monitor = RuntimeSecurityMonitor(config={
    "enabled": True,
    "falco": {"enabled": True},
    "alerting": {

## 🚨 Incident Response

### Severity Levels

| Severity | Response Time | Example |
|----------|---------------|---------|
| **P0 - Critical** | 15 minutes | Active ransomware, data breach |
| **P1 - High** | 1 hour | SQL injection, auth bypass |
| **P2 - Medium** | 4 hours | Brute force, malware detected |
| **P3 - Low** | 24 hours | Weak password, missing patch |
| **P4 - Info** | 7 days | Best practice recommendation |

### Incident Types
1. Malicious Code (ransomware, malware)
2. Unauthorized Access (brute force, auth bypass)
3. Data Breach (exfiltration, exposure)
4. Denial of Service (DDoS, resource exhaustion)
5. Web Application Attack (SQLi, XSS, SSRF)
6. Misconfiguration (unsecured S3 bucket, exposed DB)
7. Social Engineering (phishing, BEC)

### Quick Response Commands
```bash
# Block IP at firewall
iptables -A INPUT -s <IP> -j DROP

# Disable user account
usermod -L <username>

# Kill all processes for user
pkill -u <username>

# View recent auth failures
grep "Failed password" /var/log/auth.log | tail -100

# Capture network traffic
tcpdump -i any -w capture.pcap

# View active connections
ss -tunap
```

## 🔐 Secrets Management

### HashiCorp Vault Setup
```bash
# Install Vault
brew install vault  # macOS

# Start Vault server
vault server -dev

# Initialize and unseal
vault operator init
vault operator unseal <key1>
vault operator unseal <key2>
vault operator unseal <key3>

# Login
vault login <root_token>

# Enable KV secrets engine
vault secrets enable -path=mahavishnu kv-v2

# Store secret
vault kv put mahavishnu/jwt value="your-jwt-secret"

# Retrieve secret
vault kv get mahavishnu/jwt
```

### AWS Secrets Manager Setup
```bash
# Install AWS CLI
pip install boto3

# Store secret
aws secretsmanager create-secret \
  --name mahavishnu/jwt \
  --secret-string '{"value": "your-jwt-secret"}'

# Retrieve secret
aws secretsmanager get-secret-value \
  --secret-id mahavishnu/jwt

# Schedule rotation
aws secretsmanager rotate-secret \
  --secret-id mahavishnu/jwt \
  --rotation-rules AutomaticallyAfterDays=90
```

---

## 🔑 Environment Variables

### Cross-Project Authentication
```bash
# Required for Session-Buddy integration
# Generate secure secret with:
export CROSS_PROJECT_AUTH_SECRET="$(python -c 'import secrets; print(secrets.token_urlsafe(32))')"

# Verify it's set
echo $CROSS_PROJECT_AUTH_SECRET

# Minimum length: 32 characters
# Maximum length: No limit (but 32-64 recommended)
```

### Production Mode
```bash
# Set production mode to enforce security requirements
export MAHAVISHNU_ENV=production

# In production mode:
# - CROSS_PROJECT_AUTH_SECRET MUST be set (no fallback)
# - All secrets must be configured
# - Fallback development secrets are rejected
```

### Authentication Secrets
```bash
# JWT authentication (if enabled)
export MAHAVISHNU_AUTH__SECRET="$(python -c 'import secrets; print(secrets.token_urlsafe(32))')"

# Subscription authentication (if enabled)
export MAHAVISHNU_SUBSCRIPTION_AUTH__SECRET="$(python -c 'import secrets; print(secrets.token_urlsafe(32))')"

# Oneiric MCP JWT (if enabled)
export MAHAVISHNU_ONEIRIC_MCP__JWT_SECRET="$(python -c 'import secrets; print(secrets.token_urlsafe(32))')"
```

### Database Secrets
```bash
# PostgreSQL connection string
export MAHAVISHNU_OTEL_STORAGE__CONNECTION_STRING="postgresql://user:password@host:5432/database"

# SSL mode (require, verify-ca, verify-full)
export DB_SSLMODE=require
```

### Secrets Management Backend
```bash
# Choose backend: file, vault, aws, azure, env
export SECRETS_BACKEND="vault"

# Vault configuration
export VAULT_ADDR="https://vault.example.com:8200"
export VAULT_TOKEN="${VAULT_TOKEN}"
```

## 🛡️ Security Headers

Mahavishnu automatically adds security headers to all HTTP responses.

### Default Headers
- **Content-Security-Policy**: default-src 'self'
- **X-Frame-Options**: DENY
- **X-Content-Type-Options**: nosniff
- **Strict-Transport-Security**: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains
- **X-XSS-Protection**: 1; mode=block
- **Referrer-Policy**: strict-origin-when-cross-origin

### Configuration
```yaml
# settings/mahavishnu.yaml
security_headers:
  enabled: true

  # Content Security Policy (XSS protection)
  csp_enabled: true
  csp_policy: "default-src 'self' https://api.example.com"

  # X-Frame-Options (clickjacking protection)
  frame_options_enabled: true
  frame_options: "DENY"  # DENY, SAMEORIGIN, ALLOW-FROM

  # X-Content-Type-Options (MIME sniffing protection)
  content_type_options_enabled: true

  # HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security)
  hsts_enabled: true
  hsts_max_age: 31536000  # 1 year in seconds
  hsts_include_subdomains: true
  hsts_preload: false  # Enable for browser preload lists

  # X-XSS-Protection
  xss_protection_enabled: true

  # Referrer-Policy
  referrer_policy_enabled: true
  referrer_policy: "strict-origin-when-cross-origin"
```

### Environment Variables
```bash
# Disable security headers (not recommended)
export MAHAVISHNU_SECURITY_HEADERS__ENABLED=false

# Customize CSP policy
export MAHAVISHNU_SECURITY_HEADERS__CSP_POLICY="default-src 'self' https://api.example.com"

# Customize frame options
export MAHAVISHNU_SECURITY_HEADERS__FRAME_OPTIONS="SAMEORIGIN"

# Enable HSTS preload
export MAHAVISHNU_SECURITY_HEADERS__HSTS_PRELOAD=true
```

### Testing
```bash
# Check security headers
curl -I http://localhost:3000 | grep -E "(Content-Security|X-Frame|X-Content|Strict-Transport|X-XSS|Referrer)"

# Expected output:
# Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'
# X-Frame-Options: DENY
# X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
# Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains
# X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block
# Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin
```

### Security Benefits
- **XSS Protection**: CSP and X-XSS-Protection prevent cross-site scripting
- **Clickjacking Protection**: X-Frame-Options prevents iframe embedding
- **MIME Sniffing Protection**: X-Content-Type-Options prevents file type confusion
- **MITM Protection**: HSTS enforces HTTPS connections
- **Referrer Control**: Referrer-Policy controls information leakage

  output: Shell in Mahavishnu (user=%user.name)
  priority: WARNING
EOF

# Run Falco
falco --config /etc/falco/falco.yaml
```

### Slack Alerting
