IOT SECURITY ASSESSMENTS

A Unique Assessment
Tailored for Your
Unique Platform

Our IoT Security Assessments will identify security weaknesses and provide practical recommendations for the devices that support your customers’ IoT ecosystem.  

Evaluate Your Security
IOT SECURITY ASSESSMENTS OVERVIEW

In-Depth Architectural Review of Your IoT Ecosystem

IoT devices are ubiquitous, but despite their widespread use, IoT risks are typically poorly understood and are often ignored.

Our IoT Security Assessments provide an in-depth architectural review to understand the unique objectives and constraints that dictated your device design, including its supporting infrastructure. With an IoT Vulnerability Assessment, you can mitigate risks, detect and remediate vulnerabilities, boost your defenses to increase confidence with your end-users and customers and prevent breaches from occurring by blocking unwanted access to your or your customer’s ecosystem. Our team will thoroughly:

Examine the Physical Components of Your IOT Device

Review the IoT Device’s Software, Networking and Management Systems

Identify Security Weaknesses and Provide Practical Recommendations

IOT SECURITY ASSESSMENTS: METHODOLOGY

Leveraging All the Necessary Tools

IoT risks are often misunderstood and omitted. Our methodology will help you identify and remediate vulnerabilities in your IoT platform. The most common vulnerabilities that our IoT Security Assessments uncover are weak authentication mechanisms used by your devices, unsecured communication channels between your devices and unpatched software and firmware. Failing to address these vulnerabilities opens your IoT environment up to the risk of data breaches that can access and steal sensitive data that’s stored on your IoT devices. Additionally, our assessment can help you arrive at practical remediations that address your vulnerabilities and better understand the objectives and constraints that your devices’ designs dictate.

IOT SECURITY ASSESSMENTS: CLOUD ENVIRONMENTS

IoT Security for Cloud Environments

Our Threat & Attack Simulation team combines cloud security evaluation information with relevant penetration testing methodologies focusing on exploitable cloud vulnerabilities. This focus will assess:

  • Your cloud environment’s resiliency to attack
  • The coverage of your security monitoring
  • The efficacy of your detection capabilities

Our priority is to give you a thorough, transparent view of the cloud environment that supports your IoT ecosystem. By identifying and exploiting, we can create a detailed picture of your security landscape that allows you to better understand your security posture and areas vulnerable to attack. This will also help you evaluate how effectively your security monitoring can detect malicious attempts to exploit existing weaknesses in your cloud infrastructure.

IOT SECURITY ASSESSMENTS: NETWORK SECURITY

Full Assessment of Your IoT Security Ecosystem

IoT network security is a commonly unaddressed challenge as conventional security systems aren’t enough to recognize and identify IoT devices or the risks that threaten them.

We will assess your IoT ecosystem services and functions to identify insecure protocols, misconfigurations and vulnerabilities that could be used to impact the device’s operations.

And we’ll dig deeper into your custom network protocols to ensure they use industry best practices to secure your business’ and your customers’ data.

IOT SECURITY ASSESSMENTS: PHYSICAL SECURITY

Security That Goes Beyond the Network

Security challenges to the Internet of Things require solutions that look beyond the network. It’s vital to also incorporate physical safeguards for IoT devices and ward off direct access by attackers that could compromise your entire network.

Our team will thoroughly examine and verify the physical security controls of the device, including both digital and traditional locking mechanisms, anti-tamper features, access monitoring and more.

This comprehensive evaluation ensures a robust defense that keeps internal systems shielded from unauthorized access and potential damage.

IOT SECURITY ASSESSMENTS: FIRMWARE SECURITY

Identify Vulnerabilities in Your IoT Firmware

Routers, IP cameras and smart meters need protection too -- as well as any devices you manufacture for your customers. IoT platforms are commonly resource-constrained because there just isn’t the storage, processing or power available for the robust endpoint controls needed.

Our team will perform an IoT platform assessment and review your firmware to identify vulnerabilities and provide actionable remediation recommendations with those constraints in mind.

IOT SECURITY ASSESSMENTS: INFRASTRUCTURE SECURITY

Properly Secure Supporting Infrastructure

Your IoT platform is more than a single device. It’s remotely managed, updated and administered. It requires communication back to your internal systems. This provides malicious actors with direct access to your internal network.

Defending your device’s supporting infrastructure is critically important, along with thoroughly monitoring all supporting actions. Our team will review these actions to ensure they’re properly secured against an attack.
