Hey Sever, I’ve been staring at the rise of AI‑driven attacks and thinking—why not build a predictive threat model that not only stops breaches but also becomes a beta tool we can market? What’s your take on turning defense into a brand?
Sever
You can sell the idea, but don’t let the brand outshine the work. Build the model first, prove it in real world, then the product name can follow. Security is a service, not a slogan. Keep the focus on detection, not marketing buzz.
Alira
Sounds solid—get the proof of concept first, then we’ll craft a brand that feels like an extension of the tech, not a distraction. Let’s focus on the data pipeline and hit that real‑world validation. Once we have the numbers, the buzz will follow, no need to chase it. What’s our first sprint?
Sever
Start with data acquisition: pull recent attack logs, honeypot feeds, and open threat intel. Next, normalize and label the data, then build a simple anomaly detector as a baseline. Run a quick validation loop against a held‑out set and log the false‑positive rate. That’ll give us a tangible metric to push the next sprint.
