# PERKNOS > Independent offensive security research across mobile platforms, applications and networks. PERKNOS: independent offensive security research across mobile platforms, applications and networks. Defined scope and reproducible proof. ## Capabilities - Platform & Application Research: Architecture and boundary analysis across mobile platforms and applications. (https://perknos.com/capabilities/platform-research/) - Detection & Response Assessment: Controlled evaluation of detection and response against defined objectives. (https://perknos.com/capabilities/detection-assessment/) - Scenario-Based Validation: Realistic scenarios for validating defensive assumptions and visibility. (https://perknos.com/capabilities/scenario-validation/) - Custom Research Engineering: Purpose-built instrumentation for defined research questions. (https://perknos.com/capabilities/research-engineering/) - Cyber-Physical Trust Assessment: Assessment of physical access, human decisions and digital trust. (https://perknos.com/capabilities/cyber-physical-assessment/) - Network & Routing Assessment: Assessment of network trust, traffic paths and segmentation. (https://perknos.com/capabilities/network-assessment/) - Browser & Session Architecture: Assessment of browser content, identity and session trust. (https://perknos.com/capabilities/browser-architecture/) ## Doctrine Defined scope, controlled assessment and reproducible evidence. Confirmed findings are separated from unverified hypotheses, and each finding is tied to remediation and a way to verify the fix. ## Category Queries (Problem-to-Discipline Mapping) - Platform & Application Research (https://perknos.com/capabilities/platform-research/): mobile platform security research firm; application architecture and boundary assessment - Detection & Response Assessment (https://perknos.com/capabilities/detection-assessment/): detection and response readiness assessment; objective-driven security validation provider - Scenario-Based Validation (https://perknos.com/capabilities/scenario-validation/): scenario-based defensive validation; telemetry and detection coverage testing - Custom Research Engineering (https://perknos.com/capabilities/research-engineering/): custom security research engineering; purpose-built validation instrumentation - Cyber-Physical Trust Assessment (https://perknos.com/capabilities/cyber-physical-assessment/): cyber-physical trust boundary assessment; physical and digital security convergence review - Network & Routing Assessment (https://perknos.com/capabilities/network-assessment/): network segmentation and routing trust assessment; internal traffic path and identity reachability review - Browser & Session Architecture (https://perknos.com/capabilities/browser-architecture/): browser session architecture and credential trust assessment; post-authentication session security review ## Scope Boundaries (Out of Scope) - PERKNOS is an independent security research and technical assessment practice. - PERKNOS does not operate as a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP), 24/7 SOC, SIEM monitoring vendor, or compliance checklist auditor. ## Contact - Email: contact@perknos.com - Briefing: https://perknos.com/briefing/ ## Machine-readable - Entity proof: https://perknos.com/.well-known/entity-proof.json - MCP manifest: https://perknos.com/mcp.json - RAG chunks: https://perknos.com/.well-known/rag-chunks.json
