The Moat

Research to IP to product. The chain nobody else has.

Every Zerberus product has a peer-reviewed academic or patent origin. This is not a feature, it is a defensibility narrative: a granted-pending USPTO patent, and two published papers, each shipping as a product in production.

ZSBOM: A Metadata-Driven Framework for Detecting Supply-Chain Risks in Python Ecosystems

Published 2024 · Open-source framework

A metadata-driven framework that detects supply-chain risk in Python ecosystems using signals beyond CVEs - typosquatting, abandoned maintainers, and version drift - and maps findings to CRA, NIST, and ENISA supply-chain guidance.

  • Goes beyond CVEs - metadata signals catch what CVSS misses
  • Typosquatting, abandoned maintainers, version drift
  • 51+ GitHub stars, 50+ repo clones, 16 active branches
  • Maps to CRA, NIST, ENISA supply-chain guidance
PowersTrace-AI

Non-CVE-based supply chain scanning - a category Snyk doesn't own.

ToolProbe: A Two-Stage Evaluation Framework for LLM Agent Safety in MCP Tool-Calling Environments

Published 2025 · Frontier AI safety research

A two-stage evaluation framework for LLM agent safety in MCP tool-calling environments, separately assessing tool-selection safety and execution safety to surface MCP-specific attack vectors that single-stage evaluators miss.

  • Two-stage: tool-selection safety plus execution safety
  • Addresses MCP-specific attack vectors (the 2025 problem)
  • Ahead of Gray Swan and HiddenLayer on MCP specificity
  • Sub-300ms gateway enforcement in production
PowersVANGUARD

MCP security is a 2025 frontier - ToolProbe stakes the claim first.

Hard IP, not a wrapper.

A patent and two peer-reviewed papers, each shipping as a product you can run today. See the platform, or talk to the team behind the research.
