Who we are

A small unit.
Outsized impact.

Versus was formed in 2018 in Zurich, Switzerland by operators from national CERT, financial-sector DFIR, offensive intelligence, and protocol engineering backgrounds. We’re deliberately small. We hire only senior. We pick our engagements.

Doctrine

Most cybersecurity firms scale headcount. We scale judgment. The hardest part of this work is knowing what matters in the first ninety minutes.

Principles

How we operate.

Four non-negotiables that shape every engagement.

Senior on the wire

Every engagement is led by a senior operator with field time. No junior shadow-staffing, no offshore overflow.

Speak plainly

Your board, your counsel, and your engineers all need different artifacts — written by humans, not generated.

Privilege first

We work under counsel from minute one. Findings are protected, defensible, and litigation-ready by default.

Leave it stronger

An engagement isn’t closed when the report is signed. It’s closed when your detections, identity, and recovery time are measurably better.

Credentials

Where we’ve served.

A non-exhaustive list of programs, certifications, and prior roles represented across the team.

We hire senior operators only. If you’ve led incidents, written exploits, or shipped audits at scale, we want to hear from you.
