With the critical node of the shadow network disabled, the GTA begins analyzing the recovered data. Zane identifies several key players: rogue hackers, remnants of Codex, and criminal organizations seeking to exploit Vigil's decentralized nature. This discovery alarms the Guardians, as it highlights how Vigil's open architecture can be weaponized against itself.
To counter this, Zane and Yara propose Project Prism, an adaptive security framework that leverages machine learning to detect and isolate unauthorized activities across Vigil's network. The framework is designed to protect Vigil without infringing on privacy, maintaining its commitment to transparency.
Project Prism is deployed, and early tests prove effective in limiting shadow network activities. However, Nyla knows that the battle is far from over—the shadow network's adaptability means the GTA must remain vigilant and proactive.
