CONCEPT

Black Ice Sentinel

A security-hardened appliance concept: the lab’s ACI stack, on dedicated local hardware, for purple-team operations.

Sentinel is the hardware end of the thesis: a local appliance running our ACI stack in a security-hardened configuration, so that defensive assessment work happens on infrastructure the operator owns — no telemetry, no cloud round-trip. It is a design concept today: no unit has been built, and there is no product to buy. The capability it would run on comes from our own research into accountable multi-agent orchestration.

What it is
A security-hardened variant of the EvaCore appliance
Use case
Purple-team operations, on infrastructure the operator owns
Status
Design concept — no unit built, nothing to buy
Capability source
Our own research into accountable multi-agent orchestration

The research behind it

The orchestration governance, rules of engagement and benchmark results that would justify Sentinel live in our research section — not on this page, which is about the hardware concept, not the method.
