We hack robots
before attackers do.
We specialise in offensive security for robots, drones and autonomous systems. We apply the same threat-model-first method across web, mobile, APIs, cloud, infrastructure and AI, in every industry.
◇ Complete autonomous-system assessment within 10 business days of validated intake. You get a threat model, mapped attack paths, exploitable findings and ranked risk, with kill chains and remediation.
Robots and drones are where we specialise.
Finding and closing attack paths is what we do. Across every industry.
Robots, drones & autonomous systems
Machine, firmware, sensors, RF, GNSS, cloud, operator apps and embedded AI, assessed as one connected cyber-physical system.

Web, mobile, APIs, cloud and infrastructure, plus AI, with threat modelling, attack-path mapping, purple teaming and continuous red teaming.
Explore all servicesBuilt for every machine
that senses, decides and moves.
A drone is one shape of the problem. Humanoids, warehouse robots, cobots and quadrupeds share the same anatomy: sensors, compute, radios, cloud and an AI in control. If it can act in the physical world, it has an attack surface. We test the whole class.
See it for your industry.
The same threat-model-first method, tuned to your sector's threats, fraud patterns and regulations.
Your robot is an ecosystem,
not an isolated device.
Six layers, each its own way in. Each with two kinds of consequence: data that leaves, and a machine that moves. We test all six as one connected system.
Firmware & OS
Extract firmware, forge signed updates, and own the machine from boot. Persistently.
Sensors & cameras
Tap live video and audio, and spoof the very sensors the robot trusts to move safely.
Radio · RF · GNSS
Intercept command links and spoof GNSS to drive it off course. A physical-safety event.
Operator apps
Lift operator credentials and issue commands as a trusted user, from anywhere.
Cloud & APIs
Cross tenants, reach every unit in a fleet, and pull customer, employee and location data.
Embedded AI
Inject instructions through what it reads or sees, and push the model past its safety guardrails into unsafe action.
And attackers move
faster than your patch cycle.
A connected machine inherits the whole internet's tempo. By the time a fix ships, the route has usually already been walked.
Negative. Exploitation now routinely begins before the patch exists. In 2018 you had 63 days.
From intrusion to handing your network to whoever monetises it. In 2022 that window was over eight hours.
Vulnerability exploitation has overtaken stolen credentials as the leading way in.
Up from 32. Defenders slowed down by a third while attackers moved to exploiting pre-patch.
MAP → MODEL → CHAIN → BREAK → HARDEN
One threat-intelligence-led method, run across the machine, its communications, the cloud, the apps and the AI. Every step narrows the route to what actually matters.
We don't start with a vulnerability scanner. We start with the threat model.
Threat modelling and attack-path mapping run first, on every engagement. A drone, a web app, a cloud tenant or an AI agent. STRIDE, MITRE ATT&CK and PASTA, applied before we test.
The robot, firmware, OS, ROS/ROS 2, sensors, debug ports, radios, command stations, apps, APIs, cloud and update infrastructure, as one system.
Assets, trust boundaries, operators and admins, the adversaries that target your sector, and the cyber-physical safety cases.
Weaknesses connected into real routes to the crown jewels: fleet control, video, PII, physical operation and safety systems.
Real actor TTPs and IOCs, MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise + ICS, executed inside an agreed test boundary. Proof, not theory.
Findings, kill chains, business and safety impact, detection gaps and remediation by engineering owner. Plus one retest.
Because we know your crown jewels and trust boundaries before a single test, the testing time goes to the paths that actually reach them.
Not CVSS in isolation. A “medium” on the only path to your fleet controller outranks a “high” that leads nowhere.
We map the toxic combinations and find the single fix that collapses a dozen routes at once.
◇ Applied to robots and drones. Applied to every ThreatScout engagement, in every industry.
The capabilities behind our assessments,
and yours to book on their own.
Robotics is our specialism; these are the disciplines that make it possible. Each is a standalone engagement, available to robotics companies and organisations across every industry.

Robotics + every industryYour robot, tested end to end.
In 10 days, know exactly how it can be broken.
We test the machine, its communications, applications, cloud and intelligence as one connected system. We show your engineers how to close every exploitable route, before anyone else walks it.
