Insights · Applied Research

Applied research, at the AI frontier.

We explore the frontier of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity — turning emerging research into technology our clients can deploy with confidence.

Research areas

Autonomous AI agents & production reliability

How autonomous agents carry multi-step operations to completion safely — bounded autonomy, human-in-the-loop guardrails, orchestration and failure modes under real-world load.

Evaluation, robustness & hallucination reduction

Task-specific benchmarks, ground-truth evaluation and statistical methods that measure whether a model is fit, reliable and safe enough to deploy — and prove it to a risk committee.

AI system security & external attack surface

Prompt injection, model exfiltration, agent compromise and external attack-surface management (EASM), characterised against MITRE ATLAS and OWASP and mapped to deployable controls.

Governance & compliance (EU AI Act · NIS2 · DORA)

Translating EU AI Act, NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001 and GDPR into concrete engineering requirements, continuous evidence and audit-ready documentation.
