About CORNETiQ

Eliminate the guesswork in network operations.

CORNETiQ was built to close a structural gap: networks were being operated reactively instead of modeled deterministically. NISE turns firewall behavior into something you can reason about, validate, and trust — before a change ever ships.

The problem

Understanding a network took too long.

Validating a single firewall config or tracing a flow across policies, NAT, and routing could eat hours of manual cross-referencing — jumping between rule sets and logs, often without a clean, deterministic answer. The data was always there. A unified way to reason about it wasn't.

What we built

A deterministic engine, with AIDEN on top.

NISE — the Network Intelligence & Security Engine — reasons about firewall policy, routing, NAT, and topology as a single system. At its core, AIDEN makes that reasoning explainable: traceable answers grounded in the actual network model. It amplifies engineering judgment instead of replacing it.

From the founder

Built by someone who lived the problem.

CORNETiQ was founded by a network security engineer with nearly two decades in the field — hands-on across service provider, government, and large-scale enterprise environments. The work was deep firewall engineering and multi-vendor security operations in highly segmented, compliance-driven networks: the kind where a misconfiguration isn't a bug, it's an outage. Across all of it, one pattern kept repeating — skilled engineers spending more time interpreting firewall behavior than actually designing or securing systems.

NISE is the tool he wanted on the other side of that frustration. Instead of relying on tribal knowledge and manual cross-referencing, it models the network as one system and lets engineers see exactly how it will behave before they touch it — reducing risk, sharpening security posture, and giving teams their time back for the work that actually moves the needle.

Founder & Principal Engineer

Where we're going

Shift network operations from reactive troubleshooting to deterministic simulation — so engineers know how a network will behave before they change it.

Deterministic, not reactive

Model and validate behavior up front instead of investigating after something breaks.

Explainable by design

AIDEN gives traceable answers grounded in the real network model — never a black box.

Engineer in control

The platform amplifies judgment and gives time back; it doesn't try to replace the engineer.
