# Path Governance for Transaction Networks and Trading Floors 

Financial institutions operate networks where milliseconds matter and a single breach can move billions. Payment systems, trading infrastructure, and SWIFT connections demand physical path governance that software alone cannot provide.

-   SWIFT-targeted intrusions
-   Payment card data theft
-   Trading floor manipulation
-   Ransomware in core banking

The Challenge 

## Financial networks are high-value targets.

01 

### SWIFT and Payment Risks

SWIFT infrastructure and payment processing systems are prime targets for sophisticated attackers seeking direct financial gain through fraudulent transactions.

02 

### Trading Floor Exposure

Trading systems require ultra-low latency connectivity that conflicts with traditional security controls, creating gaps that attackers exploit.

03 

### Third-Party Connectivity

Correspondent banking, market data providers, and fintech integrations create persistent network paths into core financial infrastructure.

Banking

> When payment systems and trading infrastructure are reachable through the same network paths as email and web browsing, every phishing email becomes a potential path to fraudulent transactions worth millions.

The Scenario

### Scenario: SWIFT Infrastructure Compromise

Attackers compromise an employee workstation through a targeted phishing campaign and move laterally over four weeks until they reach the SWIFT Alliance Lite2 server. They install custom malware that intercepts and modifies SWIFT messages, submitting fraudulent payment instructions during a bank holiday weekend. The fraud totals over forty million pounds before detection. With Control, the SWIFT infrastructure exists on a physically separated network. Employee workstations cannot reach SWIFT systems because the network path does not exist. Payment message submission requires multi-party authorisation with physical path activation.

"The attackers were in our network for 28 days. They moved from a marketing workstation to the SWIFT server in seven lateral hops. Each hop crossed a firewall boundary that should have stopped them. None did."

Module deployment · bank network 

## Where each Control module is deployed across customers, core banking, payments and vendors.

Banks layer the estate around the cardholder data environment: an internet edge, a perimeter, an identity tier, applications, and the core ledger and payments environments. Control puts a real boundary at every change of trust.

Grounded in PCI DSS v4 network segmentation guidance, ISO 27001 Annex A, FFIEC and PRA SS1/21.

### Where each module is deployed, and what it does there.

One row per module. Placement on the network, then plain-English purpose at that point.

1.  ![FV-Firebreak module icon](/assets/firebreak-icon-7zSCkB1t.png)
    
    Firebreak
    
    On the B0 to B1 link and the vendor link
    
    Real hardware off switches on the public and vendor boundaries, with vendor connectivity opened only for named work.
    
2.  ![FV-Validate module icon](/assets/vault-icon-CD3Pv4ri.png)
    
    Validate
    
    On the B0 to B1 link, the B1 to B2 link and the B3 to B4 link
    
    Requests crossing into trusted estates are checked for origin, integrity and authority before they reach an account or a ledger.
    
3.  ![FV-Isolate module icon](/assets/isolate-icon-B9t8fl3o.png)
    
    Isolate
    
    On the B1 to B2, B3 to B4 and B4 to B5 links
    
    Identity, core and payments sit on their own physical fabrics, in line with PCI segmentation expectations.
    
4.  ![FV-Lock module icon](/assets/lock-icon-UU3vOaKE.png)
    
    Lock
    
    On the B2 to B3 link and the B4 to B5 link
    
    Privileged access ties to named identities with the right entitlement. Standing access is the exception.
    
5.  ![FV-Execute module icon](/assets/execute-icon-kJl5Gtmk.png)
    
    Execute
    
    On the B2 to B3 link and the B4 to B5 link
    
    Cross-system actions require approval in line. Execute holds the action until that approval is in place.
    
6.  ![FV-Relay module icon](/assets/relay-icon-CVhJDRO7.png)
    
    Relay
    
    On the vendor link
    
    Vendor and fintech access opens for the window of work and not a minute more.
    
7.  ![FV-Unlink module icon](/assets/unlink-icon-B8GFAVW1.png)
    
    Unlink
    
    On the vendor link
    
    When a vendor relationship ends, Unlink removes the persistent connection and the inherited trust.

Capabilities

## What you get with every deployment

01 

### Sovereign Financial Data

All payment system configurations and transaction data remain within the agreed jurisdiction in NATO-approved Firevault Bunkers.

02 

### Dual-Control Access

All access to payment and trading infrastructure requires authorisation from both operations and information security teams.

03 

### DORA Compliance

Automated compliance logging maps directly to DORA operational resilience requirements and PCI DSS network segmentation controls.

04 

### Independent Communications

Out-of-band management ensures control plane access to financial systems independent of the corporate network.

05 

### Regulatory Audit Trail

Every access, transaction, and authorisation decision is recorded in tamper-proof logs meeting FCA and PRA evidence requirements.

06 

### Verified Configuration Baselines

Verified baselines of financial system configuration enable restoration of control-plane state during total compromise scenarios.
