**RCA - Cascading Service Failure – 12-15-2025**  **Incident date:** December 15, 2025 **Duration:** ~90 minutes **Severity:** SEV-1 **Services affected:** Polaris platform services  **Summary**  On December 15, 2025, we experienced a significant service disruption caused by a cascading failure across multiple internal systems.  A brief loss of network connectivity \(leadership\) in our Vault cluster triggered restart loops in dependent services. Automated scaling amplified those restarts, resulting in a surge of database connections that overloaded our CockroachDB cluster. This caused elevated latency and service unavailability across a majority of tenants.  No customer data was lost.  Fortunately, improvements made with a new EKS cluster with GitOps methodology, engineering was able to quickly gain details on the various impacted services and formulate a deep understanding of what was occurring. This lead to a faster recovery time, while also leading to more informed action items as an outcome.  **What happened**  At approximately 1:25 PM PST, Vault lost its active leader following a transient internal connectivity issue. Vault itself was not under resource pressure, but several application services depended on Vault being continuously available.  When Vault became unavailable:  * Twilight and other dependent services failed health checks  * Those services entered restart loops  * Kubernetes autoscaling rapidly increased pod counts, overloading cluster  * The resulting connection storm overloaded CockroachDB  Once CockroachDB was saturated, Vault could not recover cleanly, prolonging the incident until manual intervention reduced system load.  The combination of the overloaded cluster and CockroachDB led to the new cluster's improved self healing and auto recovery being blocked.  **Impact**  During the incident window:  * Requests across all tenants experienced increased latency or failure  * Services depending on CockroachDB were degraded  * **New workloads were unable to schedule due to cluster pressure**  Customer-facing services were restored once database load and service mass restarts returned to normal levels.  **Timeline**  * **All times PST.**  * **1:25 PM –** Vault loses leader following internal connectivity disruption  * **1:27 PM –** Twilight health checks begin failing; pods restart repeatedly  * **1:28 PM –** Autoscaling increases pod counts to maximum limits  * **1:28 PM –** CockroachDB CPU and connection counts spike sharply  * **1:37 PM –** Operations team begins investigation into alert spikes  * **1:50 PM –** Support updates slack with incoming support tickets  * **1:55 PM –** Support/Operations declare official incident, Zoom meeting occurs, StatusPage updated  * **2:10 PM –** CockroachDB scaled to stabilize database performance  * **2:30 PM –** Vault recovers after database stabilization  * **2:35 PM –** Affected services manually scaled down to alleviate cluster pressure due to HPA  * **2:45 PM – Platform fully recovered, services return to typical state**    **Vault leadership loss**  Vault lost its leader early in the incident window. While brief, this event disrupted secret retrieval for dependent services. Vault was not CPU or memory constrained; the failure mode was related leadership and internal connectivity.  **Dependency failure**  Twilight services required continuous Vault connectivity to operate. When Vault became unavailable, those services were unable to start successfully. This hard dependency prevented graceful degradation and contributed directly to restart loops.  **Service restart amplification**  Twilight services repeatedly restarted after losing access to Vault. Autoscaling responded to these restarts by rapidly increasing replica counts. Rather than restoring availability, this behavior amplified load across the cluster.  **CockroachDB saturation**  The surge in restart activity and autoscaled pods caused a sustained spike in database CPU usage and connection counts. This saturation increased query latency and prevented dependent systems from recovering automatically.  **Root cause**  This incident resulted from multiple conditions interacting:  * **Hard dependency on continuous Vault availability -** Services failed rather than degrading when secrets could not be retrieved.  * **Overly permissive autoscaling limits** - Default HPA maximums allowed rapid scaling beyond operational needs.  * **Shared database cluster infrastructure overload** - The resulting connection storm overwhelmed CockroachDB, blocking recovery.  Individually, none of these issues would have caused a platform-wide outage. Together, they resulted in a cascading failure.  ‌ **What we’re changing**  We are making the following _improvements_:  _Application architecture_  * Remove hard dependencies on continuous Vault availability \(Github PR created, in review\)  * Ensure secrets are retrieved and held securely at startup \(Github PR created, in review\)  * Prevent expensive startup operations from running on every restart, no longer running on every pod restart, but once per major maintenance \(Github PR created, in review\)  _Infrastructure configuration_  * Reduce autoscaling maximums to realistic service-specific limits \(To be updated 12/16 overnight\)  * Isolate Vault onto a dedicated database backend \(In Progress\)  * Review usage of Vault, reduce dependency by moving to alternative solution \(K8s secrets with SOPs\)  _Resilience and monitoring_  * Update health checks so non-critical failures do not trigger restarts \(PR created, in review\)  * Add safeguards to prevent database overload during restart storms  * Expand failure-mode testing in lower environments  * Multi-Region Hot Standby \(In Progress, Available Q2 2026\)  ‌ **Closing**  A brief disruption in a single component should not cascade into a platform-wide incident. This event highlighted areas where coupling and automated responses amplified failure instead of containing it.  While we have made vast improvements to our overall infrastructure over the last few months \(adopting GitOps, creating a new cluster with improved monitoring and core services, increased metric and log gathering and retention, eliminating any manual changes, etc\) we are addressing those gaps and strengthening the platform to improve resilience going forward.  We will be scheduling a maintenance window within the next two weeks to implement immediate remediation action items, while hot standby will lead to further improvements and failover within minutes once available. These immediate changes \(due to deep RCA provided by improved cluster telemetry\) coupled with the multi-region hot standby live in Q2 will prevent the underlying causes of the recent incidents.

