Riscure is an independent security test laboratory founded in 2001 with customers in North America, Europe and Asia. Riscure is specialised in evaluating the security of products that are designed to operate securely in a "hostile environment". In other words, an adversary can attack the product by physical as well as software means, often without the risk of being detected. Besides offering security evaluation services, Riscure develops and maintains a security test product for organisations that wish to perform their own side channel testing.

Secure containers in different shapes

Smart cards have been the secure container of choice for the past ten years. Nowadays, important security functions have also moved into products such as tokens, payment terminals, satellite decoders and mobile phones. As with smart card technology, a thorough evaluation from an attacker's perspective has become very relevant for these type of products.

Testing to break

When evaluating a product, our mind is set at testing to break rather than testing to test. Our reports detail the ease and cost of a successful attack, and the resulting security risk profile of the product under test. Read more on our security test techniques.

Link to business drivers

Before testing a product, we spend considerable time with the customer to identify the security requirements of the product and the associated business risk. These drive the selection of attack paths for the product under test. Read more on our testing methodology.
