Security for the softwareeverything runs on.

Security built in,not bolted on.

Infrastructure is software now. Private 5G networks, industrial control systems, digital products and cloud platforms are assembled from the code and components of many vendors, and every interface between them is an attack surface that off-the-shelf tools were never designed to cover.

CipherCell is a security engineering company built by specialists in networks and software. We take on the hard problems, whatever the vertical, and solve them with security at the core of every decision.

About CipherCell
An empty monitoring room seen through glass, walls of screens and indicator lights blurred behind the panes.

Three pillars.One team.

We analyse, we build, we research.Three disciplines, one expert team, working hand in hand.

The CipherCell methodA triangle of three pillars, each joined to the other two: security, engineering and research. Each pillar carries its own instruments: threat modelling, automated threat analysis and security testing; secure architecture, FPGA and hardware design, and embedded and systems development; Open RAN and 6G security, hardware roots of trust, and vehicle and IoT security. Research feeds back into security.Threat modellingAutomated threat analysisSecurity testingSecuritySecure architectureFPGA and hardware designEmbedded and systems developmentEngineeringOpen RAN and 6G securityHardware roots of trustVehicle and IoT securityResearchThe CipherCell methodA triangle of three pillars, each joined to the other two: security, engineering and research.

Who we work with.

Software-defined networks with open interfaces and a multi-vendor supply chain. Our origin, and still the hardest case.

A private 5G antenna and radio cabinet on the parapet of a factory roof, cranes in the distance.

Control and network software where a breach stops production, damages equipment or endangers people.

An electrical substation seen straight from above: transformers, switchgear and a service road.

Controllers, SCADA and the engineering software that configures them. Systems built to run for decades, often on protocols without authentication, and rarely patched.

Three operators in hard hats at their consoles in a plant control room, facing a wall-sized diagram of the process.

Devices, firmware and installable software sold in the EU. Under the Cyber Resilience Act, the manufacturer answers for their security for the whole support period.

An assembly line in an electronics factory, device boards in a carrier on the conveyor and a worker at the line behind.

Containers, service meshes and CI/CD pipelines that carry infrastructure workloads. Security that runs as code, alongside yours.

A cold aisle between server racks in a data centre, a technician far in the distance.
