Abstract
The present disclosure relates generally to improved systems and methods for ensuring continued network security in a data network. More specifically, present embodiments are directed to detecting and responding to the failure of a security detection module employed for network security in the data network. A detection failure monitoring system may detect that a security detection module has failed by executing a number of test cases simulating conditions that should be flagged by the security detection module. To that end, when the detection failure monitoring system determines that a security detection module did not flag a condition produced by an executed test case, the detection failure monitoring system may implement a response to address the failed security detection module. Accordingly, the systems and techniques provided herein may maintain network security with improved granularity and robustness.
