A new colour scheme

SensePost has been hacking for 17 years and the time has come for a branding change. The change in logo is related to the acquisition of SensePost 3 years ago by SecureData Europe Ltd. Daily operations at SensePost have been, and continue to be, largely unaffected by the acquisition. The investment has let us do things we otherwise wouldn’t have been able to, such as significantly expanding our training portfolio,…

We’d like to think it’s somewhere in the middle. The Internet has changed lots from when SensePost was first started on the 14th February 2000. Our first year saw the infamous ILOVEYOU worm wreak havoc across the net, and we learned some, lessons on…

Charity Drive – Antarctica Expedition

\ Like many businesses we at SensePost are aware of how fortunate we are and and of the many around us who struggle to make ends meet day to day.
