LabsResearch Areas
Our work advances the N49° ecosystem through six core streams of applied R&D, spanning secure platform engineering, validation, and operational readiness.
Secure Platform Engineering
Designing secure-by-default architecture and guardrails for the N49° Cloud stack, including hardening standards and isolation boundaries that scale across services.
Detection, Telemetry, and Response Engineering
Building the logging, detection content, and response automation that power N49° Security, continuously improving time-to-detect and time-to-contain.
Infrastructure Resilience and Performance
Improving reliability and speed across N49° Cloud and N49° Gaming through capacity modeling, failover testing, and performance tuning against real workloads.
Technology Evaluation and Hardening
Evaluating new tools and frameworks through security review and stress testing before production, producing clear go/no-go criteria and hardened deployment baselines.
Canadian Data Protection and Compliance Enablement
Turning Canadian data residency and privacy expectations into enforceable controls, operational practices, and audit-ready evidence across the N49° ecosystem.
Threat and Abuse Research
Tracking vulnerabilities, attacker techniques, and hosting-specific abuse patterns (e.g., phishing, spam, brute force, bot traffic) to inform mitigations and defenses across N49°.
