Offensive security engineering and vulnerability research for critical infrastructure
CENSUS is a security-focused firm built around deep technical expertise in exploit development, vulnerability discovery, and red-team operations. Their tech stack—IDA, Ghidra, debuggers (lldb, gdb, WinDbg), and languages like C and Python—reflects a pure offensive security posture focused on binary analysis and low-level systems work. The organization is heavily weighted toward security specialists (11 of 14 active roles), with minimal sales infrastructure, signaling a technical consulting model rather than a product play.
CENSUS provides cybersecurity engineering, vulnerability research, and offensive security services to Fortune 500 companies and government organizations in Defense, Automotive, Healthcare, Banking, Maritime, and Telecommunications. The firm operates from Athens and maintains hiring presence in Greece, the UAE, and the UK. Work spans source-code auditing, red-team operations, proof-of-concept exploit development, security compliance preparation, and research into novel attack techniques. The company combines commercial consulting with active vulnerability research and custom tool development.
CENSUS uses IDA, Ghidra, gdb, lldb, and WinDbg for reverse engineering and debugging; C, C++, C#, and Python for development; Metasploit and Cobalt Strike for offensive operations; and supports Windows, Linux, Android, macOS, and iOS platforms.
CENSUS specializes in vulnerability research, source-code auditing, red-team operations, proof-of-concept exploit development, security testing, embedded security, and custom offensive security tool development for critical infrastructure sectors.
