Built by people who love to break things.

Xanthus Security is an Ottawa offensive security firm. Our eagerness to learn and our passion for this industry are what make us who we are.

What we do

Web, network, mobile and ICS testing, plus red teaming.

We adapt quickly and work through even the most difficult situations to show you exactly how an attacker would get in, and how to stop them.

Between our team members, we bring substantial experience in both the government and private sectors, with a particular focus on the financial and defence sectors.
