Agent runs without logging enabled
A risky Behavior signal for an AI agent from the SIEM (SIEM, agent workflow without audit logging): the agent runs workflows with audit logging off or unrouted to the SIEM.
Classification
- Risk domain One of 9 areas of human risk, from social engineering to readiness and response. Every signal belongs to one.
- Evidence level
- Maturity practices One capability a program performs, scored on its own: See, Understand, Act, Prove, Govern and Culture.
- Leads to The kind of breach the evidence beneath it points toward, each anchored to a Verizon DBIR or VERIS pattern or an FBI IC3 category.
- NIST CSF 2.0
-
- DE.CM-01
- MITRE ATT&CK
-
- T1562.008
The definition, in detail
Definition
Its actions cannot be reconstructed after a failure or compromise.
Example
A ticket-triage agent closes 300 cases a week with its action log disabled to save storage; the SOC has no record of which cases it touched.
How it is measured
How it is used
Programs count "Agent runs without logging enabled" per ai agent from SIEM, SOAR & incident tickets and read it beside the other AI agents signals; it feeds 1 cohort, 0 sequences and 2 breach scenarios.
A "agent runs without logging enabled" event is evidence of behavior under pressure. It is one observed action, and on its own it is no proof of compromise.
