Rootworks Cyber Security
Specialist security assessment, device hardware testing and assurance for connected vehicles, embedded platforms, mobile applications and the software that supports them.
North West based, near Liverpool, Manchester and Leeds Nationwide coverage
Security without guesswork
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
Focused engagements that give technical teams a clear view of exposure, priority and next action.
Hands-on assessment including chip-off and in-circuit firmware extraction, secure boot and debug access verification, controlled device modification and custom test harness development.
Security assessment for infotainment, telematics, IoT devices and embedded platforms, including Linux and QNX environments.
Assessment and reverse engineering for mobile applications that control, configure or communicate with connected products.
Track vulnerabilities across software components and deployed products, then prioritise remediation using real product context.
Engage specialist security knowledge early in design and development, before weaknesses become costly production problems.
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.
Engagement approach
Every engagement is scoped around the product, its environment and the decisions your team needs to make.
Map the product, interfaces, threat model and assurance goals.
Assess the implementation using targeted offensive and analytical techniques.
Separate credible product risk from noise and theoretical exposure.
Give engineering teams clear evidence and practical remediation direction.
Technical expertise
Rootworks works across the boundaries between hardware, operating systems, applications and connected services, where product security issues are often hardest to see.
