What It Does
Declare in advance which mission functions may never be taken offline, and design containment around them.
Observable indicator. Containment never breaches the declared availability floor.
Where It Sits
A technique is chosen from inside a form and emplaced on one layer. Both are the catalog’s own declarations; the position is counted in catalog order.
- Form of maneuverM8 Isolation / RetrogradeGive ground deliberately to preserve the force. Degrade gracefully; never fail open.
- Terrain layerTX Cross-CuttingThe enablers of movement. Key terrain: The telemetry pipeline, the orchestration layer, the rules of engagement.
- Position in the form8 of 17M8 carries 17 cataloged techniques; this is the 8th in catalog order.
Phases It Is Employed In
Employed in 2 of the campaign’s six phases. A phase named here means at least this technique is live in it — not that the form it belongs to is the main effort.
Controls That Assess It
The controls the catalog names against this technique. They are what an assessor would test to establish that it is emplaced and working — the indicator above is what shows it is working, which is a different question.
- CG-1 Defensive IntentCommand and Governance — To give subordinate decisions a reference point, so that people can act correctly without referring upward.
- CG-3 Rules of EngagementCommand and Governance — To let operators act inside a known mandate rather than guessing at one, and to make the boundaries of that mandate legally and operationally sound.
In MITRE D3FEND
Statutory Availability Floor — a legal constraint on defensive action, not a countermeasure.
Related Techniques
The catalog declares no relation for this entry, and no other entry names it — the inverse is derived here, so an incoming edge would show up even though this one never declared it. The techniques below share its assessment surface, which is the nearest adjacency the data supports.
Assessed Alongside
Not a declared relation: these are the techniques whose assessing controls overlap this one’s, ranked by how much of the two assessment surfaces coincide. Showing 5 of 5 that share at least one control.
