Definition
Autonomous containment refers to mechanisms that isolate or limit automated systems when abnormal behavior is detected. Containment prevents automated actions from spreading across infrastructure.
Why It Matters
When automation behaves unexpectedly, fast containment is often the difference between a local issue and a wider incident.
Example
A workflow showing abnormal behavior is automatically restricted from accessing APIs until reviewed.
