Live workflow · 3 working · 1 queuedLive
Signal · gather Working
Decide · pick action Working
Apply · with verify Working
Learn · update playbook Queued
Idea
Default-deny network policy. Each app explicitly allows traffic.
Lateral movement bounded.
Migrate
Audit current traffic. Add policies. Switch default.
Months-long; pace it.
Benefit
Compromise blast radius bounded.
Compliance stories cleaner.
