FV-Fracture: Emergency Network Severance

When a breach is detected, every second of continued connectivity is a second the attacker uses to spread. Fracture physically disconnects network segments within seconds, stopping lateral movement by removing the paths it depends on.

"We practised our containment playbook quarterly. It took 22 minutes to execute under ideal conditions. Fracture did it in 87 seconds with no room for human error."

Module Overview

Emergency containment that attackers cannot bypass.

FV-Fracture is the emergency response module of Firevault Control. It provides physical network severance within seconds, absolute containment with no logical bypass, and controlled restoration through the Relay module. When every second counts, Fracture provides the certainty that software-based containment cannot.

• Physical disconnection that stops all lateral movement
• Multi-party authorisation preventing accidental activation
• Sub-minute severance across all configured zones
• Automated SIEM integration for machine-speed response
• Controlled, individual path restoration during recovery
• Tamper-proof logging of all containment actions

Sub-Minute Severance

Physical disconnection of all configured network zones completes within 90 seconds of an authorised command, regardless of network size or complexity.

Absolute Containment

No logical bypass is possible. The physical connection between network segments is removed, making lateral movement impossible regardless of the attacker's privilege level.

Multi-Party Authorisation

Fracture activation requires authorisation from multiple designated parties, preventing accidental or malicious activation by a single compromised account.

Automated Trigger Integration

Fracture can be triggered automatically by SIEM alerts, SOC playbooks, or custom detection rules, reducing response time from human reaction speed to machine speed.

Full Event Logging

Every activation, the identity of authorising parties, and all subsequent path changes are recorded on tamper-proof, physically disconnected storage.

Controlled Restoration

After containment, paths are restored individually through the Relay module with multi-party authorisation, ensuring no cross-contamination during recovery.

Step 1

Zone Boundary Mapping

Identify every network boundary where emergency severance would be required during an incident, mapping inter-site, inter-segment, and external connections.

Step 2

Authorisation Framework

Define the multi-party authorisation requirements, automated trigger conditions, and escalation procedures for Fracture activation.

Step 3

Tabletop and Live Test

Conduct tabletop exercises followed by live severance tests on non-production segments to validate response times and restoration procedures.

Step 4

Production Deployment

Deploy across all configured zones with SIEM integration, automated triggers for high-confidence detections, and quarterly live testing.
