Zero Trust Engineering — Automation authorization and blast-radius containment

/02 About

Automation and orchestration engineering reference for automation authorization and blast-radius containment, including policy, logical interfaces, recovery and assurance.

Purpose: Automation authorization and blast-radius containment. Domain: Automation and orchestration. Family: decision. Scenario trigger: Authorize privileged security automation command. Input assurance: Agent identity, intended resources and approved action scope. Evaluation: Calculate side-effect risk, allowed target set and permissions. Governing policy: Automation least privilege, rate and execution approval policy. Resource-side obligation: Execute sandboxed scoped action with independent verification. Protected concern: Security orchestration execution runtime. Logical interface: Automation principal tool name target set scope expiration and kill switch. Evidence: Automation command, authorization, effect and rollback evidence. Failure: Tool abuse, prompt injection or runaway response cascade. Required recovery: Suspend delegated authority and terminate affected jobs. Architectural invariant: Security automation must never derive authority from untrusted content Adoption: replace reference roles with concrete owner-controlled services. Specify exact provider/consumer identities, schema fields and classifications, signal provenance and freshness, idempotency, authorization lifetime, timeout/retry limits, observation and tamper evidence. A denied or failed operation must not silently become a permitted one. Scope: original vendor-neutral, implementation-agnostic technical reference model. Illustrative logical components and behaviors are neither a deployed system nor evidence of regulatory compliance. Package identities remain stable within the package; cross-package semantic reconciliation requires separate explicit registry support.
