About Trail of Bits

Since 2012, Trail of Bits has helped secure some of the world's most targeted organizations and devices. We combine high-end security research with a real-world attacker mentality to reduce risk and fortify code.

We help our clientele — ranging from Facebook to DARPA — lead their industries. Their dedicated security teams come to us for our foundational tools and deep expertise in reverse engineering, cryptography, virtualization, malware, and software exploits. According to their needs, we may audit their products or networks, consult on modifications necessary for a secure deployment, or develop the features that close their security gaps.

After solving the problem at hand, we continue to refine our work in service to the deeper issues. The knowledge we gain from each engagement and research project further hones our tools and processes, and extends our software engineers' abilities. We believe the most meaningful security gains hide at the intersection of human intellect and computational power.

Top Talent

As a cybersecurity research and consulting firm, we serve clients in the defense, tech, finance, and blockchain industries. Our teams help with their most difficult security challenges by designing and building new technology, researching new techniques to advance the state of practice, and reviewing the security of the latest available technology products before they hit the market.

Our team is our most important area of investment. We take great pride in only accepting work we find interesting, engaging, and challenging.
