Incidents, response & recovery
Real stories from the field: how we report vulnerabilities, handle ransomware and breaches, recover data, and guide organisations through the full incident lifecycle.
Hardware & deep engineering
Hardware hacking, reverse engineering, legacy systems and the deep engineering mindset behind how we design and secure real-world infrastructure.
