About NopSec
-
NOPNop is short for NOP Slide, a long line of NULL operator codes used in hacking. We were founded by white hat hackers aiming to help companies improve their cybersecurity from attacks.
-
SECSec is the opposite defensive mechanism against cyber threats and data breaches. Combined we apply both offensive and defensive philosophy to our solution, because the best defender thinks like a hacker.
