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.

How do we perform IoT security testing?

STEP 1Planning & Scoping

Clearly define the boundaries of the assessment, specifying which IoT devices, networks, and applications will be tested.

STEP 2Reconnaissance

Gather essential information about the IoT environment, including device specifications and network architecture, to understand potential vulnerabilities and attack vectors.

STEP 3Threat Modelling

Identify potential attack vectors and threats that could affect the IoT device and prioritize them based on their impact on device functionality and data security.

STEP 4Vulnerability Assessment

Utilize automated tools & manual techniques to scan IoT devices hardware, Firmware & radio connectivity for known vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and weak points that could be exploited by attackers.

STEP 5Penetration Testing

Conduct controlled penetration tests on the IoT device to simulate real-world attacks and exploit identified vulnerabilities to assess the effectiveness of security controls.

STEP 6Reporting & Recommendations

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

STEP 7Remediation

Development teams to address vulnerabilities based on the provided recommendations to improve the IoT device security posture.

STEP 8Re-assessment

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

STEP 9Final Report

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