The Cyber MRI for Mission-Critical Systems
AULIS is KAIperShield's flagship platform for architecture-level cyber resilience. Built on CAVE, our foundational technology developed at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and licensed through Caltech, AULIS gives operators and decision-makers a clear, continuously updated picture of how cyber compromise propagates through complex systems — and what it means for the mission.
Imaging, Not Just Scanning
Vulnerability scanners and intrusion detection tools tell you where a weakness or an attack exists. They do not tell you what happens next. AULIS works like an MRI for your mission architecture: it images the structure underneath the system, showing how a single point of compromise moves through dependencies, trust boundaries, and operational functions to affect outcomes that leadership actually cares about.
From Alerts to Answers
Instead of another stream of alerts, AULIS gives operators and leadership a structural answer: which mission functions are at risk, which will degrade, and which can be sustained — so resilience investment goes where it matters most.
From Component Risk to Mission Impact
AULIS models the architecture of a mission or operational environment — its systems, dependencies, trust relationships, and the functions that depend on them — and continuously reasons over that model as conditions change. The result is a living picture of mission resilience, not a static snapshot.
Architecture Mapping
Builds a structural model of how systems, networks, and trust boundaries connect to the functions a mission depends on.
Compromise Propagation
Traces how a cyber event at one point in the architecture moves outward — what degrades, what fails, and what is sustained.
Mission Impact Scoring
Translates technical compromise into operational terms leadership can act on: degraded readiness, failed objectives, sustained continuity.
Resilience Prioritization
Identifies where architectural changes and resilience investment will have the greatest effect on mission outcomes.
Built for the Speed of AI-Powered Attacks
AI-enabled adversaries can chain exploits and pivot across systems at machine speed, compressing what used to be a multi-day intrusion into minutes. Static architectures and manually maintained dependency maps cannot keep pace. AULIS is designed to reason about mission impact continuously, so resilience decisions can be made before — not after — an attacker finishes the kill chain.
NIST SP 800-160 Aligned
Grounded in the federal systems security engineering and cyber resilience framework, authored in part by KAIperShield Chief Scientist Dr. Ron Ross.
Domain Separation
Supports architectural defenses that contain compromise rather than relying solely on perimeter detection.
Cost at Every Phase
Designed to impose cost on an attacker at every stage of the kill chain, not just at the point of entry.

Built for Complex, Consequential Systems
AULIS is designed for environments where cyber compromise has real operational consequences — where the question is never just "was something breached," but "what happens to the mission."
Patented Heritage, Continuously Advanced
AULIS is built on CAVE, the core architecture-modeling technology developed at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and exclusively licensed through Caltech. KAIperShield has continued to advance this foundation with its own patent-pending innovations, extending the platform's ability to reason about resilience in increasingly complex, AI-accelerated threat environments.
