FULL STACK SECURITY ASSESSMENTS
Most security companies only scan for threats at the network or application level. IOActive is the only global provider that looks at your entire system.

CONNECT WITH A SECURITY TRAINING EXPERT
With our state-of-the-art Full Stack Security assessments, we identify potential gaps throughout your environment. We drill all the way down to the facility and semiconductor level; we go all the way up to strategic impacts of personnel, process, and supply-chain security. We also carefully assess every layer in between.
- Our assessment of all levels of the technology stack makes IOActive a true “one-stop-shop” for high-end cybersecurity expertise – the only one of its kind in the industry
- Most companies’ current protection strategies rely on end-point security. Our layered security strategy provides increased protection, and increases the difficulty of exploitation
- At higher levels of the stack, we assess a wide range of strategic elements, including programs, policies, and governance
PENETRATION TESTING
Know the difference between high-skill attack simulation and basic vulnerability testing. Your adversaries definitely do.
Protecting customer privacy and preserving intellectual property presents a challenge to every organization. Some of the most security-savvy corporations have experienced a devastating loss of revenue and reputational damage due to serious security breaches. An effective penetration test (pen test) can help you face the challenge. Pen testing simulates attempts to breach your organization’s or product’s security, giving you a clearer understanding of the risks and consequences of an attack.
With proficiency far beyond off-the-shelf tools or remotely managed services, IOActive leverages the attacker’s perspective to identify the highest risk vulnerabilities and provide actionable recommendations for remediation.
For over twenty years IOActive has been at the forefront of penetration testing across the full spectrum of technologies:
- Mobile Applications
- Infrastructure
- Wireless
- Cloud Environments
- Embedded Devices
- Web Services
Going deeper than traditional pen test companies, IOActive incorporates your industry’s unique requirements and risk factors into our methodologies and analysis to ensure the most effective testing and remediation recommendations.
CODE REVIEW
Unparalleled experience across the full spectrum of languages.
IOActive consultants have decades of code auditing experience and routinely assist organizations with the highly complex security challenges that technological innovation can introduce when developing new products.
Our experienced team also identify vulnerable points in a design, such as legacy interoperability, and uncover flaws that can result in a security compromise. We deliver detailed documentation of the location and nature of each problem we find and advise your developers on how to address the immediate problem as well as avoid similar issues in the future.
Our manual code review assessments can include:
- Instrumented fuzzing
- Entry-point analysis
- Risk-based reviews
- Full coverage reviews
- Reverse engineering
There is no language our team hasn’t encountered. They have deep experience across the full spectrum of languages and platforms, including C/C++, Objective-C, Java, Swift, Pascal, Object Pascal, ASM, Perl, Python, Go, Ruby, ASP.NET, C#, PHP, Rust, Cobol and proprietary programming languages.
REVERSE ENGINEERING
A deeper dive from the attacker’s perspective.
IOActive experts dissect the physical and logical security of your solution to identify weaknesses and vulnerabilities that could allow hackers to retrieve confidential or secret data or to subvert the system for unauthorized use or malicious attack. Our teams employ advanced custom techniques to spot implementation issues, analyze the use of cryptographic primitives, and uncover hidden backdoors intentional or otherwise.
IOActive will reverse engineer binaries to:
- Discover vulnerabilities
- Identify how a process works, such as an authentication method
- Document existing proprietary network protocols or file formats
- Gather necessary information for other testing techniques, such as fuzzing
- Trace the use and storage of sensitive information, such as accounts, certificates, encryption keys
IOActive uses both static and dynamic reverse-engineering methods. We perform static reverse engineering offline, disassembling binaries, reviewing directory structures and files. By contrast, we perform dynamic reverse engineering while the target is executing. This allows us to leverage the target’s runtime behavior during our analysis. The runtime behaviors tell us what type of resources are used, such as files, network requests, and shared objects, and allows us to trace the execution flow and track the functions that are in use.
Understanding that reverse engineering an entire process is impractical, IOActive identifies interesting entry points, such as points where data is received from the network. We trace only those points or paths that are likely to produce security vulnerabilities. We use commercially available tools, such as IDA Pro, OllyDbg, and Hex-Rays Decompiler, as well as proprietary software tools to understand how the process works.
SIDE CHANNEL ANALYSIS
Side Channel Analysis and Fault Injection are methodologies used in our end-to-end embedded systems assessments, which also include silicon analysis. IOActive approaches deep embedded penetration testing as a continuing escalation of efforts. Our consultants first attempt to mitigate side channels, then employ the advanced techniques of SCA/FI to determine whether or not a particular side channel is exploitable.
With embedded device and silicon hacking labs in Seattle, WA, Cheltenham, UK and Madrid, Spain, IOActive is the only consultancy with deep expertise across all areas of embedded device security.
