Path governance set in hardware, so no software exploit can bypass it. [![FV-Firebreak](/assets/firebreak-icon-7zSCkB1t.png) ### FV-Firebreak Cut the path. Opens or closes connection paths in hardware to stop unauthorised access, contain threats and halt an attack mid-stride. Learn more about FV-Firebreak ](/control/modules/firebreak) [![FV-Isolate](/assets/isolate-icon-B9t8fl3o.png) ### FV-Isolate Separate the zones. Splits systems, networks and environments into controlled zones, so lateral movement has nowhere to go and trust boundaries hold. Learn more about FV-Isolate ](/control/modules/isolate) [![FV-Relay](/assets/relay-icon-CVhJDRO7.png) ### FV-Relay Open briefly. Allows connectivity only when it is needed, for a named purpose, under controlled conditions and inside a defined window. Learn more about FV-Relay ](/control/modules/relay) [![FV-Execute](/assets/execute-icon-kJl5Gtmk.png) ### FV-Execute Trigger the action. Carries out control actions when a policy, approval, schedule, alert, incident state or supervisory override calls for one. Learn more about FV-Execute ](/control/modules/execute) [![FV-Validate](/assets/vault-icon-CD3Pv4ri.png) ### FV-Validate Confirm the asset. Checks the asset, owner, authority and purpose before anything is accepted, accessed, moved or restored. Learn more about FV-Validate ](/control/modules/validate) [![FV-Archive](/assets/archive-icon-B3rc85NY.png) ### FV-Archive Preserve the asset. Keeps critical files, records and digital assets safe for recovery, retention, compliance, continuity and evidential proof. Learn more about FV-Archive ](/control/modules/archive) [![FV-Unlink](/assets/unlink-icon-B8GFAVW1.png) ### FV-Unlink Remove the exposure. Removes persistent connections, live dependencies, sync paths and inherited trust that quietly keep sensitive assets in reach. Learn more about FV-Unlink ](/control/modules/unlink) [![FV-Lock](/assets/lock-icon-UU3vOaKE.png) ### FV-Lock Restrict access. Restricts access through identity, authority, policy, permission and operational controls. Learn more about FV-Lock ](/control/modules/lock) [![FV-Transfer](/assets/transfer-icon-DqGa0PQI.png) ### FV-Transfer Move under control. Governs how sensitive assets move into, out of or between protected environments. Approved paths, defined windows, verified authority.
