Goldilock’s FireBreak™ is redefining cybersecurity for critical infrastructure and high-risk sectors with a revolutionary approach: true physical network isolation. Unlike conventional software-based tools, FireBreak disconnects systems from digital threats entirely – instantly and invisibly. Utilising patented electromechanical relay technology and out-of-band, non-IP control, it reduces the attack surface by up to 100%, rendering assets unreachable by remote attackers.

Applicable across various sectors including defence, finance, healthcare, energy, and manufacturing, FireBreak protects against modern threats such as ransomware, zero-day exploits, insider threats, and advanced persistent threats. Deployed by organisations in critical infrastructure and defence, it enables secure operations in even the most hostile environments. A recent testimonial praised FireBreak as a “game-changer” for enabling mission-critical communication without the risk of cyber intrusion.

FireBreak integrates seamlessly into existing networks, with no reconfiguration or downtime required. Its plug-and-play design, coupled with multi-factor authentication, ensures secure, user-friendly deployment. With bi-annual feature updates, monthly security patches, and 24/7 emergency response capabilities, it remains agile in an evolving threat landscape.

The technology is supported by a fast-growing customer base and partner network, with deployments across 18 countries and rising adoption in CNI sectors. Backed by elite accelerator programmes, Goldilock is doubling its workforce and expanding manufacturing to meet demand.

By offering instant, invisible, and infrastructure-agnostic protection, FireBreak represents a step change in proactive cyber defence – positioning Goldilock at the forefront of emerging cybersecurity innovation.
