Certified penetration testers assess the networks and access points of a client to create a comprehensive security audit report

Our IoT Pentest offer

IoT penetration testing identifies potential security vulnerabilities within the ecosystem of a connected device.

 

An IoT Pentest differs from a "traditional" pentest due to the significant number of technologies covering this scope.

 

This type of test will therefore cover all or part of a perimeter, ranging from the hardware and software layers to communication protocols, including more common phases such as web and mobile interface testing.

Penetration testing for IoT

The different approaches:
Software / Firmware testing

During an application penetration testing, our auditors assess the robustness of your web applications, thick clients, APIs, as well as your potential infrastructures or any other components of your applications, using an offensive approach.
In the context of IoT Pentesting, the focus is placed on the software embedded in the device (retrieval of firmware, secret searching, firmware injection, etc.).

 

Hardware testing

Here, our auditors concentrate on the electronic components of the connected device, such as integrated circuits, input and output ports, connectors, etc.

The goal is to identify components and physical vulnerabilities that could be exploited by an attacker to access the connected device or compromise its security (memory dumping, debugging, etc.).

 

Communication protocol testing

Testing communication protocols of a connected device involves evaluating the security of the communication channels used by the connected device to interact with other systems (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, NFC, etc.).

These tests allow auditors, among other things, to simulate attacks such as reverse engineering custom protocols, eavesdropping to retrieve sensitive data, etc.
