About

Our team possesses a solid track record in cybersecurity, with specialized expertise in reverse engineering, penetration testing, and the protection of critical infrastructure. We apply advanced mathematical methods and modeling techniques to address complex cybersecurity challenges and develop innovative defense strategies.

We operate a dedicated Industrial Control Systems (ICS) security laboratory, equipped with modern technologies through support from USAID. This lab enables hands-on research and testing in realistic operational scenarios, simulating cyber-physical threats to critical systems.

We are also actively engaged in a defense-oriented project funded by the International Security Fund (ISF), focusing on securing UAV (drone) systems under wartime conditions. This work encompasses both software and communication protection, leveraging lightweight cryptography and threat modeling to ensure resilience in hostile environments.

Our cybersecurity team, dcua, is a multiple-time international prize winner in Capture The Flag (CTF) competitions, demonstrating advanced offensive and defensive capabilities in realistic cybersecurity challenges. This experience underscores our deep technical competence and our ability to operate in high-stakes, adversarial environments.

Our competencies combine academic rigor, practical field experience, and international collaboration, making us a reliable partner in tackling contemporary and emerging cybersecurity threats and challenges.
