IoT Security Testing is a specialized security assessment designed to identify vulnerabilities across the entire Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem—including devices, firmware, communication protocols, cloud platforms, mobile applications, and backend APIs.
This service is intended for enterprises, device manufacturers, industrial organizations, healthcare providers, smart infrastructure operators, and regulated industries that deploy or develop connected devices. IoT Security Testing addresses critical business risks such as device compromise, data leakage, service disruption, regulatory non-compliance, and safety impacts by ensuring that IoT systems are secure by design and resilient against real-world attacks.
Our IoT Security Testing service provides end-to-end coverage of the complete IoT attack surface:
Device Hardware Security Assessment
Physical access testing, debug interfaces (JTAG, UART), secure boot validation
Firmware & Embedded Software Analysis
Static and dynamic firmware analysis, reverse engineering, hardcoded secrets detection
Communication & Protocol Testing
MQTT, CoAP, HTTP/S, BLE, Zigbee, Z-Wave, LoRaWAN, proprietary protocols
Mobile & Web Application Testing
Companion apps, dashboards, authentication flows, and API integrations
Cloud & Backend Infrastructure Testing
