Service Overview
Hardware and IoT Security Assessment service analyzes the security of connected physical devices—industrial sensors, IP cameras, routers, PLCs, medical devices, embedded systems—identifying vulnerabilities in firmware, physical interfaces, communication protocols and management APIs. With billions of connected IoT devices and an average of 5.2 vulnerabilities per device detected by leading security vendors, IoT is one of the most underrated compromise vectors by organizations.
Compromise Hardware and IoT
Areas of Assessment
The analysis covers four distinct levels. Firmware level: Extraction, decompilation and static firmware analysis to identify hard-coded credentials, embedded encryption keys, backdoor, undocumented services and weaknesses in the update process (OTA security). Physical interfaces: analysis of UART, JTAG, SPI, I2C interfaces for unauthorized access, open debug ports, possibility of memory dumping and modification of boot process. Communications: network traffic analysis (Zigbee, Z-Wave, BLE, WiFi, LoRaWAN, MQTT, CoAP), end-to-end encryption verification, message authentication and man-in-the-middle and replay resistance. At application level: security of management APIs and embedded web interfaces, authentication, authorization and secure firmware update.
Deliverable
Technical reporting with finding for each analysis level, CVSS severity, practical demonstration of exploitable vulnerabilities and remediation roadmap structured by priority. The service is particularly critical for organizations in manufacturing, healthcare, energy and smart building sectors, where the compromise of an IoT device can affect both computer security and physical safety.
