About

IOActive is a boutique cybersecurity consultancy headquartered in Seattle, Washington, renowned for its deep expertise in IoT security, embedded systems, SCADA/ICS testing, and hardware hacking. Founded in 1998, IOActive has earned a reputation as the firm that organizations turn to when they need to test the security of complex, non-traditional systems that most penetration testing companies cannot handle.

Their consultants are world-class researchers who have discovered critical vulnerabilities in automotive systems, medical devices, satellite communications, industrial control systems, ATMs, and smart city infrastructure. IOActive's team regularly publishes groundbreaking research and presents at top-tier security conferences including Black Hat, DEF CON, and CanSecWest.

Beyond IoT and embedded systems, IOActive offers comprehensive application security testing, network penetration testing, red teaming, and source code review services. The firm takes a research-driven approach to every engagement, applying the same rigor they use in vulnerability research to client assessments. IOActive serves clients in critical infrastructure, automotive, healthcare, financial services, and technology sectors globally. Their small but exceptionally skilled team of around 50 consultants includes multiple recognized industry experts and published authors in the security field.
