Research
Research That Feeds the Testing
We carry out our own vulnerability research in the kind of software our clients actually run. What we learn there is what we bring to your assessment.
Coordinated disclosure
Issues we find in third-party software go to the vendor first, under coordinated disclosure. Anything we publish follows the agreed disclosure timeline for that report.
Applied to your environment
Research is not a side project. The techniques we develop against real software are the ones we use when we test yours, which is why we find issues scanners do not.
Vendor acknowledgment
Our researchers have been acknowledged by major vendors for security reports. Details of specific research and advisories are available on request.
How we're different
We Break Software Before We Test Yours
A scan tells you what a tool already knows to look for. We do our own vulnerability research on software nobody paid us to break and that is what you are hiring when you hire us.
01
We research real software
We pull apart the kind of platforms our clients actually run MLOps tooling, network monitoring, AI applications and find the flaws the vendor missed. Those go to the vendor under coordinated disclosure.
02
The technique becomes a test
Every bug class we find upstream becomes a check we run downstream. By the time a technique reaches your assessment, we have already used it against production software and know exactly what it looks like.
03
You get what a scanner can't find
Business logic, chained authorisation gaps, protocol-level flaws. Every finding is reproduced by hand, explained in plain language, and retested after you fix it.
This is why we publish research rather than only consuming it. Breaking software we were not paid to break is how we build the techniques, tooling and judgement we bring to your environment and it is the part of our work you can verify independently.
