About Corellium
Corellium is the creator of the CORSEC simulator, a virtual machine that runs iOS. This allows the company to run iOS on non-Apple devices and inspect and modify the operating system in various ways. According to Corellium, this helps to make security research and finding vulnerabilities more efficient. The company also offers "virtual devices" for Android and Arm-based devices, designed for security research.
Corellium's technology has been in the news before, with reports suggesting that the FBI used the company's software to crack the phone of the Trump shooter.
