Security
Security safeguards the Factory, its Employees, its Lines, and its operations.
It ensures that production is reliable, controlled, and resilient against internal failures and external threats.
Security is not optional.
It is fundamental.
Purpose
The purpose of Security is to:
Protect operational continuity
Prevent unauthorized access
Safeguard sensitive data and processes
Mitigate risks from AI, humans, and external actors
Maintain integrity of outputs
Without Security, all other Factory functions are compromised.
Scope
Security applies to:
AI Employees and their execution environments
Departments, Lines, and Chambers
Governance and human interfaces
Production data, logs, and documentation
Physical and digital infrastructure
Every element within the Factory falls under Security.
Core Principles
Security is based on:
Least Privilege: entities only have access to what is necessary
Segregation: separation of duties to prevent conflict or error
Monitoring: continuous observation of activity
Auditability: immutable recording of actions and events
Resilience: capacity to recover from failures or attacks
Threat Mitigation
Security addresses threats from:
Malfunctioning AI Employees
Misconfigured Lines or Departments
Human error or misuse
External cyber, physical, or operational threats
Every incident triggers containment, analysis, and logging.
Access Control
Access to Factory systems is strictly controlled:
Employees operate within defined roles
Departments and Lines enforce operational boundaries
Human interfaces are credentialed and monitored
Unauthorized access attempts are blocked and logged
Security is enforced automatically, not by trust.
Incident Response
All Security events follow a formal process:
Detection
Containment
Assessment
Escalation to Governance or Chamber if needed
Documentation and logging
Review and improvement
Response is deterministic and auditable.
Physical & Digital Security
Security encompasses both:
Digital Security: software, networks, databases, logs
Physical Security: infrastructure access, environmental controls
No distinction in accountability is made between domains.
Continuous Improvement
Security is never static. It evolves through:
Incident analysis
Threat modeling
System upgrades
Policy updates
All changes are logged and approved.
Closing Statement
Security is the backbone of the Factory’s reliability and trustworthiness.
It ensures that intelligence remains controlled, outputs remain safe,
and the Factory can operate indefinitely without compromise.
Without Security, the Factory cannot exist.
