Firebreak is the first complete network isolation solution to combine high-speed fibre connectivity, dual power and SIM redundancy and comprehensive API access. This new and unique combination delivers enhanced speed, availability, control and flexibility. As a result, businesses can quickly and effectively isolate critical assets in the event of a cyber-attack.  
 
Ransomware attacks cripple businesses daily, making the ability to instantly sever compromised systems from the network a necessity. FireBreak is a critical component in robust cybersecurity strategies, providing a first line of defence that empowers organisations to contain attacks, minimise damage and protect customer data.
 
The hardware refresh enables businesses to:  

  • Choose the connection type that best suits their network infrastructure and bandwidth requirements
  • Experience faster connectivity and improved network performance, especially those who rely on data intensive applications
  • Continue operating and protecting systems, even during power outages or network disruptions

Broadband Testing independently validated the performance, reliability and flexibility of FireBreak’s security features, deployment and management capabilities. “Our testing proved FireBreak’s line-speed performance and millisecond port disabling via Ethernet and SMS, both in manual and automated modes” commented Steve Broadhead, Founder and Head Analyst at Broadband Testing. "API integrations demonstrated full automation for all tasks, including port shutdowns upon threat detection with thirdrd party tools. To our knowledge, there is no other product on the market that carries out true physical isolation.”
 
“Organisations are facing increasingly sophisticated and persistent cyber threats. Protecting against the potential consequences of a compromised network – from data breaches and financial losses to operational disruption and reputational damage – is therefore more critical than ever,” said Richard Bate, CTO, Goldilock. “By supercharging our FireBreak solution, we’re giving organisations more tools at their disposal to proactively protect critical assets, maintain business continuity, and put the power of control back into their hands.”
