Nowadays, a large part of our lives takes place in the digital world, whether professionally or privately. We use our smartphones and a variety of apps, which creates more and more data every day. The Queryella team aims to protect our data from misuse by analyzing software for possible security or privacy issues that would allow third parties to intercept our data and use it for unauthorized purposes.

For this reason, we at Queryella are working on a platform that enables in-depth code analysis of mobile apps for security vulnerabilities and privacy breaches, helping to protect users and businesses.

Our Expertise

Code Analysis
Code Analysis

Our team has been involved in many successful research projects in the area of code analysis, such as OPAL or CogniCrypt, and therefore brings extensive expertise in the following areas: static and dynamic code analysis, library detection, metadata analysis, and analysis of masked or hidden code

IT-Security & Privacy
IT-Security & Privacy

We have been successfully using our code analysis skills for several years in various research projects, e.g., ACCEPT or ATHENE (formerly known as CRISP) to develop technologies and tools that detect and expose security or privacy issues in software. The objective is to improve security for the operators and users of software.
