Trapezoid

Trapezoid is a cybersecurity company founded in 2012 that focuses on firmware and device integrity monitoring. The company develops and markets a software platform called Trapezoid FIVE, which provides visibility into the hardware and firmware layer — the area below the operating system (OS) — to detect indicators of compromise in enterprise environments. The core problem Trapezoid addresses is the lack of security visibility below the OS, an attack surface referred to as "vulnerabilities below the operating system" (VBOS). Traditional security tools typically operate at or above the OS level, leaving the firmware and hardware layer exposed to exploitation by threat actors, including nation-state actors. Trapezoid FIVE supports monitoring across multiple device types, including IT, OT, and IoT assets. The platform uses a flexible data schema to ingest and analyze data from various device classes, models device behavior, and identifies indicators of compromise. Results are surfaced through operational dashboards and reports. Key capabilities and features include: - Firmware integrity monitoring and management - Device integrity monitoring across IT, OT, and IoT environments - Vulnerability research integration - Patented Trapezoid Marker technology for supply chain integrity - Forensics tooling for VBOS investigation - Support for incident response and compliance requirements The platform targets government agencies, critical infrastructure operators, industrial organizations, and commercial enterprises. Trapezoid also maintains a channel partner network of resellers.