**RCA - Intermittent Mobile Service issues - 12.05.2025** **Issue Description:** On December 5, 2025, a subset of customers experienced intermittent disruptions affecting the Push-2-Accept and TOTP multi-factor authentication \(MFA\) methods for end users. **Cause:** At approximately 5:00PM PST on December 5, 2025, an update was applied to the nginx ingress routing configuration for a specific tenant. Due to the complexity of the tenant’s ingress rules, the change exceeded nginx’s processing capacity, resulting in performance degradation and intermittent routing failures. Consequently, a small portion of network traffic could not be serviced, causing intermittent MFA issues for a small percentage of customers. **Recovery:** The ingress configuration changes were rolled back, restoring nginx to a stable state and resolving the affected MFA functionality. **Corrective Actions:** * The tenant with highly complex ingress routing requirements will be migrated to a dedicated custom deployment to prevent similar issues in the future.

**RCA – Cloud Services Outage/RDS Failure - October 23, 2025** **Problem Description:** On October 23, 2025, at 12:30 PM PDT, SecureAuth’s Cloud infrastructure experienced degradation of the IP risk evaluation service, which by around 2:00 PM PDT, escalated into widespread database connection issues, affecting multiple cloud services and resulted in authentication failures for impacted customers. A gradual rolling restart of all single tenant services in batches restored services, leading to a full recovery at 4:00 PM PDT. **Cause:** The incident originated with an unbounded increase in the IP risk evaluation service traffic \(ipintelsvc\) to the production database. The resulting proliferation of concurrent, heavy-query sessions overwhelmed the shared Aurora RDS cluster, including the segment serving the Vault secret-storage service. Loss of database connectivity led to a Vault crash and downstream failures in dependent services. **Recovery:** The DevOps and Engineering teams initiated resolution efforts by scaling down the IP risk evaluation service traffic \(ipintelsvc\), which led to RDS CPU and connection metrics gradually decreasing, allowing auxiliary vault services to come back up. A rolling restart was then performed for all customer service deployments, in a gradual batched fashion. **Timeline:** October 23, 2025 * 12:45 PM PDT – Alerts triggered for spikes for two customers * 1:08 PM PDT – DevOps and Engineering teams begin investigation * 1:13 PM PDT – First Support ticket received regarding outage * 1:30 PM PDT – ipintelsvc logs confirm spike * 1:45 PM PDT – ipintelsvc scaled down * 2:00 PM PDT – Cleanup of lingering sessions in progress * 2:05 PM PDT – Vault Polaris service recovered * 2:15 PM PDT – Rolling restart of all customer services begins * 3:15 PM PDT – Near full recovery confirmed, with a small batch requiring manual intervention * 4:00 PM PDT – Full recovery confirmed **Corrective Actions:** * Software updates to the infrastructure and backend services to improve performance and security will be scheduled during a change maintenance window for customers on a weekly cadence. * Further enhancements leading to the separation and resilience of single tenant services will be made, eliminating the risk of the cascading restart requirement, and decoupling from the shared services RDS. This infrastructure has already been implemented and applied in Dev and Test SecureAuth Cloud environments, and we are starting to roll it out in Production. If there is a preference to be placed on a priority list to have the updates performed to your tenant, please reach out to your CSM or Support and we will work on prioritizing a change window for your organization.
