Source selection

We use a maintained set of government, CERT, vulnerability authority, vendor, and established security-reporting domains. Each article requires multiple independent sources, including an authoritative source.

Automation and validation

Amazon Nova can assist with discovery, drafting, and critique. Deterministic checks independently enforce safe structure, allowlisted sources, approved BlackShield claims, topic novelty, visible citations, and a forward-looking 8-minute minimum for new public articles. Older short posts remain available at their original URLs, but new automated source digests that fail the depth floor are retried or quarantined rather than published as full articles.

Attribution and corrections

Articles carry the organizational byline BlackShield Research rather than inventing a human author. Source links remain visible. Material corrections update the modification date, and retained object versions support rollback or removal.
