The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to all the connected devices in your business, from industrial sensors monitoring operations to smart equipment like electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. These devices often work quietly in the background but are critical to your daily operations. Many organizations don’t realize they have IoT devices or the unique security risks they bring.
IoT devices often suffer from weak passwords, outdated software, and unsecured communication channels, making them easy targets for attackers. For example, if an EV charger is insecure, attackers could disrupt charging services, manipulate billing, or even charge vehicles for free, leading to direct financial losses. Compromised IoT devices can also become entry points into your broader network, risking data breaches or operational failure.
Our IoT and Embedded Device Penetration Testing service uncovers vulnerabilities across hardware, firmware, network protocols, and cloud integrations to help you secure your entire IoT ecosystem before attackers exploit these gaps.

Exploitation Simulation
Define objectives, in-scope assets, exclusions, testing mode (blackbox or greybox), credentials, test windows, and approvals.
Map hardware components, firmware, interfaces, protocols, mobile apps, and cloud services to understand the attack surface.
Combine automated firmware analysis with manual testing of authentication, encryption, APIs, and trust boundaries across device, application, and cloud layers.
Safely validate vulnerabilities with proof-of-concepts demonstrating device compromise, data extraction, or network access without disrupting production systems.
Produce a comprehensive report including executive summary, scope, methodology, prioritized findings with PoCs, business impact, risk ratings, and actionable remediation, and present results during a restitution meeting.
Ensure all identified vulnerabilities have been properly fixed without introducing new risks.
Connected devices expand your attack surface, creating more opportunities for vulnerabilities that can cause operational disruptions, data breaches, or even physical malfunctions. These issues are especially critical in EV charging infrastructure, where exploitation could affect public charging or enable unauthorized free charging.
Typically between 5 and 10 business days, depending on device variety, complexity, and integration scope.
All tests are safe and non-destructive. When testing in production, activities are coordinated to minimize impact. Any potentially disruptive actions are performed only after agreement.
