What Exodus Intelligence does

Exodus Intelligence is a private, Austin-based vulnerability intelligence firm founded in 2012, operating with a 1–10 person team led by President & CEO Logan Brown, CTO Jeremy Kelley, and founders Peter Vreugdenhil and Zef Cekaj. The company discovers and weaponizes zero-day vulnerabilities in commercial software, hardware, and embedded devices — including browsers, enterprise backup solutions, operating systems, and SCADA/ICS targets — using in-house reverse engineering and exploitation tradecraft. Its core deliverable is a subscription-based vulnerability intelligence service distributed through an encrypted web portal called the Vault, alongside custom contract work, public training courses (browser and mobile exploitation), and the 2023-launched EVE Client for Slack integration that embeds research into enterprise workflows.

The Vault offering is split into two tiers: a Zero-Day Subscription providing roughly 50 undisclosed vulnerabilities per cycle with working exploits, mitigation bypass documentation, and Snort/Yara rules (delivered up to two years before public disclosure, with a six-month vendor notification covenant), and an N-Day Vault Subscription providing access to over 1,300 vetted proof-of-concept exploits for publicly disclosed vulnerabilities to support patch prioritization. Each piece of intelligence is empirically validated as exploitable before delivery, and the platform is differentiated by depth of exploitation (real working exploits, not just advisory text) and patch-failure analysis. Distribution is sales-led and direct to enterprise and government customers (Cisco, Kenna Security, Facebook, FBI, and government defense agencies are referenced as customers or users of Exodus-style intelligence), with limited reseller partnerships (e.g., Syndis in Scandinavia) and a public training program at $5,000 per attendee. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed for subscriptions; a perpetual license is granted for deliverables released during the active subscription period, embedding switching costs into the customer relationship.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Zero-Day Subscription Annual subscription product providing enterprise, vendor, and government subscribers with exclusive, undisclosed zero-day vulnerabilities in popular software, accompanied by working exploits, Snort signatures, and YARA rules. Designed for defensive teams, product vendors, and government cyber units that need advance warning of high-impact flaws.
• N-Day Vault Subscription Recurring subscription product providing subscribers with N-day (post-disclosure) vulnerability intelligence curated by Exodus Intelligence's researchers, delivered via the encrypted Vault portal with supporting detection content. Targets the same enterprise, vendor, and government audiences as the Zero-Day Subscription but for known issues still requiring operational context.
• Contract Research Custom, scoped vulnerability research engagements performed for individual customers with specific targets, scopes, or intelligence needs outside the standard subscription products. Priced via quote and sold to organizations requiring tailored research output.
• Browser Vuln-Dev Master Class Paid, hands-on training course teaching participants to find and exploit vulnerabilities in modern web browsers. Targeted at security researchers, penetration testers, and red team members seeking advanced browser exploitation skills.
• Vulnerability Assessment Training Paid instructor-led training course covering practical vulnerability assessment techniques for enterprise environments, aimed at practitioners responsible for evaluating and prioritizing vulnerabilities.
• Mobile Vulnerabilities and Exploitation Training Paid, hands-on training course focused on discovering and exploiting vulnerabilities in mobile platforms (iOS/Android). Designed for security researchers and penetration testers needing mobile specialization.
• EVE Client for Slack Slack application that surfaces Exodus Intelligence vulnerability data and notifications directly inside Slack workspaces, enabling security teams to consume and act on intelligence within their existing collaboration workflows.

Direct peers

• Trail of Bits: Trail of Bits is a security research and consulting firm specializing in advanced vulnerability discovery, binary exploitation, and security tooling. Overlaps with Exodus on the discovery-and-exploitation research capability and the niche of publishing high-quality offensive research.
• Bishop Fox: Bishop Fox is an offensive security firm known for original vulnerability research, exploit development, and red-team services. Comparable in the talent-driven exploit research model and enterprise/government customer base that overlap with Exodus's segment.
• Zerodium: Zerodium is a premium zero-day vulnerability acquisition platform that brokers exclusive exploits to government and intelligence customers. Closely comparable to Exodus on the offensive-research-to-government-buyer axis, though it operates more as a marketplace than a subscription intelligence feed.
• NetSPI: NetSPI provides offensive security services including penetration testing, vulnerability research, and attack surface management to enterprise customers. Comparable in offering expert-led exploit-driven testing and bespoke vulnerability intelligence, though it is heavier on services than subscription intelligence.
• Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative (ZDI): The Zero Day Initiative is the largest and longest-running independent zero-day vulnerability research program, running a vendor-agnostic bug bounty that produces similar vulnerability intelligence for enterprise and government buyers. Most direct competitor to Exodus Intelligence's Zero-Day Subscription model.
• Crowdfense: Crowdfense runs a vulnerability research prize program and zero-day acquisition marketplace primarily serving government and law enforcement buyers in the Middle East and Europe. Highly comparable buyer profile and product (exclusive exploits) to Exodus Intelligence.

Broad incumbents

• NCC Group: NCC Group operates a global security consulting and vulnerability research practice including its own iDefense threat intelligence feed. Comparable as a broader incumbent with an internal vulnerability intelligence subscription and exploit research team serving enterprise and government.
• Mandiant (Google Cloud): Mandiant provides front-line threat intelligence and vulnerability research through its Advantage product, including exclusive zero-day findings and exploited-in-the-wild intelligence. Comparable intelligence subscription offering and enterprise/government customer overlap, but bundled within a much broader incident response and consulting portfolio.
• Recorded Future (Mastercard): Recorded Future operates one of the largest commercial threat intelligence platforms, including vulnerability and exploit intelligence feeds. Comparable in delivering subscription-based intelligence on emerging threats to enterprise and government security teams, though broader in scope than Exodus's exploit-first focus.

Emerging players

• Cure53: Cure53 is a boutique security research firm known for browser, web, and application exploitation work and public advisories. Comparable in producing high-quality exploit research for sophisticated buyers, though smaller in scale and less commercially packaged as a subscription product.
