About Bloodhound

Eliminating the $400 billion annual cost of software vulnerabilities—one codebase at a time.

Our Mission

Save businesses millions by finding the vulnerabilities others miss.

Traditional security tools catch only 42% of production vulnerabilities. We catch 94.3%. That 52% gap represents the difference between a secure business and a catastrophic breach.

Founded in 2024, we’re a research lab disguised as a security company. Our home-grown neural network architecture—trained on 2.8 million real-world vulnerabilities—detects patterns that rule-based scanners fundamentally cannot see.

The result? Our clients have saved $1.7M+ in prevented breaches, infrastructure waste, and lost productivity. We don’t just find bugs. We prevent financial disasters.

Vulnerability Severity Scoring

Svuln(x) = σ(∑i=1n wi·fi(x) + b)

Expanded form:

Svuln = 1/(1+e-(α·E+β·I+γ·C+δ·T))

where:

E = ∫01 p(exploit|vuln) dx

I = log2(impact$) / max(log2(I))

C = McCabe(G) / (V(G) + 1)

T = temporal decay factor

α=0.45, β=0.35, γ=0.15, δ=0.05

Sigmoid activation with cyclomatic complexity normalization and logarithmic impact scaling ensures critical vulnerabilities rise to top priority.

Cross-Entropy Loss Function

ℒ(θ) = -1/N ∑i=1Nc=1C yic·log(ŷic)

Gradient descent update:

θt+1 = θt - η·∇θℒ(θt)

With Adam optimizer:

mt = β1mt-1 + (1-β1)gt

vt = β2vt-1 + (1-β2)gt2

θt = θt-1 - η·m̂t/(√v̂t+ε)

η=0.001, β1=0.9, β2=0.999

Multi-class cross-entropy with adaptive moment estimation achieves optimal convergence in 27-dimensional vulnerability space.

Pattern Detection Complexity

T(n,m,k) = O(n·log(n) + m·k·d)

Space complexity:

S(n) = O(n + V·E)

AST parsing:

Tparse = Θ(n) average case

Graph traversal:

Tgraph = O(V + E·log(V))

where:

n = LOC, m = deps, k = patterns

d = max depth, V = nodes, E = edges

Logarithmic scaling enables real-time analysis of enterprise codebases without sacrificing detection accuracy.

Information-Theoretic Confidence

H(Y|X) = -∑x p(x) ∑y p(y|x)·log p(y|x)

Mutual information:

I(X;Y) = H(Y) - H(Y|X)

Bayesian confidence:

P(vuln|code) = P(code|vuln)·P(vuln)/P(code)

KL divergence:

DKL(P||Q) = ∑x P(x)·log(P(x)/Q(x))

Threshold: DKL > 0.85

Entropy-based confidence scoring and KL divergence thresholding achieve industry-leading 0.7% false positive rate.

Advanced Theoretical Foundations

Statistical Learning Theory

VC-dimension generalization bound:

P[suph∈H|R(h)-R̂(h)| > ε] ≤ 4mH(2m)e-ε²m/8

Rademacher complexity:

m(H) = Eσ[suph∈H 1/m ∑i=1mσih(xi)]

PAC-Bayesian bound:

KL(ρ||π) + ln((2√m)/δ) / λ ≥ R(ρ)

Enables provable guarantees on generalization error with sample complexity O(d/ε²)

Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space

Kernel trick in feature space:

K(x,x') = ⟨φ(x),φ(x')⟩H

Representer theorem:

f*(x) = ∑i=1n αiK(xi,x)

Mercer's condition:

K(x,y) = ∑i=1 λiφi(x)φi(y), λi≥0

Infinite-dimensional feature spaces with finite computational cost

Information Geometry

Fisher information metric:

gij(θ) = E[∂ilog p(x|θ) · ∂jlog p(x|θ)]

Natural gradient descent:

θt+1 = θt - ηG-1t)∇θL(θt)

Wasserstein-2 distance:

W2(μ,ν)² = infγ∈Γ(μ,ν)∫||x-y||²dγ(x,y)

Riemannian geometry on probability manifolds for optimal transport

Stochastic Optimization

Langevin dynamics (SDE):

t = -∇U(θt)dt + √(2β-1)dWt

Fokker-Planck equation:

tp(θ,t) = ∇·(∇U(θ)p(θ,t)) + β-1Δp(θ,t)

Polyak-Łojasiewicz (PL) inequality:

||∇f(θ)||² ≥ 2μ(f(θ)-f*), ∀θ ∈ ℝd

Convergence to global minimum with linear rate under PL condition

Research Impact

These theoretical frameworks—from VC theory to stochastic differential equations—form the mathematical foundation of our neural network architecture. By leveraging Riemannian optimization on statistical manifolds and RKHS-based kernel methods, we achieve provably optimal convergence rates while maintaining computational efficiency for real-time vulnerability detection.
