Advancing Cybersecurity Through Innovation
Driven by research and knowledge-sharing, we explore emerging cyber threats and work to protect the Internet community from cybercrime.
Company
Founded in 2021, KOR Labs is a university spin-off dedicated to combating cyber threats and helping the Internet community collectively increase barriers to abuse. Our team of security researchers combines academic rigour with hands-on experience in cybersecurity and Internet technologies, with particular expertise in the Domain Name System.
We leverage our deep understanding of DNS and other core Internet protocols to collect data on and investigate malicious activities, identify cyberattack trends, and share our findings with technical, policy, and research communities to improve the overall security landscape.
Mission
Cybercrime continues to pose a growing threat to organisations and individuals worldwide, with criminals increasingly exploiting fundamental Internet protocols, such as DNS, to carry out attacks. These evolving threats make cybercrime one of the fastest-growing and costly challenges our digital society is facing today.
At KOR Labs, our mission is to share critical insights about DNS abuse and other cyber threats, advancing the collective understanding of attack patterns and building strong collaboration within the security community.
Focus areas
Core activities that help us achieve our mission
Threat Intelligence
We continuously collect and process vast amounts of cyber threat data to identify ongoing and emerging attack trends.
DNS Abuse
We monitor malicious activities that exploit the Domain Name System (DNS), including phishing, spam, malware, and botnets.
Incident reporting
We notify relevant parties about malicious activities to ensure prompt mitigation and, therefore, maintaining the integrity of digital systems.
Cybersecurity economics
We study the social-economic side of cybersecurity to decrease information asymmetry among the stakeholders.
Cybersecurity Research
We apply rigorous academic methodologies to analyze the data we collect, advancing the scientific knowledge in the field.
Community engagement
We publish and present at highly selective venues to share our findings and expertise with the broader Internet community.
Collaborators
We work together to make the Internet a safer place
