IoT & Hardware Penetration Testing

Conviso’s IoT & Hardware Penetration Testing is designed to assess security vulnerabilities in embedded systems, connected devices, and IoT infrastructure, including interactions with cloud and AWS based APIs. By following industry-recognized frameworks such as PTES, NIST 800-115, and IEC 62443, our specialists identify misconfigurations, firmware security gaps, and potential attack vectors that could lead to data breaches, unauthorized access, or device manipulation.

• Tailored Engagement: We define a testing scope customized for your IoT devices, embedded firmware, and AWS backend services, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation of security risks in both device and cloud interactions.
• Black/White/Gray Box Options: Depending on your security objectives, our testing can be performed with limited, partial, or extensive insight into firmware, hardware schematics, and cloud infrastructure.

Our penetration testing approach covers a wide range of attack surfaces, including:

Device & Embedded System Security Testing

We evaluate security risks at the device level, including:

• Firmware security & reverse engineering resistance
• Secure boot & trusted execution environment (TEE) validation
• Physical access & hardware-level attack vectors
• Debugging interfaces (JTAG, UART, SPI) exploitation
• Memory protection & data leakage analysis

IoT Communication & Network Security Testing

Assessing security across communication protocols, including:

• Insecure MQTT, CoAP, and WebSocket implementations
• BLE, Zigbee, LoRa, and NFC security flaws
• Man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks on IoT protocols
• Weak encryption & authentication in data transmission**

Cloud & API Security Testing

IoT devices often interact with cloud platforms and APIs that require security validation, including:

• Misconfigured IAM permissions & insecure cloud storage (AWS S3 Buckets)
• Authentication bypass & privilege escalation risks
• Weak API security controls (rate limiting, injection vulnerabilities)
• Firmware over-the-air (FOTA) update security testing

• Comprehensive Findings: All identified vulnerabilities receive severity ratings, real-world attack scenarios, and actionable remediation steps.
• Integrated AppSec Management: Findings seamlessly integrate into Conviso Platform, a SaaS solution for Application Security Posture Management (ASPM). The platform consolidates vulnerabilities, risk scoring, and remediation tracking, giving security and engineering teams full visibility into IoT risks.
• Ongoing Collaboration: Through Conviso Platform’s dashboards and collaboration features, security and development teams can review findings, assign remediation tasks, and track progress—all in one place.
• Post-Assessment Support: Our experts remain available to clarify findings, verify applied fixes, and provide guidance on IoT and hardware security best practices.
