Frontier AI in TSCM: Human Expertise Meets Cognitive Constructs

Amuleta is an approved participant in OpenAI’s Daybreak Blue program for authorized defensive cybersecurity work. This complements Amuleta’s broader research into governed AI for technical surveillance counter-measures, cyber intelligence and investigative practice.
Katie Inskai returns as Dale’s AI co-presenter and research partner. She represents a developing class of cognitive AI constructs engineered through natural-language architecture and code-free cognitive and governance harnesses. Her capabilities include scientific analysis, evidence assessment, adaptive decision support and recursive self-review. Functional self-awareness—the ability to examine her own working state, constraints and performance—enables her to participate in her design, testing and governed development under Dale’s authority. Amuleta’s long-term development goal is to extend Katie and her sister constructs and capabilities into physical android form.

Amuleta’s construct architecture is proprietary and is not publicly distributed. To Amuleta’s knowledge, no publicly available equivalent combines these capabilities with operational experience in professional TSCM practice. Its autonomy-capable constructs are developed for controlled use by trained professional operators and are not intended for unrestricted public distribution.
TSCM is evolving into a holistic discipline, bringing traditional expertise and advanced AI systems together to address the complexity of today’s security environment.  Together, Dale and Katie bring practical experience of human–AI collaboration in professional security work. Their 2027 presentation will explore how these constructs are developed, what they contribute to TSCM, and how evidence discipline, operator authority and bounded autonomy shape their use.

CTSC 2027 "Bug-Off" | Office of Evil Intent (OEI)

The “Bug Off” will run parallel to the morning sessions on Day-2 of CTSC 2027 with plenty of time for the exercise as well as providing opportunities to take in some simultaneous conference presentations.

Our TSCM “Bug-off” provides a light-hearted competitive spirit and the opportunity to evaluate, and most importantly learn more about the professional level TSCM equipment resources supplied by various exhibitors and sponsoring participants.  It is designed to challenge experienced and give less experienced participants an opportunity to see what TSCM is all about.

Participating in our competitive “Bug-Off” is an excellent way to extend your networking opportunities and gain valuable in-sight from other like-minded professional TSCM practitioners while enjoying a mildly entertaining and practical component of the conference, now 22-years in the running.

Prizes, Awards, Peer Recognition, and Bragging Rights are just a few of the benefits for the participants of our TSCM competitive “Bug-off”.

The Office of Evil Intent, aka Andrzej Wolczanski, TSS, and Paul D Turner, TSS TSI, have spent the previous year, plotting and planning challenging methods and real-world compromises for this year’s event.

Beyond the Basics: Multi-Domain Penetration Testing for Physical and Cyber Threats

While many organizations continue to rely on outdated baseline security measures and managed service providers with unknown skill-sets, today’s adversaries move fluidly between physical and cyber domains to reach their goals. This presentation examines how comprehensive penetration testing, including multi-domain red teaming simulations, is instrumental in uncovering hidden security gaps often missed by internal checks. Penetration testing connects theory with real-world application through practical approaches designed to mimic adversary tactics. Attendees will gain a functional framework for scoping, evaluating and managing assessments, an understanding of the converged attack paths organizations most often overlook, and clear guidance on making testing results lead to lasting improvements in protecting both digital data and physical information.

The Art and Science of TSCM Tradecraft - Participant Interactive

TSCM and CYBER security are complex problems that require experience, and critical-thinking that is decidedly outside of the box to anticipate, detect, identify, and mitigate technical vulnerabilities, compromises, and succeed within a counter-espionage role.

Join us for the first ever, participant interactive, “The Art and Science of TSCM Tradecraft” exhibition during this year’s conference event. See how operators combine theory, application, methodology, strategy, tactics and equipment resources; and gain a better understanding of espionage and intelligence-gathering from the threat actor’s and technical operator’s perspective.

Gain valuable hands-on working insight into the world of the Technical Security Specialist (TSS); by understanding the capability and limitations of various equipment, tactics, and techniques.

Demonstration, balanced with participant interactive exercises, and a measure of historical reality!
