Overview

What Is Hardware & IoT Security Testing?

Hardware and IoT security testing assesses the security of embedded systems, firmware, communication protocols, and physical interfaces of connected devices and IoT systems. From industrial controllers and medical devices to smart building systems and consumer electronics, we identify vulnerabilities that could allow attackers to extract sensitive data, manipulate device behavior, or use compromised devices as entry points into your network.

Why Do You Need It?

IoT devices are among the fastest-growing cybersecurity attack vectors in modern networks. Many embedded systems ship with default credentials, unencrypted communications, outdated firmware, and debug interfaces left exposed. Unlike traditional IT systems, IoT devices are often deployed in physically accessible locations with minimal monitoring, making them attractive targets for both remote and physical attacks.

UART, JTAG, SPI & I2C debug interface exploitation attacks
Bluetooth, Zigbee, Z-Wave & LoRaWAN protocol security
MQTT, CoAP & custom API communication security testing
Default credentials & hardcoded secrets in firmware
OTA (Over-the-Air) update mechanism security
Physical tamper resistance testing & side-channel analysis
Cloud backend and device-to-cloud communication security
Methodology

Our Methodology

Hardware and IoT testing covers the entire device: the electronics inside, the firmware running on it, the wireless and wired links it uses, and the cloud services it talks to. We combine lab-bench analysis with traditional network and application security testing to cover every path an attacker could take.

Reconnaissance & Device Profiling

The device is physically opened, its chips and processors are identified, their datasheets are collected, and every path data flows through (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB, cellular, cloud) is mapped. The result is a complete picture of the attack surface before any testing begins.

Testing Lifecycle

Every hardware engagement follows a standardized security testing lifecycle — profiling the device and its chips, opening it up to reach the firmware, reversing the firmware, testing the wireless and cloud paths, safely demonstrating the impact, and finally a free retest once fixes are shipped.
