Be part of change

We are looking for motivated employees with in-depth knowledge of IT security to strengthen our Testlab Mobile Security department. We offer training in the field of secure application development for Apple's iOS operating system. The particular challenge here is the reverse engineering of applications that are already in productive use.

We have two main areas of focus in the field of iOS. The first is systematic vulnerability analysis in the context of industrial projects. The second is the development of automated analyses for the Appicator analysis framework. In both areas, we need support from motivated employees who want to contribute their own ideas and work with us to research new methods.
