About Hiberden

Hiberden is a desktop archiving app that gives you provable 3-2-1 protection for large media libraries. Archive projects to LTO tape (LTFS, with multi-cartridge spanning), local disk, NAS, and S3-compatible cloud from one catalog, and see at a glance which projects are fully covered, at risk, or unprotected. Every file is hashed (SHA-256) at write time, and a copy is only marked Verified after Hiberden reads it back off the media and re-checks every hash, so your catalog is evidence, not a hope. Scheduled verification sweeps re-check copies over time and catch silent corruption before you need the files back. Find any file across every copy instantly, including offline tapes. A built-in MCP server lets AI assistants like Claude answer "is the Johnson wedding safe, and where?" straight from your catalog. Windows 10/11; Linux in beta. Free trial, then a one-time perpetual license with no subscription. Built for studios, archivists, and anyone whose files must outlive their hardware.

Defacta

Defacta is an independent verification layer that checks AI-generated or external text against credible sources before it informs decisions, publications, or filings. It replicates the human verification process as a structured, multi-stage pipeline, using LLMs only to accelerate specific steps while constraining them with fresh data retrieval and source-grounded analysis. The platform extracts key claims from pasted text, articles, URLs, or AI outputs and checks them against independent sources, fact-checking registries, and credibility signals. It flags hallucinations, fabricated citations, unsupported assertions, bias, manipulation patterns, and misleading framing. Reports combine factual findings, source metadata, risk indicators, and recommended actions. Every report is timestamped with SHA-256 hashes, creating a durable audit trail. Users can edit text, generate repair prompts, re-check changes, and compare versions.

Index Engines

Paying to maintain legacy backup catalogs is expensive. Getting data off legacy tape has been a long, complex process. Ignoring backup data archives can be a governance nightmare. Index Engines empowers organizations to make smarter decisions regarding legacy backup data through patented direct indexing technology that does not require the original backup software. This non-invasive scan of backup images on tape or disk allows intelligence to be obtained about the contents: files types, dates, users, and more. Extraction allows the selection and specific content to be gathered for ad hoc requests or a complete compliance-driven migration. Index Engines clients range from small data environments that manage terabytes of content to global firms that support complex data environments measured in petabytes. Deployments include everything from data minimization, legacy backup catalog and data consolidation, to ransomware recovery and governance readiness.
