Research that leads the way
Our forward-thinking research team (AKA the TrustedSec Research Unit) produces practical TTPs to make your program more secure.

Our research ensures that TrustedSec consultants keep up with the ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape.
We develop advanced tooling with features and capabilities not found in the commercial market.
Meet Christopher Paschen, the TrustedSec Research Team Lead.


Our contributions to the community help us create a more secure world.
Because we constantly research and develop new TTPs, our archives are chock-full of ideas.
