Physical Countermeasures for ATT&CK Techniques

MITRE ATT&CK catalogues the techniques adversaries use. Firevault Control eliminates entire categories of those techniques by removing the network reachability they depend on. No path means no technique.

"Our threat hunting team spent six months tuning detection rules for lateral movement techniques. When we ran a red team exercise, they bypassed every rule using built-in Windows tools. We realised we were playing a game we could not win."

Prevention over detection for ATT&CK techniques.

Organisations shift from attempting to detect hundreds of ATT&CK techniques to physically preventing entire technique categories. Lateral movement between zones is impossible. Living-off-the-land techniques are irrelevant against physical boundaries. Recovery from impact techniques is guaranteed through air-gapped archives.

• Eliminate rather than detect lateral movement techniques
• Physical immunity to living-off-the-land approaches
• Prevent persistent access through time-limited path activation
• Defeat ransomware and data destruction through air-gapped backups
• Automated technique-to-module mapping documentation
• Complement existing detection with physical prevention

Technique Elimination

Rather than detecting techniques after execution, Control eliminates entire technique categories by removing the network paths they require.

Lateral Movement Prevention

Physical zone separation prevents all lateral movement techniques between zones, regardless of the tools or credentials used.

Living-Off-the-Land Immunity

Built-in tools and legitimate credentials cannot be used to cross physical zone boundaries, eliminating the primary advantage of sophisticated attackers.

Persistence Prevention

Time-limited access windows prevent persistent access techniques by physically deactivating paths between authorised sessions.

Technique Mapping Reports

Automated reports map Control module deployments to specific ATT&CK technique mitigations for risk assessment and audit.

Impact Technique Immunity

Air-gapped backups are immune to ransomware, data destruction, and recovery inhibition techniques that only affect network-connected systems.

Technique Exposure Assessment

Map your critical assets against ATT&CK techniques that rely on network reachability to identify where physical prevention provides the greatest risk reduction.

Prevention Architecture Design

Design physical zone boundaries that eliminate the highest-risk technique categories while maintaining operational functionality.

Red Team Validation

Deploy Control in a test environment and run a red team exercise to validate that physical boundaries defeat the techniques your detection cannot reliably catch.

Production Deployment

Full deployment with automated technique mapping, continuous prevention evidence, and air-gapped recovery for impact technique immunity.
