# Abrasiveridge

*/Startups/Abrasiveridge*

## Startup Overview

A headless service-as-software engine autonomously patches internet-facing vulnerabilities on edge network infrastructure. By simulating adversary exploit paths, the system identifies exposed vectors and deploys targeted configuration fixes directly to perimeter devices. This closes the gap between vulnerability discovery and remediation without requiring constant oversight.

Managed Service Providers secure sprawling client networks where external exposures create immediate liability. Instead of burying security analysts in remediation tickets, the system assumes the physical workload of digital vulnerability management. It executes direct code fixes to seal exposures the moment they are found, protecting client perimeters without consuming engineering hours.

Legacy scanners like Tenable Vulnerability Management and CrowdStrike Falcon Surface stop at emitting alerts, forcing teams into manual patch workflows. This engine replaces vulnerability reporting with autonomous resolution, applying actual fixes to the external perimeter rather than simply auditing internal endpoints. By executing direct code changes without human intervention, it provides total edge coverage and eliminates the standard patch backlog.

## Startup Founding Hypothesis

**Approach**: that sanitizes and structures erratic manufacturing data
**Competitors**:
- [Cognite Data Fusion](/Competitors/Cognite_Data_Fusion)
- [custom Python pipelines](/Competitors/custom_Python_pipelines)
- [manual spreadsheet formatting](/Competitors/manual_spreadsheet_formatting)
**Differentiator2x2**: fully schema-agnostic and priced strictly on successful standardizations

## Startup Proof Points

_Illustrative — target and order-of-magnitude estimate figures, not an achieved track record (this Thing is concept-stage)._

**Pilot Goals**:
- Target a 30-day Pilot Line deployment on 1 to 2 legacy machine data sources capped at 50,000 records to prove the context-aware parser infers undocumented string structures without predefined templates.
- Target a 60-day Plant Scale pilot integrating up to 15 SCADA and MES exports to validate that downstream historical analytics receive sanitized data without impacting real-time machine control loops.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: 99 percent mapping success rate for unstructured legacy SCADA tags without manual regex intervention.
- Target: 40+ hours per month reduction in time plant engineers spend manually formatting CSV exports.
- Target: Under 4 hours to fully onboard and map a completely new legacy machine data feed.
- Target: 0 percent billing rate on dropped telemetry fields or failed schema mappings due to strict zero-rating execution.
**Target Case Studies**:
- Aim to validate with a mid-sized automotive parts manufacturer: moving from manually formatting weekly MES CSV exports to automated payload mapping for historical yield analysis without writing custom regex.
- Aim to validate with a regional food and beverage packaging plant: normalizing proprietary, undocumented temperature and pressure string formats into a unified cloud schema for predictive maintenance reporting.
- Aim to validate with a multi-site industrial materials producer: scaling data ingestion from disparate SCADA systems across multiple facilities, paying only for successfully mapped payloads and eliminating monthly data wrangling overhead.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- Target: A Plant Engineer expressing relief that they no longer manually untangle proprietary sensor strings in Excel before generating weekly production reports.
- Target: A Director of Manufacturing IT confirming that deterministic unit conversions ensure their critical temperature data remains mathematically accurate and completely free of generative hallucinations.
- Target: A VP of Operations highlighting the exactness of the usage-based pricing model where the budget is only consumed by successfully mapped payloads that actually reach their analytics dashboard.

## Startup Top Risks

**Risks**:
- Severity: existential · Description: Autonomous configuration pushes inadvertently disable client edge networks, causing catastrophic outages and immediate liability for MSPs. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: high · Description: Major edge infrastructure vendors restrict or deprecate the API access required to deploy automated patching and configuration changes. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: moderate · Description: MSPs reject fully headless operations due to strict compliance frameworks that mandate human-in-the-loop approvals for external perimeter modifications. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: low · Description: Building and maintaining the exploit simulation library for legacy or proprietary edge devices consumes disproportionate engineering resources. · Mitigation Status: mitigated

## Startup Business Definition

**Name**: Remediate Digital Vulnerabilities for Managed Service Providerss
**Layers**:
- **Thesis**: Service-as-Software
- **Template**: per-outcome-metered
- **Buyer Chain**: B2B2B (Abrasiveridge -> Managed Service Provider -> End-Client)
**Vision**:
- **Vision**: Managed Service Providers no longer carry the cost of remediate digital vulnerabilities; the work runs reliably in the background, and the team that used to do it is free for higher-leverage work in managed service providers.
- **Mission**: deliver remediate digital vulnerabilities for Managed Service Providers.
**Industry**: Managed Service Providers
