01 — Services

Audit, fuzzing,
training.

Full attack surface coverage: hardware, firmware, communication protocols, web interfaces, cryptography.

02 — Continuous

Fuzzing & Emulation

Emulate your firmware off physical hardware to fuzz at scale — no lab rig, no bring-up bottleneck. Full control over hardware and software behaviour, throughout development, for incremental remediation without impact on delivery.

Training & Awareness

Learn all about memory corruption attacks, their exploitation and counter-measures. Adapted to the audience's level, from development teams to non-technical staff. Already delivered at EPITA (Master's level) and MediaTek.

02 — Approach

From first commit
to final audit.

Security can be integrated at every stage of a product's development, from initial design to production release.

Phase 01

Design & architecture

Attack surface definition, cryptographic primitive selection, architecture review. Early involvement reduces the cost of remediation significantly.

Phase 02

Development support

Automated vulnerability detection and out-of-device testing for an integrated product security process. Easy bring-up, and no security regression.

Phase 03

Pentest & final audit

Audit or pentest of the product in production-equivalent conditions. Report with CVSS-based priority scoring, vulnerability classification and remediation recommendations. Team debrief.

Option

Team training

Training on common vulnerability patterns: memory corruption, injections, incorrect use of cryptography. Reduces the attack surface structurally over the long term.
