VicOne’s new xAurient goes beyond gathering fragmented global threat data to define precise attack paths and provide on-demand threat research services for efficient and effective protection. An automaker’s product cybersecurity personnel are freed to concentrate their efforts on deciding optimal risk treatments when designing newer automotive projects, evaluating current claims of threats to product security and assessing supply-chain partners.

xAurient—powered by VicOne’s battle-tested CyberThreat Research Lab—draws data from thousands of hidden TOR/Onion dark-web sources, and its artificial intelligence (AI) agent is trained on 30 years of threat intelligence to enable quick information gathering from social media and the web. The new VicOne solution uniquely factors a particular automaker’s risk landscape, automatically prioritizing and identifying the most critical risks with AI-powered autobuild or customizable product-security risk profiles.

Based on an open interface delivering seamless scalability, xAurient integrates with an automaker’s intrusion detection system (IDS), vehicle management system (VMS) and vehicle security operations center (VSOC) platforms. Automakers also can use the new VicOne solution as a standalone platform to accelerate response times and enhance tailored mitigation.

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Men who were part of the group of Venezuelan migrants that the United States government transferred earlier this year to a prison in El Salvador demanded justice on Friday, days after a federal judge in Washington ruled that the Trump administration must give them legal due process.

The men told reporters in Venezuela’s capital that they hope legal organizations can push their claims in court. Their press conference was organized by Venezuela’s government, which had previously said it had retained legal services for the immigrants.

On Monday, a federal judge ordered the U.S. government to give legal due process to the 252 Venezuelan men, either by providing court hearings or returning them to the U.S. The ruling opens a path for the men to challenge the Trump administration’s allegation that they are members of the Tren de Aragua gang and subject to removal under an 18th century wartime law.

The men have repeatedly said they were physically and psychologically tortured while at the notorious Salvadoran prison.

“Today, we are here to demand justice before the world for the human rights violations committed against each of us, and to ask for help from international organizations to assist us in our defense so that our human rights are respected and not violated again,” Andry Blanco told reporters in Caracas, where roughly two dozen of the migrants gathered Friday.

Some of the men shared the daily struggles they now face — including fear of leaving their home or encountering law enforcement — as a consequence of what they said were brutal abuses while in prison. The men did not specify what justice should look like in their case, but not all are interested in returning to the U.S.

“I don’t trust them,” Nolberto Aguilar said of the U.S. government.

The men were flown to El Salvador in March. They were sent to their home country in July as part of a prisoner swap between the Trump administration and the government of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.

Camilla Fabri, Venezuelan vice minister of foreign affairs for international communications, said Maduro's government is working with a bar association in the U.S. and “all human rights organizations to prepare a major lawsuit against Trump and the United States government, so that they truly acknowledge all the crimes they have committed against” the men.
