Performs comprehensive security assessments of IoT devices and their ecosystems by testing hardware interfaces, firmware, network communications, cloud APIs, and companion mobile applications. The tester uses firmware extraction and analysis, hardware debugging via UART and JTAG, network protocol analysis, and runtime exploitation to identify vulnerabilities across all layers of the IoT stack. Activates for requests involving IoT security testing, embedded device assessment, firmware security analysis, or smart device penetration testing.

# Performing IoT Security Assessment

## When to Use

- Evaluating the security of IoT devices before deployment in enterprise or critical infrastructure environments
- Assessing consumer IoT products for security vulnerabilities as part of product security review or certification
- Testing industrial IoT (IIoT) devices for vulnerabilities that could affect operational technology environments
- Analyzing firmware for backdoors, hardcoded credentials, and known vulnerabilities in embedded components
- Evaluating the security of the complete IoT ecosystem including device, cloud backend, and mobile companion app

**Do not use** against IoT devices without written authorization, for modifying firmware on devices you do not own, or against medical devices or safety-critical systems without specific medical device testing authorization and safety protocols.

## Prerequisites

- Physical access to the target IoT device(s) for hardware analysis and testing
