Overview

We at Red Balloon Security are working on all new cyber security for the rapidly growing embedded device market.  What we do is incredibly difficult but incredibly rewarding.  What we believe in is all embedded devices will need host-based defenses in order to ward off malware and intrusions.  As part of the work we do, you will be getting your hands into the latest security research, hardware tear down, experiment with offensive and defensive research on a variety of embedded systems. 

 The key markets for us include enterprise equipment, unified communications, SCADA, Internet-of-Things, network infrastructure and more — just to give an idea of the universe of devices we work on.
