Cross-layer security validation for AI-era infrastructure

From observed behavior to an actionable finding

Striken connects every reported change to the scenario that produced it, the systems and layers that handled it, the evidence captured during execution, and the potential effect on the security boundary.

Platform Capabilities

Deterministic protocol modeling, cross-layer observation, behavioral comparison, and evidence-backed analysis for security infrastructure that changes over time.

  1. Deterministic Scenario Space A systematic, repeatable scenario space derived from the covered RFC universe, designed to expose protocol interpretation boundaries and behavior differences.
  2. Protocol Behavior Validation Validate how security systems interpret, enforce, normalize, and handle protocol behavior across builds, releases, policy changes, and configurations.
  3. Cross-Layer Drift Detection Detect behavioral changes as traffic moves across firewalls, WAFs, API gateways, proxies, load balancers, and other protocol-aware security layers.
  4. Behavior Delta Analysis Identify and characterize differences between observed behaviors across validated baselines, candidate systems, expected outcomes, and controlled comparisons.
  5. Evidence-Based Reporting Turn detected behavior changes into reproducible findings that show what changed, where the divergence appears, and why it may matter.
  6. Release Confidence Surface protocol behavior changes before release so engineering and security teams can evaluate whether a build, firmware, policy, or infrastructure change is safe to ship.
