At NCC Group, we take immense pride in our enduring legacy of conducting independent, world-leading security research that spans all technologies and industries. 

Our research spans a comprehensive range of security areas, leading to the production of technical advisories, whitepapers, open-source tools, and knowledge-sharing presentations showcased globally at cybersecurity and industry-specific conferences. 

In 2024, our research covered a diverse array of fields including hardware and embedded systems security, applied cryptography, vulnerability research and exploitation techniques, network and system security, malware and digital forensics, software development, AI, telecommunications and beyond. 

This week, we are excited to release our 2024 Annual Research Report, which summarises the findings of our security research from over 120 advisories, blog posts, and tool releases published by our researchers between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024. 

We have compiled our findings and their broader implications, complete with links to the corresponding research papers, recorded conference presentations, publicly reported security audits, technical advisories, and open-source tools, as well as select media coverage of our research. 

Our research drives innovation and addresses the challenges posed by evolving cyber threats. From advanced cryptographic solutions to AI-driven security methodologies, we are committed to providing practical tools, actionable insights, and robust defences for industries worldwide. Through our collaboration with academia, open-source contributions, and global conference engagements, we strive to enhance security resilience and set new standards in cyber security excellence.
