Protect Infrastructure Through Management Plane Isolation

When an attacker reaches the management plane, they control everything. Physical separation between management interfaces and production networks ensures that compromise of one does not mean compromise of all.

Administrative sessions on tamper-proof audit trail

"They owned our firewall for three weeks. Every log, every alert, every rule was under their control. We did not know because the first thing they did was disable the monitoring from the management plane."

Management plane security through physical isolation.

Firevault Control places management interfaces on physically separate infrastructure that cannot be reached from production networks. Administrative access is time-bound, multi-party authorised, and produces tamper-proof evidence. When the management plane is physically isolated, compromise of the production network does not give an attacker the keys to the kingdom.

• Physical separation between management and production planes
• Multi-party authorisation for all administrative sessions
• Credential isolation that prevents misuse from production paths
• Emergency management plane lockdown in seconds
• Tamper-proof configuration change history
• Direct compliance mapping to ISO 27001 and NIS2 requirements

Physical Plane Separation

Management and production traffic exist on physically separate networks. No VLAN, no firewall rule, no ACL. Separate physical infrastructure.

Controlled Management Access

Administrative sessions require multi-party authorisation and are confined to time-bound windows with full session recording.

Credential Isolation

Administrative credentials are bound to the management plane network. They cannot be used from production network paths even if compromised.

Emergency Lockdown

A single authorised command physically severs all management plane access, preserving production operations with the current configuration.

Immutable Configuration History

Every configuration change is recorded on physically disconnected storage, providing a tamper-proof audit trail and rollback capability.

Compliance Evidence

Physical management plane separation maps directly to ISO 27001, NIS2, and NIST CSF requirements for administrative access control.

Management Plane Audit

Map every management interface, administrative path, and credential that can reach network infrastructure management from the production network.

Plane Separation Design

Design physically separate management and production networks with controlled access points, multi-party authorisation requirements, and session recording policies.

Core Infrastructure Pilot

Deploy management plane isolation for core network infrastructure (firewalls, core switches), testing administrative workflows and emergency lockdown procedures.

Full Infrastructure Deployment

Extend to all managed infrastructure with automated session governance, tamper-proof logging, and continuous compliance evidence generation.
