Five Testable Properties of a Containment Platform

The rapid and devastating Cascade of supply chain attacks in March 2026 demonstrated that detection is no longer fast enough to stop attackers from infiltrating systems, exploiting trust, and exfiltrating data. When prevention fails and detection is too slow, containment decides whether the incident becomes a catastrophic breach. However, containment is more than a buzzword; it's an architectural standard that can be tested.

Complete containment is the architectural enforcement of explicit communication policy at every workload, governing what it can reach and what can reach it, at the granularity of workload identity and protocol, on every path available to it, independent of whether a compromise has been detected.

1. Path-complete

2. Identity-aware at L7

3. Detection-independent

4. Compute-model agnostic

5. Universally propagated
