Aviatrix Breach Lock – Stop Active Cloud Data Exfiltration
During an active cloud breach, teams need immediate answers to one question:
The Incident Reality
In modern cloud environments, egress activity can begin within seconds of an attacker gaining a foothold:
Before alerts fire
Before incident response teams engage
Before traffic can be attributed behind NAT gateways
Dynamic routing, ephemeral workloads, and shared egress paths create a critical window where attackers can establish command-and-control or begin exfiltrating data—often without triggering perimeter-centric controls.
What Breach Lock Delivers
Breach Lock gives security teams immediate clarity and control during active cloud incidents:
Rapid identification of egress risk
The program analyzes flow and DNS telemetry to surface behaviors aligned with MITRE ATT&CK Exfiltration (TA0010), revealing malicious, foreign, and non-compliant egress paths in real time.
Live containment where enforcement exists
Where cloud-native enforcement is available, Breach Lock applies targeted, workload-aware egress controls—without agents or downtime—to help interrupt active exfiltration paths.
Actionable guidance where enforcement is limited
When inline controls aren’t immediately available, teams receive prioritized findings and containment guidance to support rapid response and remediation.
How Breach Lock Works
Breach Lock focuses on runtime behavior, not static configuration or posture:
Flow logs expose real egress communication paths at the workload level
DNS telemetry reveals suspicious resolution and egress behavior commonly used during exfiltration staging
Behavioral analysis maps observed activity to MITRE ATT&CK Exfiltration (TA0010) techniques
Where supported, Aviatrix applies precise, cloud-native egress enforcement to help stop data loss in progress—without disrupting production traffic.

Free rapid-response program
What Breach Lock Detects and Contains
Using cloud flow logs and DNS telemetry, Breach Lock surfaces egress behaviors associated with active exfiltration risk, including:
- Malicious, foreign, or non-compliant destinations
- TOR and anonymity network traffic
- Command-and-control–associated egress activity, including DNS-based signaling
- Suspicious SaaS or cloud services used for data transfer
- Unencrypted or policy-violating egress flows
MITRE ATT&CK–Aligned Exfiltration Analysis
Observed behaviors are evaluated against MITRE ATT&CK Exfiltration (TA0010) patterns, including:
T1020: Automated Exfiltration
T1029: Scheduled Transfer
T1030: Data Transfer Size Limits
T1041: Exfiltration Over C2 Channel
T1048: Exfiltration Over Alternative Protocol
T1537: Transfer Data to Cloud Account
T1567: Exfiltration Over Web Services

Why Organizations Use Breach Lock
Stop Data Loss
Contain egress activity during the breach window — when damage happens fastest.
See Behind NAT
Finally understand which workload is responsible for each egress connection.
Safe During Crisis
Cloud-native, agentless controls applied with no downtime and no architectural disruption.
Multi-Cloud Ready
Unified visibility and containment across AWS, Azure and GCP.
Compliance-Ready Evidence
Supports HIPAA 2025, PCI DSS 4.0, NIS2, DORA, SEC, and ZTMM expectations.
Works Alongside IR Firms
IR investigates compromise. Breach Lock contains exfiltration. Both are required.
Containment During the Incident
Where cloud-native enforcement is safe to activate, Breach Lock applies targeted, agentless egress controls with no downtime to help interrupt active exfiltration paths.
MITRE-aligned evidence
Designed to assist incident response
Prioritized containment guidance
Accelerate investigation
Clear support for incident response, investigation, and regulatory reporting
Simplify reporting obligations
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this disrupt workloads?
No. Breach Lock uses reversible, cloud-native controls that are applied without agents, downtime, or application restarts. Enforcement actions are targeted to suspicious egress activity and validated before being applied. Your team maintains full control over all changes, and policies can be adjusted or rolled back at any time during the engagement.
Do we need agents?
No. Breach Lock is agentless by design. It analyzes existing cloud telemetry (such as flow logs and DNS logs) and applies enforcement through cloud-native controls provided by Zero Trust for Workloads, without deploying software on workloads or hosts.
Do we need to re-architect anything?
No. Breach Lock does not require re-architecting networks, changing application designs, or modifying traffic flows. It operates within your existing cloud architecture and applies targeted enforcement only where needed to contain active or suspected exfiltration paths.
Can this run alongside our incident response (IR) firm?
Yes. Breach Lock is designed to complement, not replace, your IR firm. It provides visibility and runtime enforcement focused on egress activity and data exfiltration, while your IR partner leads forensics, root-cause analysis, and remediation. Many teams use Breach Lock to stabilize egress traffic while IR investigations are underway.
What if we’re not sure it’s exfiltration?
That’s common — and Breach Lock is built for exactly that situation. The program helps determine whether suspicious egress activity represents data exfiltration, command-and-control, or legitimate traffic by analyzing flow and DNS patterns in context. If enforcement isn’t immediately appropriate, Breach Lock provides clarity, prioritization, and guidance to help teams decide the safest next steps.
