FV-Relay: Time-Bound Connection Windows

Most network connections are active 24/7 but used for a fraction of that time. Relay activates paths only during authorised windows and physically severs them when the window closes, eliminating the idle exposure that attackers exploit.

95%

Reduction in connection exposure time for governed paths

Zero

Idle connections outside authorised windows

Automated

Path activation and severance on schedule

100%

Session activity logged on tamper-proof storage

"Our vendor had a VPN that was active 24/7/365. They used it for 4 hours every quarter. Relay reduced our exposure from 8,760 hours per year to 16."

Connections that exist only when they are needed.

FV-Relay transforms always-on connections into policy-governed windows. Paths are physically activated only during authorised periods, require multi-party approval, and produce tamper-proof evidence of all activity. Between windows, the connection does not exist.

• Physical path activation only during authorised windows
• Multi-party approval before any connection is established
• Automatic physical severance when windows close
• Emergency extension with fresh authorisation
• Complete session recording on disconnected storage
• Dramatic reduction in connection exposure time

Scheduled Windows

Define recurring or one-time connection windows with precise start and end times. The physical path activates and severs automatically on schedule.

Multi-Party Gating

Window activation requires approval from the configured number of authorised parties before the physical path is established.

Automatic Severance

When a window closes, the physical path is severed regardless of session status. No connection persists beyond its authorised window.

Emergency Extension

If work overruns, an authorised extension request can extend the window. Extensions require fresh multi-party approval and are logged separately.

Window Activity Logging

All activity during each window is recorded on physically disconnected storage, providing a complete audit trail for each session.

Compliance Evidence

Automated reports document connection exposure times, authorisation chains, and session activities for regulatory and contractual compliance.
