IoT Pen Testing

What is IoT Penetration Testing?

IoT Penetration Testing involves assessing the security of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, networks, and ecosystems through simulated cyberattacks to uncover vulnerabilities and weaknesses. It aims to evaluate the resilience of IoT environments against potential threats such as unauthorized access, data breaches, and manipulation of connected devices. IoT Penetration Testing helps organizations in the UK ensure the security and reliability of their IoT deployments, safeguarding sensitive data and protecting against cyber threats.

How does IoT Pen Testing work?

IoT Penetration Testing begins with identifying the scope of the IoT ecosystem to be tested, including IoT devices, networks, and associated infrastructure. Skilled penetration testers simulate various attack scenarios, such as device exploitation, network sniffing, and man-in-the-middle attacks, to assess the security posture of the IoT environment. Detailed reports are generated, outlining discovered vulnerabilities and providing recommendations for remediation to enhance the security and resilience of the IoT ecosystem.
