These detections can identify behaviors that, while not directly malicious, may pose security or compliance risks. For instance, the system can detect use of social media on the network, which can be a potential avenue for phishing or social engineering attacks. Detection of third-party VPN usage is another feature of this category; while VPNs can provide security, unauthorized or non-standard VPNs could be used to bypass network security controls or exfiltrate data. Similarly, the use of instant messaging clients can be detected, which can help enforce communication policies and prevent data leakage. By alerting network administrators to these activities, Operational Governance detections help maintain a clean, secure, and compliant network environment. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.fusion.vectra.ai/detection-models/library/operational-governance.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
