    Directed Vulnerability Research

    We conduct directed vulnerability and exploit research to improve our slate of defensive products or provide customized products to our customers.

Why Use Shift5 Labs?

Unlike most cybersecurity companies who primarily focus on information technology (IT) systems and packet switched networks, Shift5 Labs is the premier expert in finding vulnerabilities in OT, embedded systems, and associated serial data protocols. We have deep expertise in serial bus protocols that control critical military and industrial systems, such as MIL-STD-1553B, CAN 2.0, J1939, RS-232, ARINC 429, etc.
