Nexus Architecture
High-Level Explanation
Nyxera Nexus coordinates execution control and evidence validation as a single architecture composed of an offensive execution layer, a validation layer, and enterprise consumption services.
Logical Architecture
- Execution domain: operator intent, policy evaluation, wrapper invocation, telemetry generation
- Validation domain: payload verification, normalization, enrichment, correlation, evidence indexing
- Consumption domain: dashboards, APIs, compliance exports, GRC connectors
Physical Architecture
- Edge execution nodes for SpectraStrike workloads
- Ingestion and correlation clusters for VectorVue
- Segmented storage tiers for hot evidence, audit archives, and governance exports
Control Plane vs Data Plane
- Control plane: policy distribution, configuration signing, identity/authorization, tenant governance
- Data plane: wrapper output, signed telemetry payloads, evidence correlation records
Trust Boundaries
- Operator boundary: authenticated execution requests only
- Wrapper boundary: signed wrapper manifests and runtime integrity checks
- Telemetry boundary: signed payload verification and replay resistance
- Tenant boundary: strict namespace and storage segregation
