker and data services
• policy-check and security-gate workflows

3. Identity and Authorization Model

• role-based access control with enforcement in orchestrator and UI APIs
• account lockout and optional MFA path
• session-bound operator context in admin interfaces

4. Transport and Data Protection

• HTTPS edge via Nginx
• internal mTLS for app-to-broker and app-to-data services
• certificate pinning support for selected integrations
• secrets externalized via environment and secrets files

5. Integrity and Auditability

• structured logs with deterministic fields
• tamper-evident audit chain design
• command-level and integration-level evidence recording

6. Operational Security Assurance

Security posture is verified through:

• compose hardening policy checks
• QA and regression test suites
• supply-chain artifacts (SBOM/CVE/signature workflows)
• runbook-defined escalation and blocker recording protocols
