Build Boundaries That Keep Compromise Contained

Native enforces hard segmentation between zones through provider-native controls, simulates the impact, and holds the boundaries across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and OCI, so a compromise can't spread.

Keep Incidents Contained by Design

When something is compromised, the real question is how far it can reach. Without hard segmentation, one foothold becomes lateral movement across the estate. Native models your cloud into zones and enforces the boundaries between them at the architecture layer, so a compromise stays contained where it started.

The Problem

Too Many Cloud Paths Stay Open by Default

Production and non-production share paths they shouldn't. A role in one account can assume into another. Without enforced boundaries between zones, an attacker who lands anywhere can move everywhere, and most environments don't even have a clear map of which paths actually exist.

feature 1

The Enforcement

Build Boundaries the Cloud Actually Enforces

Define the segmentation you want, between production and staging, between accounts, between zones, and Native compiles it into provider-native controls that enforce it. Destructive actions are restricted, cross-zone paths are closed. Production and staging don't share a path, because the architecture doesn't permit one.

feature 2

Confidence

Know What Breaks Before You Close the Path

Native replays historical activity across zones against the proposed segmentation, so you know which legitimate paths would be affected before anything ships, and in what rollout order. After deployment, Native tracks drift, so the boundaries hold as new accounts and workloads appear.

Go Deeper: Architecture for Active Defense in the Cloud

This solution is one layer of a larger architecture. The ebook maps the whole thing: actors and zones, boundaries and baselines, and how perimeter, segmentation, and baseline controls compile into provider-native enforcement across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and OCI.

Active Defense, Answered

Blast radius containment is the practice of limiting how far a compromise can spread. You divide the cloud into zones, production, non-production, sensitive workloads, and enforce hard boundaries between them, so an attacker or a faulty agent that lands in one zone can't move laterally into the others. It's the segmentation layer of cloud architecture, and it's what turns a single incident into a contained one instead of an estate-wide one.

Native models your cloud into zones and maps the access paths between them, then compiles the segmentation you define into provider-native controls: cross-account and cross-zone paths closed, destructive actions restricted, encryption required at boundaries. Enforcement lives at the cloud control plane, so the boundary holds regardless of how a workload tries to cross it, and Native simulates the impact before any boundary goes live.

Network controls like security groups and subnets segment traffic, but lateral movement in the cloud often happens through identity and the control plane, not the network: a role assuming into another account, a service reaching data it shouldn't. Native enforces boundaries at the architecture layer across identity, services, and actions, not just network paths, so containment covers the routes a network-only approach misses. The two are complementary.

Yes. You define the zones and boundaries once, and Native enforces them through each provider's own primitives across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and OCI. Because intent is separated from implementation, a single segmentation model holds consistently across providers instead of being rebuilt per cloud, so containment doesn't fall apart at the seams between them.

No. Code and CI/CD scanners evaluate resources one at a time: is this bucket public, does this role carry a wildcard, is this instance unencrypted. They check each resource against a rule in isolation. Segmentation isn't a property of any single resource, though. It lives in the relationships between accounts, identities, and services, and in where an attacker can move between them. A scanner can flag an over-permissioned role, but it can't tell you that role opens a path from your non-production zone straight into production, because that path only exists in the architecture, not in the resource definition. Native models those paths across the estate and enforces the boundary at the control plane, which is a fundamentally different job from matching a template against known-bad settings. The two are complementary: keep scanning for resource hygiene, use Native for containment.
