In an increasingly connected world, insecure IoT systems pose a significant security risk. Security vulnerabilities in smart devices can lead to operational failures, data loss, IP theft or targeted cyberattacks. A professional IoT penetration test uncovers these vulnerabilities at an early stage – even before your networked products reach the market or can be exploited by attackers. Our holistic approach to IoT security includes testing all relevant components of your IoT ecosystem: <\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-3-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”top-bottom” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in-from-bottom” animation_easing=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” delay=”100″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1754455443170{padding-right: 10% !important;}” text_direction=”default”]from hardware and embedded systems over network interfaces and communication protocols up to cloud backends, mobile apps and user applications. We evaluate the effectiveness of your security measures at every level and provide clear recommendations for securing your IoT products – individually tailored to the life cycle, intended use and current hardening level of your system.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][divider line_type=”No Line”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”90px” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” bottom_padding=”5%” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” row_position_desktop=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][split_line_heading line_reveal_by_space_text_effect=”default” font_style=”h3″ text_color=”#123043″ content_alignment=”default” mobile_content_alignment=”inherit” animation_type=”line-reveal-by-space” link_target=”_self” text_content=”Common vulnerabilities in IoT environments” max_width=”520″ text_direction=”default”][\/split_line_heading][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1771920877176{padding-right: 10% !important;}” text_direction=”default”]\n
IoT environments often have typical vulnerabilities that attackers can exploit in a targeted manner. Many of these systems are primarily developed with a focus on connectivity and functionality – the security aspect takes a back seat.
