Bishop Fox Labs
Innovative Research. Real-World Impact.
Our Labs team is dedicated to finding creative solutions to difficult security problems and then sharing that information freely.
We believe the only way to advance the state of security is to collaborate with the broader community, and we do our best to contribute tools, research, and knowledge that can improve the security and privacy of data and systems. We hope our work has real impact on real lives. It's what inspires us every day.
Driven by Mission & Vision
We're committed to innovation — and to openly sharing information.
We've invested in research from the very beginning because we believe everyone deserves to be secure online. This mission drives us to do better every day, to never stop learning, and to always be innovating. We use every tool in the box, and when we need something better, we build a new tool... and then add it to the toolbox so everyone benefits.
Our dedicated R&D team works with experts across our consulting and engineering organizations to develop new research, create novel security tools, and publish technical articles. In fact, we are proud to be the innovators and authors behind some of the most popular tools and most important findings in the offensive security space.
