MITRE ATT&CK

Physical Countermeasures for ATT&CK Techniques

MITRE ATT&CK catalogues the techniques adversaries use. Firevault Control eliminates entire categories of those techniques by removing the network reachability they depend on. No path means no technique.

MITRE ATT&CK

You cannot detect what you have prevented. Physical path removal eliminates entire categories of ATT&CK techniques before they can be attempted.

The Detection Gap

Detection alone cannot stop sophisticated adversaries.

Technique Volume

ATT&CK catalogues hundreds of techniques. Organisations cannot maintain effective detection rules for every technique across every system.

Lateral Movement

Once inside a network, adversaries move laterally using legitimate tools and protocols that evade detection systems designed to spot malware.

Living Off the Land

Sophisticated attackers use built-in operating system tools and legitimate credentials, making their activity indistinguishable from normal operations.

The Scenario

Scenario: Living-Off-the-Land Attack Defeated by Path Removal

An advanced threat actor compromises a corporate workstation and uses built-in Windows tools, PowerShell, WMI, and RDP, to move laterally towards the SCADA network. Every tool they use is legitimate. Every credential they leverage is valid. No malware is deployed. Detection systems see only normal administrative activity. After three weeks, they reach the boundary of the OT network. With Firevault Control, the OT network is physically disconnected from corporate IT. The attacker's living-off-the-land techniques are irrelevant because the network path to the target does not exist. No detection was needed. The path was simply not there.

"Our threat hunting team spent six months tuning detection rules for lateral movement techniques. When we ran a red team exercise, they bypassed every rule using built-in Windows tools. We realised we were playing a game we could not win."

Framework Mapping

Prevention over detection for ATT&CK techniques.

Organisations shift from attempting to detect hundreds of ATT&CK techniques to physically preventing entire technique categories. Lateral movement between zones is impossible. Living-off-the-land techniques are irrelevant against physical boundaries. Recovery from impact techniques is guaranteed through air-gapped archives.

  • Eliminate rather than detect lateral movement techniques
  • Physical immunity to living-off-the-land approaches
  • Prevent persistent access through time-limited path activation
  • Defeat ransomware and data destruction through air-gapped backups
  • Automated technique-to-module mapping documentation
  • Complement existing detection with physical prevention
Fracture

Fracture — Eliminate Lateral Movement Paths

Module 1 of 4

Physically removes the network paths that lateral movement techniques depend on. T1021 (Remote Services), T1570 (Lateral Tool Transfer), and T1080 (Taint Shared Content) are eliminated when the path between zones does not exist.

Key Capabilities

Technique Elimination

Rather than detecting techniques after execution, Control eliminates entire technique categories by removing the network paths they require.

Lateral Movement Prevention

Physical zone separation prevents all lateral movement techniques between zones, regardless of the tools or credentials used.

Living-Off-the-Land Immunity

Built-in tools and legitimate credentials cannot be used to cross physical zone boundaries, eliminating the primary advantage of sophisticated attackers.

Persistence Prevention

Time-limited access windows prevent persistent access techniques by physically deactivating paths between authorised sessions.

Technique Mapping Reports

Automated reports map Control module deployments to specific ATT&CK technique mitigations for risk assessment and audit.

Impact Technique Immunity

Air-gapped backups are immune to ransomware, data destruction, and recovery inhibition techniques that only affect network-connected systems.

Adoption Guide

Step 1

Technique Exposure Assessment

Map your critical assets against ATT&CK techniques that rely on network reachability to identify where physical prevention provides the greatest risk reduction.

Step 2

Prevention Architecture Design

Design physical zone boundaries that eliminate the highest-risk technique categories while maintaining operational functionality.

Step 3

Red Team Validation

Deploy Control in a test environment and run a red team exercise to validate that physical boundaries defeat the techniques your detection cannot reliably catch.

Step 4

Production Deployment

Full deployment with automated technique mapping, continuous prevention evidence, and air-gapped recovery for impact technique immunity.
