IoT Penetration Testing to Secure Your Connected Devices
Reduce breaches and downtime - manual IoT pentesting that accelerates audits and releases
Why IoT Requires Penetration Testing
Penetration testing validates devices, firmware, APIs, and cloud paths to prevent hardware exploits, firmware backdoors, data leaks, and compliance failures
Hardware exploits
Firmware flaws
API and cloud risks
Enterprise trust
Compliance mandates

“I was impressed at how thorough the test plan was, and how "deep" some of the issues were that their testing uncovered. Also, the onboarding process was simple and painless: they were able to articulate exactly what they needed from us, and showed a clear understanding of the product they would be testing during our initial demo”

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about IoT Penetration Testing
How is IoT penetration testing different from traditional pentesting?
IoT testing examines both hardware and software layers: firmware, wireless protocols, cloud APIs, and mobile apps. It identifies exploitable flaws in devices and ecosystems that conventional network or application tests often miss.
Do you need physical devices or can you test cloud-only IoT?
We prefer at least one production-like device; we also test firmware images, mobile apps, APIs, and cloud. Provide staging environments; we build safe test harnesses to avoid disruption.
Can you test safety-critical devices without risking users or operations?
Yes, most pentests are executed in staging environments, carefully simulated loads, and hardware-in-the-loop rigs. We don’t need access to live patients/users; we coordinate test windows and fail-safe fallbacks before exercising risky paths.
How do you protect sensitive data and credentials during testing?
NDA-backed handling, least-privilege accounts, encrypted evidence storage, and audit trails. Secrets are rotated or scrubbed post-test; artifacts are sanitized for reports and retained per your policy.
What kinds of vulnerabilities does IoT pentesting uncover?
Findings often include insecure firmware updates, exposed debug ports, weak authentication, hardcoded credentials, unencrypted communications, and privilege escalation paths. These issues can compromise entire device fleets, cloud integrations, or customer environments.
