Intelligence that never stops learning

BlackDice IQ is the intelligent core that keeps the BlackDice Halo platform learning, adapting, and protecting at scale. It turns raw data into predictive insight – evolving in real time to detect, prevent, and outsmart emerging cyber threats. It powers the BlackDice Halo ecosystem with adaptive machine learning that sees, understands, and responds faster than human-led systems.

Key Features

  • AI-powered threat modelling and forecasting: Identifies and predicts emerging threats using adaptive learning and real-time data.
  • Behavioural anomaly detection and analysis: Spots deviations in network or device behaviour to uncover hidden risks and zero-day attacks.
  • Risk scoring for devices and networks: Quantifies exposure levels with dynamic scoring that prioritises where action is needed most.
  • Continuous self-learning algorithms: Constantly refines its models using live global data, ensuring the system grows smarter with every detection.

Why us?

BlackDice IQ is the AI and machine learning engine that powers the entire BlackDice Halo platform – turning network and device data into predictive intelligence. It analyses behaviour, detects anomalies, and evolves continuously to anticipate threats before they strike.

Traditional DNS filters only block known bad traffic – we predict what’s next. BlackDice IQ uses behavioural AI and federated learning to detect emerging threats before they’re identified by signature databases.

Every deployment strengthens the next. Using federated learning, BlackDice IQ learns from patterns across all connected networks while keeping each operator’s data private – meaning the system constantly improves against new threats.

Deployment in as little as 6 weeks; with a rapid 2-week pilot/PoC phase.

The agent installs via standard TR-069/369 protocols, is completely hardware agnostic (works on new and legacy router models), and is currently integrated across 12+ router brands (Nokia, Huawei, Linksys, Sagemcom, etc.). It also integrates with your existing OSS/BSS.

No hardware swaps. No complex overlays.

Unlike DNS-only or static systems, BlackDice IQ operates at the router and device level, combining local edge agents with cloud-based ML. That means continuous learning, real-time response, and zero dependency on heavy infrastructure or user installs.

Our lightweight CPE agent analyses metadata and DNS traffic, sending encrypted, pseudonymised signals to the BlackDice IQ engine. The engine correlates billions of data points – device types, behaviour patterns, domains – to flag anomalies, score risk, and update defences in milliseconds.

BlackDice IQ combines LSTM neural networks with supervised classifiers for anomaly detection, threat correlation, and device fingerprinting. This allows it to identify zero-day and polymorphic threats that static systems miss – with minimal false positives.

We don’t store payloads or personal data. BlackDice IQ only analyses metadata (like domain queries and device types), all hashed and anonymised, and complies with GDPR and local data sovereignty laws. Operators have role-based access only, and subscribers retain complete privacy.

And if cloud connection drops, our protection doesn’t stop. Our agent caches local policies and continues enforcing them until it reconnects – so subscribers remain protected even during outages.

Not a generic AI tool. BlackDice IQ is crafted for telecom environments. We understand routing behaviour, network hierarchies, device drift, and subscriber dynamics. That means less friction in integration, lower false positives, and security that works in harmony with your network topology and commercial goals.

Where other vendors retrofit enterprise security for telcos, BlackDice IQ was engineered from the ground up for carrier-grade environments. It processes billions of telemetry signals in real time, correlates anomalies across entire subscriber bases, and adapts protection dynamically without manual rule updates.

The result?

Predictive protection that scales with your network, not against it – giving operators actionable intelligence and measurable quality-of-experience gains.

  • Stay ahead of emerging and unknown threats: Predict and prevent attacks before they impact subscribers or services.
  • Improve incident response and decision-making: Gain actionable insights through real-time analytics and behavioural data.
  • Align with evolving regulatory and security needs: Ensure compliance and resilience in an increasingly complex threat landscape.
  • Optimise threat management at scale: Use AI-driven intelligence to protect millions of endpoints efficiently and automatically.

BlackDice IQ isn’t static AI; it’s a living, self-learning ecosystem. Every router, device, and agent connected to the BlackDice Halo platform feeds encrypted telemetry into BlackDice IQ’s distributed learning loop.

Using federated learning and behavioural AI, BlackDice IQ continuously refines its threat models without exposing private data.

Unlike traditional DNS-based cybersecurity that waits for known threats, BlackDice IQ predicts and prevents them; analysing behaviour at the device edge to identify anomalies and autonomously adjust policy. The result is a self-optimising network that evolves with every connection, getting smarter, faster, and more precise every day – keeping operators and subscribers protected at scale.

"Every connection teaches it to protect the next; turning raw network data into predictive insight that evolves in real time to detect, prevent, and outsmart emerging threats. BlackDice IQ is adaptive machine learning built for telcos – technology that sees, understands, and responds faster than human-led systems, keeping both networks and subscribers one step ahead."
