IOT SECURITY TESTING
IoT security testing from chip to cloud
We test your device, firmware, app and cloud together, the way attackers do.

What is IoT security testing?
IoT security testing is a penetration test of a connected device and everything it talks to. Testers check hardware interfaces, firmware, wireless communication, companion mobile apps, cloud services and APIs for flaws such as hardcoded passwords, insecure updates and weak encryption, mapped to the OWASP IoT Top 10.

One weak device can expose every user.
IoT flaws are hard to fix after launch. We find them while you can still change the design.

What we cover
Hardware
Debug ports such as UART and JTAG.
Firmware
Extraction, secrets and update security.
Wireless
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and other radio links.
Companion app
Android and iOS app testing.
Cloud & APIs
Device back-end and data storage.
