Detections represent automated findings from ChainPatrol's continuous monitoring across the internet.

ChainPatrol detects threats across multiple languages. The system uses LLM-based cross-language recognition to classify non-English threats. Some detection rules are English-specific, so non-English threats identified through LLM recognition may not always reach the confidence threshold for automatic blocking — but they will be correctly classified for auto-reporting at minimum. Auto-reported non-English threats enter the review queue where human reviewers can make the final call on whether to block or allow the asset.

### Components of a Detection

- Detection is the entry point, not the decision: A detection indicates potential threat, but review and approval are required before blocking to prevent false positives
- Group IDs reveal campaign scope: When one detection links to multiple related assets, you can identify and report entire phishing campaigns instead of blocking sites one at a time
- Threshold configuration balances coverage and noise: Lower thresholds catch more threats but require more review, while higher thresholds miss edge cases but reduce workload
- Deduplication across sources increases confidence: When multiple independent detection sources flag the same asset, it provides stronger evidence of malicious intent

Detection sources are automated monitoring systems that continuously scan the internet for potential threats to your brand. Each source monitors a specific platform or data stream, searching for suspicious assets that may be impersonating your organization or attempting to defraud your users.

<Note>ChainPatrol's detection system supports cross-language threat recognition. Using LLM-based analysis, the system can classify threats in non-English languages. While some detection rules primarily consider English words, non-English threats are still identified and auto-reported for human review, ensuring global coverage for your brand protection.</Note>

## How Detection Sources Work

Detection sources operate on automated schedules, running searches across various platforms using your organization's **included terms** (brand names, products, keywords you want to monitor) and **excluded terms** (legitimate domains you want to filter out). When a source finds a potential threat, it automatically submits the asset for analysis through ChainPatrol's threat detection pipeline.
