Our Story

We set out to change how security testing is done

River Security was founded to challenge the cybersecurity industry and reinvent penetration testing. We turn testing from a one-off snapshot into continuous, always-on ethical hacking that evolves with the threat.

Meet the teamHow we work

  1. Continuous by design

    Ethical hacking that never stops, adapting as new threats emerge.

  2. Independent and self-owned

    Free from external influence, so our advice stays unbiased.

  3. Built on our own R&D

    Backed by the Research Council of Norway and Innovation Norway.

Why we exist

Our vision was simple but ambitious: make security testing an ongoing process, not a one-time effort. We stay at the forefront of technological advancement and use our own self-developed technology to proactively identify and mitigate risk, finding weaknesses before attackers can use them.

That commitment to exceptional service has earned us a strong reputation for customer satisfaction. We build long-term relationships with organizations who rely on us as their trusted cybersecurity partner to keep their systems continuously secure.
