CP-01 topology

How CP-01 stops the kill chain.

A FIRE-led pattern. The path between any compromised zone and the crown jewels is severed by default, opened only as a named event, and severed again on alert.

Grounded in MITRE ATT&CK TA0008, IEC 62443-3-3 SR 5.1 and NCSC ransomware guidance.

03How it reads end to end

The Blueprint in full.

Firebreak physically breaks the connection path. Isolate separates the affected environment. Execute triggers the control action the moment risk is detected. Unlink removes the persistent dependencies and Lock holds the crown jewels behind identity controls that ransomware cannot reach.
