Products

Applied knowledge, in the shape of something you can use.

Polygon Cyber is a cyber security company and a cybernetics company. The second word explains the products. Cybernetics is the study of how a system and the people in it steer each other — so we build tools that extend what a person can do, rather than tools that do it for them or watch them doing it.

A finding in a report is knowledge nobody can act on. The same knowledge built into software becomes something a person uses on a Tuesday afternoon: faster work, better decisions, more of the day spent on the part they actually care about.

Two of these are security tools. Three are a flower farm, a classroom and a kitchen. That is not a detour — it is the argument. The domain changes; the conviction does not.

Polygon Glass is in pilot on its own domain; Polygon Siphon and BloomKeeper are in beta. The other two are in active development and not yet generally available — we would rather say that plainly than imply a finished portfolio.

Polygon Siphon

Data loss prevention Beta Overview →

What it is

A scanner for the case where pattern-based tooling quietly fails. It normalises content before it matches — undoing the encoding, padding, and separator tricks that move sensitive data past a naive matcher — then validates every candidate against a checksum rather than reporting it and hoping.

Why it exists

Review queues fail from volume, not from missing detections. A scanner producing ten thousand findings a day has not protected anything; it has moved the problem to a human who cannot keep up. Siphon exists to make the queue small enough to read.

Language: Rust
Coverage: 561 patterns · 126 categories
Validation: 72 checksum validators
Formats: 20+ file types

Polygon Trace

Investigation workspace In development Overview →

What it is

A workspace for a case with too much evidence and not enough shape. Photos, video, audio, documents and notes are enriched on device, then projected six ways — timeline, map, actor files, link graph, competing hypotheses — with a freeform light table for the stage before a case has a structure.

Why it exists

An investigation fails two ways: you miss a link, or you fall in love with your first hypothesis. Most tools only help you find what you already remember. Trace surfaces the connection you had no reason to look for, then argues with the conclusion you reached.

Platform: macOS · iPadOS
Views: When · where · who · what · why · how
Processing: On device, 36 stage flags
Custody: Verifiable hash chain

Polygon Glass

Education platform Pilot · glass.polygoncyber.ca

What it is

A courseware platform in pilot, built for university students to work through rather than watch. Modules are pages a student can annotate, tasks are timed and explicit, and an institution keeps its own material rather than renting it back. Running now at glass.polygoncyber.ca.

Why it exists

Most security education teaches vocabulary and tests recall. Glass is built on the belief that what is worth teaching is how to reason about a system you did not build — which needs material a student argues with, not a video they finish.

Status: Pilot · standalone
Format: HTML, institution-owned
Design: Light surface · larger body
Domain: Higher education

BloomKeeper

Flower farm management Beta Overview →

What it is

An offline-first iPad companion for cut-flower growers. A morning briefing of conditions, ready harvests and bouquets the day's stems can fill; a farm map drawn to scale; a row planner; a voice-first journal; and a botanical reference shelf that reads your own beds back to you.

Why it exists

A first-year grower is expected to hold hardiness zones, succession timing, soil chemistry, pest cycles and cost per stem in their head while doing the physical work. A small farm should get the same decision support as an operation with an agronomist on retainer.

Platform: iPad, offline-first
Field tools: 7 on a drawn farm map
Bundled: Crop and threat libraries
Naming: Stands alone, no prefix

Mise

Recipe app In development

What it is

A recipe app organised around what you are actually doing: what has to be prepped before you start, what can run in parallel, and what happens last. Consumer-facing, and no account required to cook something.

Why it exists

The smallest product here, and the clearest test of the idea that automation should make capability ordinary. A tool that removes the tedious part of a task is the same tool whether the task is triaging alerts or getting dinner out on time.

Audience: Anyone cooking
Organised by: Sequence and parallelism
Naming: Stands alone, no prefix
Accounts: Not required

What they have in common

Automation, pointed at the tedious half

Every one of these takes a task that a competent person could do by hand, at a volume no competent person can sustain, and moves that volume to software. What is left is the part that needed judgement in the first place.

That is the same argument whether the volume is a review queue, a reconstruction, a semester of material, a season of plantings, or a Tuesday evening.
