Security without guesswork
Find the risk that matters.
Fix it before it becomes expensive.
Connected products bring together applications, operating systems, cloud services and specialist hardware. Rootworks examines the whole system, turning technical findings into practical decisions for engineering and security teams.
How we workServices
Security work built around your product
Focused engagements that give technical teams a clear view of exposure, priority and next action.
02
Mobile application security
Assessment and reverse engineering for mobile applications that control, configure or communicate with connected products.
Understand application and API exposure
03
Vulnerability management
Track vulnerabilities across software components and deployed products, then prioritise remediation using real product context.
Focus engineering time on credible risk
04
Security architecture & consulting
Engage specialist security knowledge early in design and development, before weaknesses become costly production problems.
Build defensible products from the outset
05
Onsite GSM & Osmocom training
A two-day practical course where engineering teams build, connect and troubleshoot a private GSM lab using the Osmocom stack and an ip.access nanoBTS.
Turn GSM architecture into hands-on engineering knowledge
Engagement approach
From system context to engineering action
Every engagement is scoped around the product, its environment and the decisions your team needs to make.
-
01
Define
Map the product, interfaces, threat model and assurance goals.
-
02
Examine
Assess the implementation using targeted offensive and analytical techniques.
