CYBO AttestCapability briefMission AI infrastructure

EXPLAINABLE AI FOR SOFTWARE AUTHORIZATION

Automated container security review.
Attested, authorized, on record.

Connect your software once and everything else is automatic. Every release is checked for security problems, every finding is explained in plain language, and Explainable AI drafts the risk paperwork with every claim backed by evidence. One qualified person makes the final call, in minutes, and signs it by name.

What you receive is proof: a signed attestation of what was checked, what was decided, and who decided it. The same proof auditors, regulators, and governments now demand from every software vendor.

Running in production today: more than 130 software containers continuously scanned and reviewed on the same pipeline Ulap operates for the U.S. Department of Defense. Every authorization is signed by a verified person under your organization's own identity system.

Compliance tools generate paperwork. Scanner dashboards rank findings. CYBO Attest automates the entire road to the decision, explains every step with Explainable AI, and keeps the judgment human: a named reviewer whose approval is final and on record. Easy to adopt, secure by architecture, ready the day you connect.

Scan

Continuous evidence pipeline

Twelve open source scanners on every push: SBOM, vulnerabilities, secrets, misconfiguration, malware. Evidence published to your private security repo in immutable, hash verified pipeline directories. Unchanged containers recognize themselves, so re-review costs minutes, not days.

Review

The authorization console

Submissions are worked in the order they arrive. One decision at a time sessions, guidance in reviewer language, inherited risk warnings, and claims for multi reviewer teams. Record the decision with its basis, then approve as yourself. Your reviewers, or ours on the managed tier.

What it does

  • 01Finds security problems in every release before it ships: vulnerabilities, exposed secrets, malware, weak configurations.
  • 02Drives remediation first. Every failure explains its fix, and what cannot be fixed yet gets a justified, evidence backed reason.
  • 03Blocks what should not ship. Serious failures return to engineering automatically and never reach approval.
  • 04Puts a qualified human decision on the remaining risk, in minutes, with the reasoning written down.
  • 05Proves it: a signed attestation of what was found, what was fixed, what was accepted, and by whom.
How it serves the program

What you get

  • 01Risk is eliminated or knowingly accepted before deployment, never silently shipped.
  • 02A defensible audit trail: who decided what, on which evidence, and why.
  • 03Engineers unblock themselves with ranked fixes that open the review.
  • 04Reviewers sign with confidence. Every verdict is traceable to policy and artifact.
  • 05Time to authorize measured and falling, with risk held constant.

The decision is the product.

Dashboards summarize risk. This system disposes of it. Every finding gets a human judgment with a written basis. Every authorization is a named approval under the platform's own permissions. Every record exports for your auditor, your regulator, or your risk owner, with the evidence hash that anchors it. Nothing is asserted that the system cannot show.

From push to approved

Seven steps.
One auditable record.

Every step leaves evidence, and every explanation cites it. Explainable AI serves every seat at the table from one trace engine: developers see what to change to pass, reviewers see why it passed and on what evidence, risk owners see the whole record.

01

Scan

Every push builds and scans. Evidence lands in immutable, hash verified pipeline directories in your private security repo. Unchanged containers are recognized as unchanged.

02

Explain

Each gate verdict expands to policy version, rule text, inputs, threshold, and the evidence hash behind it, with a counterfactual on every failure: what would make this pass.

03

Justify

Risk justifications drafted from evidence covering reachability, upgrade path, and compensating controls, every sentence cited. Boilerplate is flagged before review opens. Engineers own the words.

04

Submit

A complete package opens the review and joins the queue with waiting age visible. Unlock analysis tells engineers exactly what stands between them and this step.

05

Review

Guided one decision at a time sessions, gate guidance in reviewer language, claims that partition work across reviewers, and situation briefs that state the next move plainly.

Automation ends here
06

Authorize

Record the decision with its basis, then approve the review under your own verified identity, enforced by the platform's permissions. Never a bot, never on someone's behalf.

07

On record

Attributed, timestamped decisions tied to evidence hashes, exportable for your auditor or regulator. Re-review of unchanged containers cites the delta: minutes, honestly.

Who it serves, and why it matters

Three seats.
One shared record.

The developer

You are not a security expert, and this system never asks you to be. Every failed check explains itself the moment you push: what rule, what evidence, and exactly what change makes it pass. When risk needs justifying, Explainable AI drafts it from the evidence, every sentence cited, and you own the final words.

Security stops being the team you wait on. Pipelines finish in days, not quarters, and you always know your next move.

The reviewer

Everything arrives ready to judge: evidence assembled, a queue in submission order, one decision at a time, and every verdict traceable to its rule and raw artifact in one click. A drafted basis is waiting, but the judgment, and the signature, are always yours.

Your newest reviewer judges like your most senior one, minutes per decision instead of days per package, and every call you sign is defensible years later.

The risk owner

You see the whole picture: who decided what, on which evidence, and why, across every release your organization ships. Nothing goes out unreviewed, nothing is approved without proof, and the entire record exports for any auditor or regulator on demand.

Speed and accountability stop being a trade off. You get both, on the record, without hiring an army.

Where this came from

Built with ARCYBER
and U.S. Cyber Command.

Ulap partnered with Army Cyber and U.S. Cyber Command to build and operate cDSO, the framework that automates security scanning, testing, and approval of containerized software for IL5+ environments in days, not weeks or months. As an original contributor to the platform built with ARCYBER at Unified Platform, Ulap manages 130+ containers through it today.

CYBO Attest is built on that core engine, and extends it. The platform Army Cyber built and operates does the scanning and the automation, and what it produces arrives as raw pipeline output, log files, and markdown. Ulap adds the layer nobody had built: Explainable AI that puts every verdict in plain language, and a console that walks developers, architects, reviewers, and product owners through submission, remediation, review, and approval.

Profitable since 2019, fully self funded, with significant investment from U.S. Cyber Command and AFWERX.
