C.O.S.M.O, Bringing Order to Cyber Operations
AI security operations on your own server

C.O.S.M.O Bot does the work. You approve it.

It sorts every alert, scores each one with its reasons and writes every team’s work order, ready to paste in. Nothing changes until a person presses Approve.

The C.O.S.M.O Overview with C.O.S.M.O Bot open: live traffic bars for each source over a glowing Earth, the threat map on a 3D globe, and the bot listing what needs attention now.

Watch the bot work

C.O.S.M.O Bot does the work.
You approve it.

Five real screens from C.O.S.M.O, in the order the bot works. The numbers point at what it is doing.

01/ 05

It tells you what needs you.

Open C.O.S.M.O and the bot is already on the page, with what needs a person today, most urgent first.

C.O.S.M.O
C.O.S.M.O screen: It tells you what needs you.
  1. 1C.O.S.M.O Bot sits beside every page and knows which step you are on.
  2. 2It raises what needs you on its own: overdue actions, threats with no playbook, hunt results.
  3. 3One button takes you straight to the work.
  4. 4Ask it anything about the page you are looking at.
02/ 05

It offers to work the whole queue.

Thousands of alerts, grouped so each machine needs one decision. One click hands the queue to the bot.

C.O.S.M.O

  1. 1The eight-step workflow, from Overview to Act.
  2. 2Every incident carries a score you can open to see each point.
  3. 3"Let C.O.S.M.O triage for you": it decides every incident and picks who gets each one.
  4. 4Turn on auto triage. Nothing changes until a person approves.
03/ 05

It comes back with a plan.

The bot goes through every waiting incident and says what it decided, in plain English.

C.O.S.M.O screen: It comes back with a plan.
  1. 1"Here is my plan. Nothing changes until you approve it."
  2. 2Real, can be closed, needs more checking, and who gets work, counted.
  3. 3Decided from the evidence and your routing rules, with or without an AI model connected.
  4. 4One button to see everything before you approve.
04/ 05

You see everything you are approving.

Every decision, every assignment and every team's work pack, on one page.

  2. 2Who gets what: each person and team, with their load.
  3. 3A work pack for each team, built from this plan.
  4. 4You press Approve. Each change is written in your name.
05/ 05

Each team gets work it can paste in.

Firewall commands, detection rules, searches and a PDF work order for every team, ready to copy or download.

  4. 4Approve the lot in one press.

Real C.O.S.M.O screens with fictional demo data. Without an AI model connected the bot still decides from the evidence and your rules.

Every workflow, side by side

The bot does the legwork. People make the calls.

C.O.S.M.O Bot does itA person decides

Auto triage

01
C.O.S.M.O Bot

Sorts the whole queue, most urgent first.

Repeats are grouped. Each incident gets a score, a suggestion and the team it belongs to.

The Triage list in C.O.S.M.O: incidents most urgent first, each with a score, what the machine is for, a suggestion and who should get it.
02
C.O.S.M.O Bot

Shows why every score is what it is.

Your threat library, the flaws attackers use now, your own firewall rules and how the machine normally behaves.

An alert page: a risk score gauge, the facts behind it, what matched and the network event that triggered it.
03
C.O.S.M.O Bot

Writes the plan: a decision and an owner for each.

Real, not real, expected and harmless, or needs more checking. Up to 40 incidents in one plan.

The auto triage window with the C.O.S.M.O Bot portrait: here is my plan, nothing changes until you approve it, with counts for each decision.
04
You

Read one window. Press Approve.

Every change and every team’s files in one place. Leave items out or swap people first if you like.

The review step of auto triage: work packs for each team with Copy and Download, and the Approve button.

Work packs

05
C.O.S.M.O Bot

Hands each team a work order PDF.

What to do, a checklist, then every rule and search with a line on what it is for.

The top of a real work order PDF for the firewall team.
06
Your teams

Pick up their work, with owners and due times.

Each team sees its workload in Act. Each person finds their pack in My Tasks.

Act: what still needs a playbook, each team's workload and who does what by when.

Investigate and respond

07
C.O.S.M.O Bot

Lays out the checks and how to decide each one.

Things worth a look are marked one by one. The timeline of decisions is kept for the record.

A case in Investigate: each check to run, how to decide, and the things worth a look marked one by one.
08
You

Approve each containment step.

Playbooks draw the attacker’s likely route. Nothing is blocked or cut off until a person says so.

A response playbook: the attacker's likely route drawn as plays across your boundary, network, computers and accounts.

Malware Lab and the Constellation

09
You

Drop in a suspicious file or script.

It is only read, never opened or run.

The Malware Lab: drop a file here, or paste a script or command. The file is only read, never opened or run.
10
C.O.S.M.O Bot and the council

Explains it in plain English and writes the rules.

Five AI members read the code and vote. Rules are tested on the sample before they are offered.

A Malware Lab report: a danger score of 100 marked Dangerous and what the script would do if opened.

Hunt

11
C.O.S.M.O Bot

Suggests where to look for what no alert caught.

Sweeps for the groups and malware already in your queue. Every hunt only reads.

The Hunt page: where to look and for how long, and sweeps C.O.S.M.O suggests for named malware and groups.
12
C.O.S.M.O Bot

Shows how AI services are used on your network.

Which machines call which services, and large uploads. Addresses, names and sizes, never what anyone typed.

AI use on your network: which machines used which AI services, how much they sent, and why each is worth a look.

Government and offline

13
You

Bring updates in on removable media.

C.O.S.M.O checks the signature before anything is installed. In offline mode it opens no outside connection.

Offline mode and content packs: bring in a signed pack, checked before it is installed.

Real screenshots of C.O.S.M.O with fictional demo data.

Proof, not promises

Every answer comes with its working.

No black box. Press any score to see each point. Open any pack to see each file.

The score

Every score shows what went into it.

A real C.O.S.M.O alert: the risk score dial with severity, indicator confidence, earlier hits, known actors and what matched.
The work order

One PDF per team. Checklist first.

The Constellation

Five AIs take malware apart. None of them runs it.

Drop a file or script into the Malware Lab and convene the council. Each member has one job. If you connect several AI models, each member can be a different one.

  • What it does, step by step, in plain English
  • The code, with comments above the lines that matter
  • Rules that also catch changed versions, tested on the sample
Confirmed by the line of codeSuspected: a member’s reading

With no AI connected, C.O.S.M.O still comments the code and builds the rules itself.

The Constellation: five AI members around the file they read. Polaris chairs. Vega reads the code, Orion works out what it does, Lyra writes the rules, Draco argues the other side. invoice-update.ps1only read, never run Polarischairs Vegareads the code Lyrawrites the rules Dracoargues the other side Orionworks out what it does
  • PolarisChair. Weighs the votes, writes the summary and the plan to stop the next version.
  • VegaCode reader. Reads every function line by line and writes the comments.
  • OrionBehavior analyst. Works out what the program does on a machine, step by step.
  • LyraDetection engineer. Picks what is hard for the author to change.
  • DracoSkeptic. Challenges every claim the code does not support.

Your server, your network, your choice of AI.

C.O.S.M.O is one server and one database that you run. Nothing has to leave your network, and in offline mode nothing does.

Where C.O.S.M.O runs: data comes in from your firewalls, sensors, logs and threat feeds, or from signed content packs when offline. The C.O.S.M.O server and its database run inside your network.
