Atredis Partners
With offices all around the United States and Canada, Atredis Partners was created by a number of security industry veterans who wanted to prioritize offering quality and client needs over the pressure to grow rapidly at the expense of delivery and execution. We wanted to build something better, for the long haul. Atredis Partners team members have written five books on information security topics, and have presented our research over fifty times at the BlackHat Briefings conference in Europe, Japan, and the United States, as well as other notable security conferences, delivering groundbreaking research and training on web, network, software, mobile and embedded exploitation. We deliver the same class of confidential security research and penetration testing for our clients, focusing on everything from low level embedded assessments to complex mobile platforms and complex application stacks. In 2015, we expanded our offerings to also include an advanced Risk and Advisory practice. Our risk practice works alongside our researchers and penetration testers, helping CISOs and CIOs turn complex technical threats and vulnerabilities into actionable plans to transform our clients’ security, both technically and culturally.
