The ISE Difference

ISE is a truly independent software security evaluation, education, and system design company dedicated to providing unbiased and scientifically motivated approaches to improve security.

Independent Evaluation

When performing third-party evaluations, ISE is completely independent of any ties to vendors and special interests.

• We provide unbiased reviews and recommendations.
• We strive to ensure the integrity of our projects by avoiding contracts that conflict with an existing customer.

The technical experts at ISE constantly produce independent research featured in various security publications and at industry conferences.

• Our field-tested research and skills are often employed within our customized evaluations for clients.
• The collective experience and extensive knowledge of effective security allows the ISE staff the opportunity to provide expert, custom reports for every evaluation.
• ISE has created and utilizes several custom tools such as software fuzzers, debuggers, and binary analysis tools to identify security vulnerabilities that others might not consider.

Confidentiality

The security evaluation of software, systems, and products is highly sensitive and maintaining confidentiality and privacy is of the utmost importance to ISE.

• Client reports always remain confidential unless the client requests the public dissemination of security evaluation results.
• Precautious measures are implemented with any intellectual property, which is always securely stored and protected.

A Foundation of Academic Methodology

The analysts at ISE are trained professionals with years of real world experience and a shared foundation of computer science theory grounded in academic methodology. We enjoy and are, in fact, encouraged to produce original academic research. We create and utilize the most recent academic techniques and combine this with practical experience.
