About Us

Back in January 2001, the Institute for Security and Open Methodologies (ISECOM) began with the free publication of the the Open Source Security Testing Methodology Manual (OSSTMM). It was a move to vastly improve how security was tested, analyzed, and implemented. Many researchers from various fields contributed their experiences and knowlege because they saw the need for such an open method, one that was bound towards fact and not commercial gain or political agendas. Since then this has been how we have approached all of our research projects. Furthermore it's not enough to just find the facts, we find the ways to apply it to the world we live in. So it needs to make sense. And that's what ISECOM does every day for millions of people around the world. From governments to businesses to schools to just regular people, we help to make sense of security.

ISECOM is an open, security research community co-founded in New York and Barcelona. Financing for ISECOM is provided through partnerships, subscriptions, certifications, licensing, seminars, and research endowments. Become a part of a foundation for security research.
