Your device’s last line of defence is its first real test.
Design, implement, ship, deploy and integrate embedded and connected devices with complete confidence.
IoT penetration testing identifies security weaknesses that could lead to unauthorised access, unsafe behaviour, or misuse of connected technologies.
SECFORCE are experts in analysing hardware, firmware, embedded components, and integrations in devices ranging from consumer products to critical infrastructure components. Our team can safely test all types of embedded and connected devices, thoroughly assessing the attacking surface from the physical perspective to the upper logical layers.
28% of business and tech leaders rank attacks on connected products among the top three threats they are least prepared to address. Our expert-led IoT penetration testing service gives you a low-risk way to directly address business-critical IoT risks.
Validate a product against potential attacks before or after launch and scale production, services and sales with confidence.
Test a device and the back-end systems connected to it to prevent new vulnerabilities from entering your IT network.
Uncover weaknesses and prioritise remediation in embedded systems that are often invisible to infrastructure-led assessments.
Gain insights that inform future design and configuration decisions, reducing recurring vulnerabilities and improving the security maturity of your connected products.
Get clear visibility into unknown internal attack paths (such as supply chain) and make IoT risk management a selling point for your organisation.
Any organisation developing or using IoT devices will benefit from IoT penetration testing.
Device manufacturers conduct IoT penetration testing to verify products don’t ship with exploitable vulnerabilities. Organisations that rely on connected devices like routers, control systems, trackers, and edge devices use testing to find and remediate new and old risks in their environments.
Assessing and preventing client fraud in publicly available IoT devices.
Verifying the physical (hardware) and logical (firmware) security of consumer-grade IoT devices before launching them to market.
Identifying potential current and future exploitation risks in networking devices to protect end users.
SECFORCE safely tests IoT devices and integrations with a highly manual, expert-led approach to uncover the issues that real attackers could and do exploit but without disrupting your business. IoT penetration testing is conducted on dedicated test devices provided to our team, rather than on production systems.
Our team is composed of specialists with deep IoT skills, including reverse engineering, knowledge of low-level languages, binary exploitation and familiarity with advanced exploitation techniques (e.g., ROP chaining).
Every SECFORCE test ends with a detailed report that includes all identified vulnerabilities and their potential impact, along with practical remediation guidance, to ensure findings are understood by technical and business stakeholders.
Hardware assessmentAssess a device’s physical security measures and exposed hardware interfaces, such as USB, UART, SPI and I2C, for vulnerabilities that could allow physical attacks. SECFORCE testers probe debugging ports like JTAG to show how the device operates and what potential vulnerabilities exist. Wireless communication modules (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc.) are scrutinised to identify security risks and uncover physical vulnerabilities.
Firmware assessmentTest a device’s firmware, embedded operating system, filesystem, running services and configuration for insecure defaults, exposed services, sensitive information, and other security weaknesses. Assess web-based management interfaces for both traditional and IoT-specific vulnerabilities, and reverse engineer firmware to find potential vulnerabilities (sometimes including zero days).
Back-end service testingFor when devices interact with cloud platforms or back-end services, we can determine whether an attacker could leverage the IoT device to tamper with or compromise integrations.
