WHY FERRALON

Know which vulnerabilities can actually be exploited—and prove each repair worked.

Ferralon reproduces the risk on the version of your software you ship, applies the smallest necessary fix, and records evidence that the exploit is blocked after the repair.

HOW IT WORKS

Prove the fix on the build you ship.

The version you ship is the exact build. Ferralon reproduces the issue against it, patches only the affected path, rebuilds the application, and re-runs the exploit check in your CI. The result stays attached to the commit that produced it.

Every fix comes with a remediation record.

A clean scan or passing test does not necessarily prove a vulnerability is closed. Ferralon ties the original exploit evidence, the patch, the rebuilt application, and the post-fix result to the specific commit that produced them.

THE LIMIT OF BRUTE FORCE

Brute-force reasoning reaches its limits at fleet scale.

Most AI remediation systems give a model a repository, a vulnerability finding, and a large token budget. The model explores, rewrites, tests, and retries until it produces an acceptable result.

That can work for a one-off fix or a small batch. Across thousands of findings, repositories, and commits, it gets slow, variable, and costly.

The brute-force loop
  1. Broad repository context
  2. Long reasoning chains
  3. Repeated trial and error
  4. Potentially broad code changes
  5. Tests or scanners turn green
  6. A human still has to decide whether the vulnerability was actually fixed
The Ferralon loop
  1. Facts calculated from your code and build
  2. Exact vulnerable path
  3. Targeted reasoning where needed
  4. Minimal, evidence-directed patch
  5. Rebuild the application
  6. Re-run the exploit proof
  7. Bind the verdict to the resulting commit

Facts calculated from your code narrow the work first. Reasoning is spent only on what is left.

THE PROOF ENGINE

The Proof Engine turns code evidence into a verified fix.

Ferralon first calculates what can be known directly from your code and build. It uses deeper reasoning only for the uncertainty that remains.

That calculation covers packages, symbols, call paths, build configuration, vulnerable behavior, and the code that can actually invoke it. Reasoning is then concentrated on the narrow questions computation cannot answer.

  1. 01MapIdentify the exact code and dependency path.
  2. 02ProveDetermine whether the vulnerability can be exploited in the exact build.
  3. 03PatchLimit the change to the code surface required to close the proven path.
  4. 04RebuildProduce the actual changed application artifact.
  5. 05Re-proveVerify that the exploit no longer works while the application still does.
  6. 06BindAttach the verdict to the commit and build that produced the evidence.

Scanner results, static conclusions, and executed proof stay distinct classes of evidence. Unknown remains unknown. A proven verdict means Ferralon observed the exploit effect in the original build, then observed it gone after the patched application was rebuilt—with the application still working.

BUILT FOR SCALE

Minimum sufficient intelligence.

Calculate what can be known

Analysis answers the questions your code and build already settle. Reasoning is reserved for the uncertainty that remains.

Keep patches narrow

The patch targets a specific, proven path. Narrow changes reduce review burden, regression risk, and unintended side effects.

Constrain reasoning cost

Narrowing the work first means a model is not paid to rediscover facts the code already gives up. Cost per remediation stays predictable.

Run the proof loop continuously

The same proof loop runs continuously across repositories and commits, making autonomous remediation practical at enterprise and fleet scale.

WHERE THE MARKET STOPS

Ferralon connects code intelligence, exploit proof, remediation, rebuild, and re-proof in one system.

SCA and reachability products identify vulnerable code and reachable paths. Exposure platforms correlate and prioritize risk across an estate. Runtime products observe application behavior in running environments. AI fix products generate or recommend code changes.

Ferralon integrates those evidence inputs into an exact-build proof and remediation loop: it establishes exploitability on the specific build, produces a minimal fix, rebuilds the application, and re-proves the result.

Representative category maturity based on publicly documented product behavior. Individual vendor capabilities vary.

Each score describes the category as a whole. It is a representative reading, not a measurement of any single vendor and not a best-of composite.

  • No publicly documented capability identified
  • Limited or adjacent capability
  • Partial capability
  • Strong capability
  • Core, native capability

Proof of Exploit and Proof of Non-Exploit are established on the exact application build under evaluation.

Ferralon

Integrates code intelligence, execution proof, surgical remediation, rebuilt verification, and living verdicts.

WHAT “PROOF” MEANS

Every verdict is bound to the code that produced it.

A Ferralon verdict identifies:

  • The specific vulnerability
  • The exact application build and commit
  • The code path under evaluation
  • The observed exploit effect—or the reason it cannot occur
  • The patch applied
  • The rebuilt artifact that was tested
  • The evidence that the exploit effect disappeared
  • The evidence that the application continued to function

A code change triggers re-gating, keeping the verdict aligned with the current build. The evidence remains connected to the software, commit, and execution result that produced it.

AUTONOMOUS CYBER REMEDIATION

Move from vulnerability finding to proven fix.

Start with Ferralon Assay to determine which findings your code cannot reach. Then use the Ferralon Proof Engine to prove what is exploitable, remediate it, and prove it is fixed.
