Operators are positioned to notice missing safing events and suppressed FDIR alerts; Annex 3.3.1 mechanism captures those operator escalations as the upstream feeder for the Annex 3.2.1 monitoring pipeline.
Downlink-disruption is operator-visible (telemetry pipelines empty, displays freeze, alerts queue); Annex 3.3.1 mechanism captures rapid operator reports that complement automated link-margin alerts.
Credentialed-evasion-class behaviour (off-hours activity by valid users, geographic anomalies, command-pattern deviations) is most reliably surfaced by colleagues noticing irregularities; Annex 3.3.1 mechanism is the upstream feeder for the Annex 3.2.1 monitoring this technique's primary mapping invokes.
Ransomware events are operator-visible (mission impact, encrypted files, denied access); Annex 3.3.1 requires a simple mechanism for employees to report suspicious events, which is the upstream feeder for the 3.4 assessment that classifies the event and triggers 3.5.1 response.
Wiper events leave operator-visible aftermath; Annex 3.3.1 mechanism is the upstream feeder that surfaces such suspicious events to assessment and incident-response procedures.
Compromised-ground-system exfiltration produces operator-visible signals (anomalous workstation behaviour, unexpected exports). Annex 3.3.1 mechanism captures employee escalation that complements automated egress monitoring; the technique's primary mapping to Annex 3.2.1 monitoring depends on those upstream human signals to separate routine from suspicious activity.
Ground-system intrusion produces operator-visible anomalies (unfamiliar logins, unexpected admin actions, screen-recorder behaviour); Annex 3.3.1 mechanism is the upstream feeder for the Annex 3.2.1 monitoring this technique already triggers.
Malicious commanding via valid GS produces command-history anomalies operators are positioned to spot; Annex 3.3.1 mechanism captures those reports and feeds the Annex 3.2.1 monitoring pipeline this technique's primary mapping invokes.
Operators are often the first to notice deception (telemetry that does not match expected behaviour); Annex 3.3.1 ensures they have a mechanism to escalate without friction, feeding 3.4 assessment.
Disruption is operator-visible; Annex 3.3.1 mechanism enables rapid employee escalation that feeds 3.4 assessment ahead of automated detection.
Denial is observable through operator-noticed loss of access; Annex 3.3.1 mechanism captures employee-side denial reports that complement automated link-margin detection.
Destruction is operator-visible (lost telemetry, missing assets); Annex 3.3.1 mechanism captures rapid employee escalation that feeds 3.4 assessment ahead of mission-impact analysis.
Persistent ground-system presence produces analyst-visible anomalies (off-hours activity, account-usage drift, unexpected service-account behaviour); Annex 3.3.1 mechanism captures those analyst reports as the upstream feeder for the Annex 3.2.1 monitoring already in place.
