Contain Ransomware Through Physical Path Severance

Ransomware relies on network reachability to spread, encrypt, and extort. When the paths it depends on are physically severed, lateral movement stops. Recovery assets remain beyond reach.

73%

Of ransomware attacks involve lateral movement across network segments

From detection to complete path severance across all zones

"We had backups. We had immutable storage. We had network segmentation. The ransomware encrypted all of it because every system was reachable from every other system. Physical disconnection is the only thing that would have stopped it."

Containment Blueprint

Physical containment that ransomware cannot bypass.

Firevault Control provides the only ransomware containment that does not depend on the same network infrastructure the ransomware has compromised. Physical path severance stops lateral movement. Air-gapped recovery copies ensure restoration. Tamper-proof logging preserves the evidence chain.

• Physical path severance that stops lateral movement in seconds
• Air-gapped recovery copies beyond the reach of any network-based attack
• Pre-positioned physical segmentation that limits blast radius
• Multi-party authorisation for all recovery operations
• Tamper-proof forensic evidence on disconnected storage
• Automated compliance evidence for regulatory notification

Sub-Minute Severance

Physical path disconnection across all network zones completes within 90 seconds of an authorised command, stopping lateral movement faster than any software-based containment.

Unreachable Recovery Copies

Air-gapped backups stored in the Vault module are physically disconnected from all network infrastructure. Ransomware cannot encrypt what it cannot reach.

Pre-Positioned Segmentation

Network segments are physically separated during normal operations, limiting the blast radius before an incident occurs.

Multi-Party Authorisation

Emergency severance and recovery operations require multiple authorised parties, preventing a single compromised account from interfering with the response.

Tamper-Proof Forensics

All network path changes, access events, and recovery operations are logged to physically disconnected storage that cannot be altered by the attacker.

Regulatory Evidence

Automated compliance logging provides the evidence required for ICO notification, NIS2 incident reporting, and cyber insurance claims.

Step 1

Lateral Movement Audit

Map every network path that ransomware could traverse between segments, identifying backup infrastructure reachability and inter-site connections.

Step 2

Containment Architecture

Design physical segmentation zones with Fracture points at every critical boundary and air-gapped Vault positions for recovery assets.

Step 3

Tabletop Exercise

Simulate a ransomware detonation scenario with physical path severance, testing response times, multi-party authorisation, and recovery from air-gapped copies.

Step 4

Production Deployment

Deploy across all network zones with automated alerting integration, continuous compliance evidence generation, and scheduled recovery copy rotation.
