Applied Research

We permanently work on current security topics by systematic and continuous further education in ourtest laboratory. On the one hand we use what we learn from our security assessments, on the other hand we issue technology articles that we publish through our TIGER-INFO mailing list.

Our technology studies are an important component of Compass strategy. We place special emphasis on practical experience rather than limiting ourselves to the study of RFCs and white papers. Our versatile laboratory enables us to carry out extensive tests on many operating systems.
