What We Cover With IoT Penetration Testing
Firmware & Software Security
Test firmware and embedded software for insecure code, hardcoded credentials, outdated components, misconfigurations, and insecure update mechanisms.
Authentication & Access Control
Evaluate device authentication, default credentials, authorization, user permissions, privilege boundaries, and unauthorized access risks.
Wireless & Communication Security
Assess WiFi, Bluetooth/BLE, Zigbee, Z-Wave, MQTT, CoAP, and other supported communication protocols for security weaknesses.
API, Cloud & Backend Security
Test IoT APIs, cloud services, web interfaces, mobile applications, and backend systems for authentication, authorization, data exposure, and configuration issues.
Network Exposure & Attack Path Validation
Evaluate network segmentation, firewall controls, internet exposure, and connected device attack paths to determine how vulnerabilities could impact the wider environment.
