When high-consequence systems fail, the damage reaches everyone downstream. We’ve spent years defending systems like these from financially motivated attackers.
Depth
The factors that make a system consequential are rarely visible from the surface. We embed with your team long enough to get a deep understanding of what the system relies on and the decisions that shaped it.
Breadth
The hardest security challenges don’t fit into a single category. We organize around how the system fails, drawing on research, engineering, incident response, physical security, or whichever discipline the engagement demands.
Expertise that travels.
We built our reputation in crypto and financial infrastructure, where adversaries are economically motivated and failure is measured in real money. The same operating discipline applies as AI systems, infrastructure platforms, and high-profile founders become part of the same risk surface.
Finance and Crypto
Our roots are in adversarial financial systems: crypto protocols, market-facing infrastructure, and environments where motivated attackers test assumptions in public.
AI Security
We secure inference pipelines, agent systems, and the boundaries around where and how a model is allowed to use a tool.
Infrastructure That Holds
We operate and review infrastructure with the discipline we learned in systems where downtime, custody, and trust failures have immediate consequences.
Founder Protection
Founders and executives can become a route into the company. We assess digital footprint, routines, and physical security as one connected system.
What it’s like to work with us.
“Asymmetric Research embodies the term 'industry-leading' when it comes to security. They have seamlessly integrated into every facet of the Wormhole protocol, upholding high standards across incident response, research, engineering, and audits.”
Robinson Burkey Chief Commercial Officer, Wormhole Foundation“Asymmetric Research is a top-notch team. They’re extremely seasoned bug hunters, but their holistic view of security covers so much more than just code. We’ve seen the team be invaluable to both Jump and others across the industry over the past few years.”
Simon Johansen Chief Operating Officer, Jump Crypto“Asymmetric Research has been instrumental in building our security program from zero to what it is today. They have an intense hunger to understand our business, diving deep into our operations, technology, and goals to get the full context of what we’re building.”
Lucas Bruder Co-Founder and CEO, Jito Labs“A terrific team of security engineers with a wide variety of skills. They’ve helped support our war room recovery efforts, overall project security management, and even scoping out new security engineers during the hiring process.”
