What is IoT security testing?

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the system of physical objects - devices, vehicles, homes and different things embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity—that empowers these objects to gather and interact data.

IoT Security testing is a process of testing IoT devices to find security vulnerabilities that hackers could exploit to access your network, modify your data, or steal your information.

If IoT devices are not secured, any connected object from smart watches to manufacturing bots, can be hacked. Once hackers gain control, they can use this levarage and steal the user's digital data.

Why is IoT security testing important?

There are multiple reasons of getting security testing done for IoT devices. Some of the most important are listed below.

Future-Proofing Your IoT Ecosystem

Proactively addresses vulnerabilities to prevent cyber threats.

Data Protection

Safeguards sensitive data from breaches and unauthorized access.

Protecting Brand Reputation

Maintains positive brand image and user trust by identifying vulnerabilities.

Regulatory Compliance

Ensures adherence to data protection regulations and standards.

Strategic Advantage

Demonstrates commitment to security, giving a competitive advantage.

VAPT Methodology

How do we perform IoT security testing?

STEP 1Planning & Scoping

Plan the assessment and define the scope. Identify all assets within the defined scope, including applications, workstations, network devices or servers.

STEP 2Reconnaissance

Involves active and passive reconnaissance to gather information about the target system, Identify potential attack vectors and attack scenarios specific to the target.

STEP 3Vulnerability Assessment (VA)

Employ automated scanning tools and manual analysis techniques to identify vulnerabilities in the application/Network. Common scanning tools include Burp suite Professional, Nmap, OpenVAS, Nessus, MobSF, ScoutSuite, etc.

Manual Testing - Conduct manual testing to identify vulnerabilities that automated scanning tools might miss, such as logical flaws and business logic vulnerabilities.

STEP 4Penetration Testing (PT)

Simulate real-world attacks attempting to exploit vulnerabilities found in the vulnerability assessment stage to understand their impacts and potential risks.

STEP 5Reporting & Recommendations

Provide a detailed report outlining identified vulnerabilities, their impacts along with the necessary remediation steps to be taken.

STEP 6Report Walkthrough & Analysis

Report Walk through session with client.

STEP 7Patching

Development/Network teams to address vulnerabilities based on the provided recommendations to improve the web application/Network security posture.

STEP 8Re-Testing

Conduct a VAPT re-assessment to ensure that reported vulnerabilities have been effectively addressed.

STEP 9Final Report

Deliver a final comprehensive report detailing the assessment findings & actions taken.
