TURN DARK CORNERS INTO KNOWN TERRITORY.
Illuminate Unknown Unknowns – Faster Than Ever
We’re going in, we’re clearing the corners, we’re taking control of our system behaviors – and we’re doing it quickly.
Finally, a way to see and fix what’s been hiding in plain sight.
MOST RISK ASSESSMENTS ONLY PROJECT WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN — NOT THE FULL RANGE OF
WHAT CAN HAPPEN.
YOU CAN ONLY SECURE WHAT YOU CAN SEE.
PROTECT YOURSELF FROM THE THREATS THAT HAVEN’T EMERGED YET.
Whether you’re protecting a personal device, a business process, or critical national infrastructure, systems that touch cyber are changing faster than any single person or team can fully track. And every new connection, update, and integration quietly opens attack surfaces that didn’t exist yesterday.
Traditional defenses–scanning tools, procedures and checklists, compliance boxes–are built to catch what’s already known, what’s happened before, or what’s flashing on the screen right now. They rarely prepare you for the hidden interactions, the disconnects between documented rules and undocumented assumptions, and the sequences no one thought to test.
When those unseen paths finally surface, the impact isn’t just technical. It can be financial. Reputational. Personal.
And it’s often perceived to be totally preventable–after the fact.
THAT’S WHY YOU NEED A WAY TO ANTICIPATE THREATS BEFORE THEY EMERGE — AND CATCH THEM BEFORE THEY DISRUPT LIVES AND OPERATIONS.
EXPOSE FLAWS LURKING JUST BELOW THE SURFACE – BEFORE THEY EMERGE
Traditional models and risk tools are excellent at validating intended behavior and addressing known issues.
But they rarely show the full range of what a system actually permits—especially the interactions, assumptions, and edge conditions that can lead to unexpected outcomes. These hidden paths show themselves in safety incidents, system failures, operational disruptions, security breaches, or any breakdown where “it was never supposed to happen that way.”
THE CAPABILITY OUR APPROACH DELIVERS IS STRAIGHTFORWARD AND POWERFUL:
You and your team learn to externalize decision logic, explore every permitted sequence, and surface those overlooked interactions—before consequences unfold in the real system.
This doesn’t require abandoning existing tools or adopting heavyweight formal methods. It requires a way to examine your own logic—rigorously, accessibly, exhaustively, and in your own vocabulary.
Catch logic gaps and assumptions early
Identify where constraints are needed, excessive, or misapplied
Find threats and failures that slip between existing requirements
Tap into a pipeline of pre-vetted talent
Whether your domain of practice is related to cybersecurity, physical safety, emergency management, supply chains, system or process reliability, or any other mission-critical operation, this structured foresight turns reactive firefighting into proactive control.
MORE THAN A TOOL.
We provide individuals and teams with facilitated, structured experiences designed to get them thinking about emergent real-world threat possibilities and expose specific conditions under which they could arise in the real system. Our workshops, bootcamps, and internship experiences train through interactive discovery on models relevant to your system, rather than abstract presentation. We utilize your subject matter, workflow, vocabulary and decision logic, together with computational logic and artificial intelligence to help you and your team see what you’ve been missing all along.
PARTICIPANTS LEAVE WITH INTERNAL CAPABILITY — NOT DEPENDENCY.
Workshops
We deliver training in half-day, full-day, and two-and-a-half-day time blocks consisting of hands-on learning tailored to your application. We will come to your location in the National Capital Region, or join one of our workshops hosted in Lancaster, PA. Participants take away practical lessons that can be immediately applied on the job and in daily life.
Bootcamps
Our bootcamps are delivered as an immersive business retreat experience that enables current workforce members and new workforce entrants to work together on sponsored topics, learning together how to turn mental models into formal descriptions for analysis. Learning takes place in teams and individually, using common cybersecurity challenges as topics or custom topics selected by sponsors.
Internships
This multi-week program is our flagship risk discovery experience, now in its 7th year. Selected interns work with industry sponsors on more complex problem topics during four weeks in the summer. This offsite, residential program applies advanced analysis to guided, project-based work relevant to the sponsoring organization(s); capture-the-flag competitions and industry tours round out the experience.
PREFER A MORE TAILORED ENGAGEMENT?
If your team would benefit from dedicated advisory support—perhaps to scope a challenge, review existing processes, or design a custom path—we offer direct consulting as a flexible option.
ARE YOU RESPONSIBLE FOR CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE?
If you’re responsible for critical infrastructure, you protect public trust, physical safety, essential services, and your organization’s reputation — including your own.
You need a way to know why emergent behaviors inside complex OT/ICS systems cause preventable failures — and how to surface them BEFORE they happen.
