WOLVERHAMPTON, UK, September 10, 2024: Goldilock has today been announced as one of the ten companies selected to join the second phase ofthe Defense Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic (DIANA). The ten innovators were part of 44 companies chosen in 2023 to join the first acceleration cohort of the newly formed DIANA, an organisation set up by NATO Allies to tackle the complex security challenges with disruptive dual-use technologies. As part of Phase II, Goldilock will receive additional funding of up to€300,000 as well as tailored programming, investor networking, and adoption opportunities. The approved funding will support Goldilock in obtaining technology certifications in CNI and defence settings, developing scalable versions of its technology for wider deployments, and establishing software tools for planning, deploying and operating large multi-site deployments.Of the 44 participants accepted into Phase I, Goldilock emerges as the only CNI-focused cyber company selected to progress to Phase II. The remaining nine innovators come from seven nations, specialising in a range of technology sectors from quantum sensing to renewable energy to ultra cold matter. This new achievement fuels Goldilock’s momentum as its unique solution, FireBreak,continues to gain recognition within the defence sector and the cybersecurity industry, empowering organisations to detect and neutralise sophisticated cyberattacks before they inflict lasting damage.

It sounds like science fiction, but with all the hype around AI, the danger of ‘kidnapping’ is worth talking about.It goes like this - companies who can afford to build their own internal LLMs throw all of their valuable IP (intellectual property, covering everything from trade secret designs to marketing campaigns and product strategies) into the model for it to generate relevant responses. Essentially, while it’s still a non-sentient AI model, it’s also a repository of all the most valuable information the company has.This makes it a fantastic target for a criminal attacker, or even an unethical competitor. If it can be poisoned to generate bad responses, cloned to give the attacker more insider knowledge than they know what to do with, or even somehow locked down for ransom, then it can do a huge amount of damage to the company.The Goldilock FireBreakI recently came across a security device which impressed me,..
