Quarkslab

In today’s ultra-connected world, securing and protecting data is essential to survival and success.

For the past seven years independent startup Quarkslab has been supporting its blue-chip customers in doing just that, applying what it calls an ‘offensive security’ approach in two main areas. The first is the detection of threats and attacks on information systems and networks. Quarkslab’s on- and offline solutions provide in-depth analysis of the files on a system, in search of suspicious behaviour which would indicate a threat to the customer. Extensive research on a broad range of systems (industrial and information systems, mobile phones, cars) enables the company’s engineers to better understand what potential attacks may target and provide cutting-edge anti-virus technology to combat them.

Quarkslab’s second area of expertise is in the protection of intellectual property (IP). This is done by obfuscation, i.e. transforming simple programme and software code into complex mathematical formulae that are extremely difficult to crack, thus rendering potential attacks prohibitively expensive and time-consuming, and keeping customers’ IP safe.

Quarkslab’s recent integration into the Station F startup campus was followed by a three-month period of brainstorming to see where these two technologies could be deployed, and the launch of several proofs-of-concept to determine whether they meet customers’ needs. They have already been deployed within Thales’s laboratories, and Quarkslab is hoping that VivaTech 2019 will provide the opportunity to convince other companies that their solutions are key to protecting the European information ecosystem.
