WhatA platform that lets device manufacturers and app developers test their products against the same forensic extraction tools (like Cellebrite) that law enforcement uses, identifying data leakage before it's exploited.
SignalMultiple commenters wondered whether Apple reverse-engineers Cellebrite's tools and noted the cat-and-mouse dynamic between device security and forensic extraction — there's a clear gap where defenders lack systematic access to offensive forensic capabilities for testing.
Why NowForensic tool capabilities are leaking into the private sector and criminal markets, the Apple/Cellebrite/Mythos dynamics are intensifying, and recent high-profile cases demonstrate that even 'deleted' data persists in unexpected places across OS layers.
MarketDevice OEMs, enterprise MDM providers, secure messaging companies, and defense contractors. ~$1B addressable within mobile security testing. Cellebrite serves offense; nobody systematically serves the defense side with equivalent tooling.
MoatProprietary forensic extraction knowledge base and testing methodology that becomes the de facto standard for 'forensic hardening' certification — similar to how penetration testing firms built moats around offensive security expertise.
