Why "Blue41"?

Our name reflects our mission.

Blue stands for the blue team: the defenders. In cybersecurity, the blue team monitors, detects, and stops attacks. That is exactly what we do for AI systems.

41 comes from leet speak ("1337"), the hacker language that emerged in the 1980s. In leet, the numbers 4 and 1 spell "AI." It is a subtle reference to hacker culture and the artificial intelligence systems we secure.
