IOActive

Independent research-led firm specialising in hardware, automotive and ICS testing

Overview

IOActive has been independent since 1998 and says its researchers have spent nearly 30 years testing everything from cloud stacks to connected cars and integrated circuits[7]. It serves clients from top-tier Fortune firms to small and mid-sized businesses[7].

IOActive is known for hardware and embedded research. Its published work includes analysis of attack paths to the avionics network of a commercial aircraft, airport industrial control system security, fault-injection attacks on drones and a vulnerability in digital licence plates[7].
