What We Do
The Advanced Threat Research (ATR) team researches hardware and software vulnerabilities, gains a deep understanding about how those vulnerabilities are exploited, and suggests policies and practices to protect against those exploits. ATR also discovers new vulnerabilities and coordinates their public disclosure with the affected technology vendors.
A description of our disclosure process is available for reference.
What's New
Threat Landscape Dashboard | 2017-02-13
Security administrators responsible for safeguarding systems, networks, and digital systems face the overwhelming task of keeping up with the most significant threats. To serve those admins, we designed a new dashboard to identify the most significant threats and illustrate the relationships between them. Learn more.
Areas of Focus
Security of Platform Hardware and Firmware
Our research helps platform and BIOS manufacturers improve security of system firmware implementations.
Security of Virtualization Technologies
Virtualization security has become important in the data center and on the endpoint. Our team provides technical descriptions of threats and mitigations as well as tools for assessing systems.
Security of Crypto Software
The ATR team analyzes crypto software, including SSL/TLS and general purpose crypto libraries.
Threat Intelligence
We investigate emerging threats and work with global law enforcement to stop cyber criminals.
CHIPSEC
CHIPSEC is a framework for hardware and firmware security assessment, enabling security research, testing, and forensics.
