Mm games will stop soon

The emb3d mitre project that Narf took part in fully acknowledges the talent and respect for the “social cyber “ platform that the usaf are now using.

I expect social cyber to be used by all departments and contracts should begin to start coming in.

Jv partner will also want in

This and Narf

Happy to hold both

Mean good news is coming

NARF STILL HOLD A STAKE IN THIS PROJECT. Rintial release April 25

Narf imo will have it for commercial saas sales

No patching required

“Narf will apply its solution to the high rate, high volume data sources involved in the DevSecOps pipelines that build thousands of software containers. Leveraging AI techniques from its government funded intellectual property portfolio, Narf's suite of advanced detection and infiltration algorithms will automate data curation, incident summarization, and pattern generation tasks. These advancements will significantly reduce the manual workload for analysts, enhance the effectiveness of Iron Bank personnel, and expedite the triage of new threats to maintain project trustworthiness.”

Note the time saving quote compared to the patent quote

STRONG BUY

One solution for addressing vulnerabilities is to issue new, updated versions of the software, referred to as "patches." However, installing patches can be very expensive and costly. In addition, the installation process takes time and can disrupt business. For example, many patch installations require a system reboot or server shutdown, which is not an option for some businesses.

[0004]

Other solutions, such as traditional anti-viral software or firewalls, are only partially effective because the solutions focus on signatures and attack patterns of already known malicious software. Thus, new malicious software, with new signatures, would not be detected by traditional anti-viral software or firewalls (a.k.a. "false negatives"). In addition, some current solutions are over-protective and falsely identify non-malicious users as malicious attackers (a.k.a. "false positives"). Thus, current solutions are neither "sound," meaning no false positives, nor "complete," meaning no false negatives. Therefore, there exists a need to protect vulnerabilities in software from exploitation without using a patch that is both sound and complete (a.k.a. "precise").

THIS PATENT IS HUGE GUYS.

Worth many many millions

Patent cited by the like of mcaffe and Microsoft

Performers on TA2 will work to establish a state of the art in analysis of exploit chains

within the context of affected systems. Current norms within the security community rely on

qualitative severity metrics. However, such metrics oversimplify the exploitability and

impact of a vulnerability by ignoring both the context in which an exploit might be employed

(e.g., as part of an exploit chain) as well as the environmental realities of the affected

systems. TA2 performers will therefore research and develop methods for system-centric

quantitative analysis of exploit chains. These analyses will focus on determining the

characteristics of both exploit chain components as well as related system components (e.g.,

vulnerabilities, trust relationships between system components). Strong proposals will also

present a system to provide improved impact assessment and prioritization of vulnerabilities

using quantitative metrics, such as the prevalence of a vulnerability or exploit primitive

across software versions. Although INGOTS is primarily focused on Android mobile

devices, strong proposals will also present solutions that are generically applicable to the

range of systems potentially affected by exploit chains.

Strange how Narf specialise in android specifically

Is this the reason Narf listed in London?

To be taken over.

Reading that Leido document it imo suggests they need “social cyber” ip

Why was Leidos brought in to the ingots programme late?

Is Narf a potential take over target?

IMO YES
