Rules↑

In AQtive Guard, rules define the criteria for cryptographic analysis. When data is ingested, the system checks the detected cryptography against the active rules. When a rule violation is detected, the corresponding issue is assigned a status and logged in the Issues table for further review and tracking.

Tip

To ensure effective risk management and compliance, collaborate with your organization’s security and compliance teams to verify that the rule logic is aligned with your organization’s security policies and relevant industry regulations. This alignment helps guarantee that AQtive Guard issue identification and severity categorization accurately reflects your organization’s risk tolerance and compliance requirements.
