Sovereignty Is Engineered, Not Procured

Europe often asks whether it can build a company like Palantir: a software champion capable of serving intelligence, defence, law enforcement, crisis response, cyber defence, and public-sector decision-making at scale.

The usual answer is that Europe lacks data, capital, talent, or legal room. I do not think this is the full story.

The capacity is there. The data is there. The technical talent is there. The public-sector problems are real, urgent, and interesting. What is often missing is the will to tackle complex programmes seriously, over time, with teams that are allowed to build, fail, iterate, and take responsibility.

Europe does not need a Palantir clone. It needs the capacity to build strategic software for intelligence and security missions without outsourcing the core of its thinking.

What’s the difference between an API and an agent?

An API is consistent, deterministic, and scoped.
An agent is probabilistic, non-deterministic, and occasionally chaotic.

An agent adds some spice to your life.

Will you choose the boring, predictable life or the cool, chaotic one?

Not sure I’m allowed to leak this yet, but the new MISP dashboard is kind of crazy.

We didn’t just refresh the old one, we rewrote it completely, and it comes with a whole set of new features and capabilities that change the game quite a bit.

I’m wondering why @dnsoarc is limiting potential new contributions to their project just because they are AI-assisted.

Many valuable tools support development today, including code review and security review. The copyright argument feels similar to the one behind CLAs: an unsuccessful attempt to control the origin of the code, or even the author’s ability to re-implement a specific idea with or without external tools.

The synthetic exercise world format now includes a nice map.

So no one can blame us when you conduct an exercise: everything is fictional ;-) Yes, we’ve had cases like this during threat intelligence exercises.

All Synthetic Exercise World - Self-contained fictional world dataset for cyber exercises and standards documents are available at https://github.com/MISP/Synthetic-Exercise-World-Format
