Threat Response

Eliminate Insider Threat Through Physical Access Governance

Insider threats exploit the persistent connectivity that organisations grant to trusted users. When access paths are physically removed outside operational windows, the opportunity for misuse ceases to exist.

Control

Threat Response

You cannot detect your way out of an insider threat when the insider has legitimate access. The only defence is to ensure the access path does not exist outside the window when it is needed.

The Threat

Trusted access is the most dangerous attack surface.

Persistent Privileged Access

Administrators and privileged users maintain always-on access to critical systems. Even when they are not working, their credentials can reach sensitive infrastructure through paths that never close.

Detection Difficulty

Insider actions appear legitimate because they use authorised credentials on authorised systems. Traditional monitoring struggles to distinguish malicious activity from normal operations.

Extended Dwell Time

Insiders operate slowly and deliberately, exfiltrating data in small increments over months. By the time anomalous behaviour is detected, the damage is already extensive.

The Scenario

Scenario: Privileged Administrator Data Exfiltration

A database administrator at a financial services firm gives notice after being passed over for promotion. Over the following four weeks, they access customer databases during quiet evening hours, exporting records in small batches that fall below data loss prevention thresholds. Their access is legitimate, their credentials are valid, and their queries look routine. With Firevault Control, the database management path is physically severed outside business hours. The administrator's credentials remain valid, but the network path to the database infrastructure does not exist between 19:00 and 07:00. Access during business hours requires multi-party authorisation through the Lock module, with every session recorded on physically disconnected storage.

"Our DLP flagged nothing. Our SIEM flagged nothing. The queries were within normal parameters. The only thing that would have stopped it was removing the path entirely when it was not needed."

Mitigation Blueprint

Remove the opportunity, not just the detection.

Firevault Control eliminates insider threat by removing the persistent access paths that insiders depend on. Access exists only during authorised windows, requires multiple parties to approve, and produces tamper-proof evidence on physically disconnected storage.

  • Zero standing access to critical infrastructure
  • Multi-party authorisation for every administrative session
  • Physical path severance outside operational windows
  • Tamper-proof session recording on disconnected storage
  • Credential isolation from production network paths
  • Complete evidence chain for regulatory and legal proceedings
Unlink

Unlink — Session and Credential Isolation

Module 1 of 4

Separates administrative credentials from production network paths. Even valid credentials cannot reach systems when the physical connection between the management workstation and the target infrastructure has been removed.

Key Capabilities

Time-Bound Access

Administrative paths to critical systems exist only during authorised windows. Outside these windows, physical disconnection removes the path entirely.

Multi-Party Authorisation

No single credential holder can activate a path to sensitive infrastructure. Two or more authorised parties must approve every access session.

Immutable Session Recording

Every keystroke, query, and data transfer during an authorised session is recorded on physically disconnected storage that the user cannot access or modify.

Credential Isolation

Administrative credentials are separated from the network paths they govern. Compromised or misused credentials cannot reach systems when the path is severed.

Zero Standing Access

No user maintains persistent connectivity to critical systems. Every session is explicitly authorised, time-bound, and automatically terminated.

Behavioural Baseline Evidence

Tamper-proof logs on disconnected storage provide the evidence needed for disciplinary proceedings, regulatory reporting, and criminal prosecution.

Adoption Guide

Step 1

Privileged Access Audit

Map every user, service account, and credential that maintains persistent access to critical systems, identifying standing privileges that exceed operational requirements.

Step 2

Access Window Design

Define time-bound operational windows for each critical system, with multi-party authorisation requirements and session recording policies.

Step 3

Controlled Pilot

Deploy on a single critical system with full session recording, testing the multi-party authorisation workflow and emergency access procedures.

Step 4

Enterprise Rollout

Extend to all critical infrastructure with automated window management, tamper-proof logging, and integration with existing identity governance platforms.
