That guy was one of the youngest political leaders in Europe. The two others are successful Entrepreneurs of which one turned Billionaire recently.
The ex-politician is co-founder of an AI company specializing in Security AI. He might be the creator of Shadowrun's Black ICE in the real world, but that's not my point. My point is that he mentions a Nuclear Power Plant as a customer for a system that prevents a Hacker from sneaking through the system to a spot that can cause a GAU, a nuclear explosion.
So, with all given respect, you fucking idiots, why would any data cable or wifi wave reach from the telephone line to anywhere close to any prime system, please? Try a door with a lock and a human that walks through.
I am trying to say, that dozens of managers and IT developers spend hours of work and millions of money for a system that can be turned obsolete by having no cable from one switch to another switch, through a wall. My system suggestion would save 5 bugs for an Ethernet Cable and be unhackable granted per core design, they spend millions for software and computers to keep a 5 bugs security threat cable.
Only nuclear bombs are harder to explain being for and from idiots.

Below are key details about the company, its technology, and controversies.

Dream's platform uses proprietary AI models to predict and neutralize cyber threats targeting critical infrastructure (e.g., energy grids, water facilities). Key innovations:
Core Product: Cyber Language Model (CLM):
A first-of-its-kind AI trained on cybersecurity data (threat intelligence, logs, code) to automate threat detection and response. It mimics hacker tactics and defender strategies.
Processes natural language queries (e.g., "Show breach points in our power grid").
Four Foundational Models:
CLM: Analyzes text-based cyber data.
Hacker Replication Model: Simulates attack strategies.
Anomaly Detection: Flags unusual network behavior.
Free-text Chatbot ("Dreamer"): Provides analyst assistance.
Despite rapid growth, Dream faces scrutiny due to its founders' backgrounds and opaque operations:
Founder Legacies:
Hulio's NSO Past: NSO Group's Pegasus spyware was blacklisted by the U.S. for targeting activists/journalists. Dream employs 12+ ex-NSO staff and Israeli intelligence veterans, raising concerns about "rebranding" offensive cyber expertise.
Kurz's Political Scandals: Resigned as Austrian Chancellor in 2021 amid corruption probes; convicted of perjury (appealing an 8-month suspended sentence).
Ethical Questions:
Customer Vetting: Dream states it avoids sales to authoritarian regimes but discloses no client list. Its expansion targets "markets with significant national security challenges".
Geopolitical Ties: Kurz’s connections to figures like Viktor Orbán (Hungary) and Peter Thiel (Trump ally) fuel concerns about influence peddling .
Competitors include legacy firms (e.g., Palo Alto Networks), but Dream’s AI-native architecture offers unique predictive advantages.
Dream Security exemplifies AI's potential to transform national cybersecurity, with unprecedented revenue growth and elite backing. However, its success is shadowed by ethical controversies tied to its founders and the opaque nature of its clientele. As Kurz stated, the mission is to combat "the defining national security concern of our era" 6. Yet, trust in this promise hinges on greater transparency and ethical safeguards—especially given the founders' pasts. For investors and governments, Dream represents both a cutting-edge solution and a high-stakes gamble.
"There’s perception, and there’s reality. Sometimes it’s the same, and sometimes the perception has not a lot to do with the reality." — Sebastian Kurz, Dream co-founder.
