Cyber System Assessments
Our team discovers novel vulnerabilities in systems ranging from computers and cellphones to cars and jet fighters. In order to improve the defenses of systems, we use reverse engineering to find ways to maintain control over hardware and software. We coordinate with the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community to evaluate cyber defense systems and enable effective cyber operations.
