Embedded Device and IoT Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Test

Secure your products before they ship

For manufacturers, smart embedded devices are becoming a customer requirement, but at the same time customers also want to know these devices are secure. Our embedded device and IoT penetration testing services help manufacturers identify and address security vulnerabilities in embedded and connected products before they reach the market. We rigorously assess the hardware, firmware, and communication protocols of your devices to ensure robust security and to protect your customers’ data and privacy.

Our team has expertise in testing a wide range of connected devices and IoT products, including building automation systems like HVAC controls, access control systems, energy management systems, and security cameras. We also test industrial IoT sensors and control systems, connected vehicles and their components, medical devices, consumer electronics, security appliances, wearable technology and more. Our thorough evaluation will help you deliver secure, reliable solutions that build trust with your customers and protect your brand reputation.

Tangible Benefits

Enhance product security by identifying and addressing vulnerabilities before release
Gain competitive advantage by building customer trust through robust security measures
Protect your brand reputation by preventing product-related security incidents that could damage public trust

Overall System and Hardware Review

We start with a review of the overall system, design goals, and security requirements, followed by a device disassembly. We then examine the hardware security, including physical interfaces such as JTAG, debug ports, secure boot processes, chip-level security, and more.

Firmware Extraction and Analysis

We subject device firmware to a rigorous evaluation, including attempting to deconstruct, modify, and upload firmware. If we extract the firmware from the target device, we can reverse engineer its code and search for vulnerabilities.

Network and Communications Security Assessment

Our team conducts a full network security assessment, including testing for all interfaces capable of communications, scans to identify running services, packet capture and analysis, port scans, remote commands, and more.

Data Storage and Access Security Review

We carefully analyze the data used on connected devices, including data storage areas, how data is retained, the level of permissions granted, access restrictions, and encryption used. We also investigate which methods can access and egress data from the device.

Reverse Engineering Approach

If requested, we conduct a reverse engineering security assessment that starts with the external interfaces and progressively delves into the inner workings of the system. Our probing and attack strategies encompass a range of techniques, including permutation keyboard inputs, USB injection, protocol capture, and thorough examination of hardware components. Additionally, we conduct in-depth research on devices, utilizing both available information and acquired knowledge of the equipment.
