Zero-day and Daybreak protection
Translate emerging threat intelligence into inline controls while the underlying system remains unchanged and available.
Why this challenge is hard
Threat intelligence moves faster than enterprise change. A vulnerable system may require vendor remediation, complex testing, accreditation and a maintenance window, while taking it offline may not be operationally possible.
The gap between knowing about a threat and safely changing the asset is where exposure persists. The hard problem is to deploy a precise defence quickly without destabilising the service or blocking legitimate traffic.
What Data Mediation changes
Detection platforms, frontier models, public advisories, OWASP guidance, scanners, SIEM, EDR and customer security platforms can provide the intelligence. A Programmable Data Agent provides the preventative layer, enforcing the approved policy inline before the dangerous interaction reaches the vulnerable asset.
This protects the service immediately and gives internal teams time to patch, modernise, reconfigure, replace or sunset the system on controlled terms.
Approach
How Data Mediation is applied
- 01
Ingest a trusted advisory, observed pattern or candidate control.
- 02
Review and approve the control against the operating context.
- 03
Deploy the control at the interaction point.
- 04
Continue legitimate traffic while recording blocked or redirected activity.
What can be demonstrated
- A threat-specific control deployed without application change
- Legitimate transactions continue through the protected service
- Suspicious traffic is quarantined, redirected or denied
- The control can be removed after remediation or retained as defence in depth
The exact scope, controls and evidence depend on the customer environment and are agreed before implementation.
Start with a defined outcome and prove it in controlled scope.
