Breakpoint Research Information

We build novel, mission-critical offensive cyber capabilities, to strengthen and advance democracy We specialise in vulnerability research, exploit development, and low-level engineering — identifying and analysing security vulnerabilities across complex targets from operating systems and firmware to embedded devices, building reliable exploits that demonstrate real mission impact, and helping our customers solve the difficult low-level problems that demand deep systems knowledge and hands-on R&D. Our work spans software and hardware, across platforms and architectures, with focus areas including reverse engineering, OS / kernel / userspace internals, mobile and embedded systems, firmware, hardware security, and tooling and automation. We gravitate toward the hardest problems, because that is where the most meaningful results are. We are a values-based team of researchers and engineers. We are relentlessly curious, unafraid to try new things, and proud of the courage it takes to take risks — owning our failures alongside our wins. Our culture is built on deep collaboration, a high bar, and an authentic belief that the work we do matters. VRED is a tough game, and at Breakpoint it is a team sport: we lift each other up, draw on each other's expertise, and act with honesty, humility and kindness.
