WinSentinel v1.9.0 — Security Compass & Predictive Analytics

What's New in v1.9.0

🧭 Security Compass (--compass)

Navigate your security posture with a compass-style directional analysis. Identifies the strongest and weakest security vectors across your system, giving you clear guidance on where to focus hardening efforts.

🔮 Security Prophecy (--prophecy)

Predictive threat forecasting powered by historical pattern analysis. Anticipates likely attack vectors and security events before they materialize, enabling proactive defense posture adjustments.

🎵 Security Rhythm Analyzer (--rhythm)

Detects cyclical patterns in security events — daily login surges, weekly backup windows, monthly patch cycles. Identifies anomalous deviations from established rhythms that may indicate compromise.

🤝 Security Negotiator (--negotiate)

Interactive conflict resolution for competing security policies. When hardening rules conflict (e.g., usability vs. lockdown), the negotiator evaluates trade-offs and suggests balanced configurations.

⚡ Performance

• Eliminated string allocations in ProcessMonitorModule hot-path \IsKnownAppDataApp\ and \IsExpectedSystemProcess\ checks — replaced \ToLowerInvariant()\ with \OrdinalIgnoreCase\ comparisons to reduce GC pressure on high-frequency WMI process start events.
