ASECCanadian offensive security. Cloud, applications, APIs, identity, AI, and the embedded and autonomous systems most firms will not touch — same operators, one engagement, one report your engineers can reproduce on Monday.
Who we are //
Software, hardware, and radio under one roof and on Canadian soil, serving North America since 2015. When the thing being tested is critical infrastructure or a defence platform, where the testing happens is part of the requirement.
Founded by Nick Aleks — Chief Hacking Officer, co-author of Black Hat GraphQL (2023) and Black Hat Bash (2024), and founder of DC416, the Toronto DEFCON group that turns ten in 2026 and runs 2,880 members deep. Operators run the engagements, not account managers. We disclose responsibly and publish what gets fixed.
The open-source end of that is Damn Vulnerable Drone — a full simulated aircraft, ground station, and radio link built so people can learn to attack UAS without touching anything real. It is the most direct answer we have to what we actually do all day.
The ask //
Tell us what you're building and what you're worried about. You'll hear from an operator — not a sales team — within one business day.
