Physical isolation.No software required.

FireBreak by Goldilock is built into every Planck Red Q Series deployment. When an incident hits, one SMS command physically severs your network โ€” no compromised OS, no software firewall, no way in.

How It Integrates

Standard equipment in every Q Series rack.

FireBreak is not an add-on you procure separately. It ships pre-integrated into every Q Series deployment as part of the sovereign security layer โ€” wired, tested, and ready before your first workload goes live.

๐Ÿ”Œ

Pre-wired into every Q Series rack

FireBreak ships as a standard component of every Planck Red Q Series deployment. It sits at the network perimeter, pre-wired, pre-configured, and ready to act โ€” no separate procurement, no integration effort from the customer.

๐Ÿ“ฑ

SMS-triggered isolation โ€” no internet required

An SMS command with 2FA/OTP triggers physical disconnection of up to 12 network ports. Critically, this works even when your internet connection is down or compromised โ€” the control channel is independent of the network being isolated.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

Zero-software attack surface during isolation

When FireBreak activates, there is no signal path โ€” not even a protocol to attack. This remains effective even if your OS, hypervisor, and entire software stack have been compromised.

โš™๏ธ

Per-port control: normally-on or normally-off

Each of the 12 ports can be independently configured. Q Series management traffic stays up while customer workload traffic is isolated โ€” production and management planes remain independently controllable throughout an incident.

Where It Sits in the Stack

The security layer below everything else.

FireBreak operates at Layer 1 โ€” below the OS, below the hypervisor, below every software stack that can be compromised. It is the only control that works when everything else has failed.

Survive ransomware without losing control

When ransomware hits, FireBreak lets you isolate in seconds โ€” even from a personal phone โ€” without needing access to any compromised system.

๐Ÿ“‹

Meet the strictest air-gap requirements

Defence contracts, CNI regulations, and sovereign cloud mandates require verifiable physical isolation. FireBreak provides auditable Layer 1 disconnect events with full timestamped logs.

๐Ÿ—๏ธ

Business continuity through physical control

Isolate compromised segments without shutting down the entire facility. Ring-fence an incident to one segment while the rest of the data center stays operational.

๐Ÿ“Š

Compliance-grade audit trail

Every FireBreak event is logged with identity, OTP token, and timestamp โ€” feeding directly into incident response reports and compliance documentation.

Applicable Scenarios

Where FireBreak protects your Planck Red deployment.

Ransomware emergency response
Isolate infected segments from healthy ones in under 30 seconds without touching a keyboard on any compromised host.
Sovereign defence installations
Meet verifiable air-gap requirements for classified workloads โ€” physical proof of isolation, not just software attestation.
OT and SCADA protection
Keep operational technology networks isolated from IT by default; connect only when explicitly required with two-factor authorisation.
BFSI failsafe controls
Emergency isolation for trading systems, core banking, or payment infrastructure without dependency on potentially compromised firewalls.
Multi-tenant isolation assurance
Hardware-enforced tenant separation in co-located Q Series environments that no software misconfiguration can compromise.
Incident response drills
Validate your incident response playbook with real physical isolation tests before you ever need it in anger.
