About ERL
Offensive security research for the AI age. We discover vulnerabilities before attackers do.
Our Story
Exploits Research Labs (ERL) was founded with a clear mission: to bring enterprise-grade security thinking to organizations of every size. We believe that effective security shouldn't be exclusive to Fortune 500 companies.
Our team brings deep experience from enterprise security product management, offensive security research, and AI security, offering a combination you won't find at typical VAPT firms. We don't just run scanners and deliver reports. We think like attackers, understand business context, and deliver findings that drive real security improvement.
Our Approach
We combine three elements that set us apart:
Research-first mindset. We actively research new attack techniques, AI vulnerabilities, and emerging threats. Our findings feed directly into our assessment methodology, keeping it current.
Enterprise context. We understand how security decisions are made in real organizations, balancing risk appetite, compliance requirements, and engineering trade-offs. Our reports speak to both technical teams and leadership.
AI security specialization.As AI systems become embedded in every product, new attack surfaces emerge. We're building deep expertise in LLM security, AI agent threats, and the intersection of AI and cybersecurity.
What We've Built
Beyond client engagements, we actively invest in open-source security research and tooling:
Schrute App
LIVEAn interactive, open prompt injection training platform designed for security engineers and red teams to test adversarial LLM manipulation skills.
Launch Schrute App →Security Tools
Purpose-built open utilities for HTTP security header audits, JWT validation, and cloud posture checks.
Research Publications
Technical advisories, attack vector analysis, and vulnerability disclosures across cloud infrastructure and AI models.
Precision
We find what matters. No noise, no false positives, no filler.
Research
Continuously studying new attack techniques and emerging threats.
Partnership
We act as an extension of your security team, not a one-time vendor.
Speed
Fast turnaround without compromising depth or quality.
