Hands-On
We work directly with hardware, firmware and vehicle interfaces.
About
Security research at the vehicle’s core
Shviro Lab is an automotive cybersecurity research lab. We work on the systems beneath the surface — ECU hardware and firmware, diagnostics, in-vehicle networks and vehicle gateways.

Tom Shviro is a cybersecurity researcher focused on finding and understanding vulnerabilities in complex embedded and automotive systems.
His work spans the entire security stack — from hardware and boot processes to firmware, diagnostic protocols and vehicle communication networks.
With extensive hands-on experience in reverse engineering and vulnerability research, Tom investigates how real systems work, identifies weaknesses in their security boundaries and analyzes how those weaknesses can impact the larger system.
His research has contributed to the discovery and responsible disclosure of security vulnerabilities, including CVEs in automotive and embedded technologies. He has also collaborated with international and government-related organizations on cybersecurity research and complex security assessments.
At Shviro Lab, Tom brings this research-driven approach to automotive cybersecurity — combining low-level technical expertise, vulnerability research and practical security testing to help organizations build more resilient vehicle systems.

Modern vehicles are increasingly software-defined, connected and exposed to complex attack surfaces. Shviro Lab focuses on the systems beneath the surface — from ECU hardware and firmware to diagnostics, network protocols and vehicle gateways.
Our approach combines low-level reverse engineering, embedded security research and automotive protocol analysis to identify weaknesses before they become real-world risks.
The Lab
Inside the Shviro Lab
Hardware-level automotive security research requires hands-on access to the systems being assessed. Shviro Lab combines embedded platforms, automotive interfaces, debugging tools and laboratory equipment to analyze systems at the hardware, firmware and protocol levels.
Why Shviro Lab
Why Shviro Lab
Low-Level Expertise
Security analysis down to embedded systems and protocol behavior.
Research Driven
We investigate how systems actually work — not just how they are documented.
Automotive Focus
Our work is centered on vehicle systems and their evolving attack surfaces.
Security Engineering
From Research to Security Engineering
Research findings matter when engineering teams can act on them. We work alongside development programmes to turn analysis into design and remediation decisions.
Threat Analysis & Risk Assessment
Automotive cybersecurity risk identification and security analysis.
Architecture Security
Security analysis across ECUs, gateways and vehicle communication architectures.
Security Testing
Hands-on assessment of hardware, firmware, diagnostics and networks.
Security Recommendations
Actionable remediation guidance for engineering teams.
Frameworks
- ISO/SAE 21434
- UNECE R155
- UNECE R156
