Chapter 18: Foundation
"Sentinel?" Amelia asked with narrowed eyes as she clicked open the software uploaded on her laptop by Ethan.
"A security software I developed. The one responsible for finding those vulnerabilities in your systems in just a couple seconds."
Her neutral expression cracked just a little and her lips parted slightly, but she quickly masked her reaction with a controlled breath.
"You built your own vulnerability scanner?"
Ethan chuckled. "Scanner? Ms. Rhodes, please. Sentinel is a lot more than just a vulnerability scanner."
"Sentinel is a tool that automates security assessments, detected vulnerabilities in real time, and offered clear, actionable solutions."
Ethan enjoyed the change in her expression as she went through the software and saw its capabilities.
He leaned back in his chair, the chibi avatar mimicking him as always. "What I sent you is a watered-down demo, nothing even close to the real deal. But it’s enough to show you what it’s capable of."
"You-" Amelia stuttered as she searched for the right words, "you built this?"
Her surprise was justified, after all, even though sentinel was not at the state Ethan imagined yet, it was years above anything cyber security softwares of 2010 could offer.
"Of course," Ethan replied with a smile before adding, "and I’m offering Google first bid on it."
