Advanced Security For Advanced Threats
An IoT (Internet of Things) penetration test is a type of security assessment that focuses on evaluating the defences of an IoT device or system. The goal of the test is to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses in the device or system that could be exploited by an attacker, and to provide recommendations for improving the security of the device or system.
During an IoT penetration test, the tester will typically analyse the device or system's code and behaviour to identify vulnerabilities that could allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access to the device or system or to sensitive data stored on the device. This may include testing the device or system's authentication and authorization controls, testing wireless technologies such as Bluetooth or Zigbee, extracting and analysing firmware etc.
The results of an IoT penetration test can help organizations to identify and address security weaknesses in their IoT devices and systems before they are exploited by malicious hackers. It is important to note that an IoT penetration test should be conducted in a controlled environment, and should not be performed on any device or system without the proper authorization.
