IoT
Penetration Testing
IoT adoption continues to grow, as does the sophistication of the technology. From intelligent workplaces and factories. Sensors, data collectors, and various embedded devices used to read, collect, and share data appear to be limitless within a network. However, with the opportunity to improve communication, productivity, and service delivery comes the possibility of exploiting it and using it for malicious purposes. This is why it is more critical than ever to secure your IoT network. Our penetration testers employ cutting-edge tools and techniques to conduct a comprehensive assessment of your entire IoT network and the threats it faces.

Strategy
White-box
​During a white-box pen test, our tester is provided with all the information about the system that is being tested. These are typically network diagrams and credentials. This type of pen testing strategy helps reveal vulnerabilities more quickly and provides better test coverage since we know exactly what we're testing.
Gray-box
During a gray-box pen test, our tester is provided with limited information about the system that is being tested. This is typically user-level credentials. This strategy emulates an attacker located within the network perimeter. The intent is to validate vulnerabilities an attacker may exploit using a compromised user account.
Black-box
During a black-box pen test, our tester has very limited knowledge of the infrastructure. A good amount of effort is spent during recon. The network and attack surface are all manually mapped. This strategy emulates a real hacker and their ability to compromise a target starting with limited knowledge.
Our Methodology
Our Process
Our penetration testing engagement broken down to three main steps.
Prepare
Here we plan and define the extent of our test, what will be tested, where the testing will take place, and who will conduct it.
Perform
Here we perform information gathering, port scanning, enumeration, vulnerability scanning, and attempt exploitation.
Provide
Here we provide a report of our findings, a list of vulnerabilities, categorize the risk as high, medium or low, and recommend repair.
Benefits of
Penetration Testing
Validation
Validate vulnerabilities and possibility of actual exploitation
Compliance
Achieve compliance with regulations and industry standards (ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, NIST 800-53)
Effectiveness
Ensures effectiveness of security controls and defense systems
Identify
Identify vulnerabilities, prioritize cybersecurity risk and take appropriate action
Reveal Risk
Reveal actual risks. Determine feasibility of attack vectors and business impact of successful attack
Demonstrate
Demonstrate commitment to security and maintain trust with stakeholders
Assurance
Assures the organization that it is operating within the acceptable limit of cybersecurity risks
Prioritize
Prioritize efforts on high-severity vulnerabilities and delegate specific type of vulnerabilities to appropriate department.
