Introduction

In the ever-evolving landscape of corporate cybersecurity, ShitOps proudly presents a groundbreaking solution elevating Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) to uncharted heights. Faced with the challenge of securing assets both on Earth and our pioneering Mars outpost, our hybrid architecture intertwines Private VLAN segmentation, ultra-high 4K resolution monitoring, state-of-the-art Cloud storage synced with legacy Tape backups, and concurrent processing using Git version control and transparent security provided by Let's Encrypt certificate automation.

This solution is designed to future-proof our security posture, architected for extreme scalability and celestial resilience.

The Problem

Our current IDS infrastructure, while functional, struggles amid increasing network segmentation complexities and multiterritory data sovereignty demands. Traditional IDS solutions lack the granular isolation necessary for Private VLANs and fall short in capturing high-fidelity network telemetry essential in detecting advanced persistent threats. Additionally, with the expansion of our Martian telemetry research facility, delayed or unavailable terrestrial network connections pose data retention and forensic analysis challenges.

Moreover, integrating these new data sources into our centralized Cloud storage, while maintaining archival durability through tape, required a paradigm shift.

Architectural Overview

Our solution starts with the deployment of Industrial-Grade 4K Network Packet Inspection Cameras at every switch port within our Private VLAN segments. These cameras continuously stream ultra-high resolution packet capture videos, enabling AI-powered behavioral analysis.

Concurrent processing pipelines, orchestrated through Kubernetes clusters, analyze this video stream in real-time with TensorFlow models. Results are version-controlled using Git repositories that track changes per detection cycle, providing auditability and rollback capabilities.

For data storage, a hybrid solution is implemented where processed metadata and crucial logs persist in Cloud storage encrypted via Let's Encrypt generated TLS certificates. Simultaneously, raw 4K video streams are backed up asynchronously onto LTO Ultrium Tape drives for indefinite archival, uploaded physically by our Mars-bound logistics drones to circumvent limited bandwidth.

The Mars-based IDS node operates autonomously, syncing its state changes upon Earth communication windows to maintain consistency.
