Tim’s Blogs
This section of the site is where I occasionally publish articles about what I happen to be working on or playing with at the time. Not much here yet but will add to it over time.
Artificial Intelligence
New blogs for this space should be coming soon. My current focus involves experimenting with several local AI models running on our hardware. The intent is to be able to easily create local AI applications, first for our use and later for partner companies based on local proprietary data. I’m currently doing internal documentation on much of this, and once done will review to see what makes sense for publishing here.
Network Security
Jade Unified Security Framework (USF)
The Jade Unified Security Framework (USF) is a thin extendable security layer that operates across machines in a network. It provides hooks for applications and security components to register and effect network wide security changes. The USF protects specific protocols and services using components both in user and kernel spaces. The USF is a working functional prototype which has been protecting our networks for the past few years. It was designed as an easy to deploy solution for Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs) without the need for expensive security hardware. The design is highly modular with USF utilities and analyzers being easy to maintain and build upon.
Four functional USF components or groups work together to detect, analyse, and react to protect a network. They are the core firewall, system and network logging (SIEM), application layer defenses, and other threat specific countermeasures.
