Malleum’s approach to securing IoT and embedded devices involves a comprehensive, multi-layered assessment strategy designed to identify vulnerabilities and enhance device security:
-
Architecture and Network Review
We start by reviewing the architecture of the IoT ecosystem and the network configurations associated with your devices. This includes assessing how devices communicate with each other and with central servers, identifying potential points of vulnerability.
-
Vulnerability Assessment
Using specialized tools and methodologies, we perform thorough vulnerability assessments of the hardware and software components of IoT and embedded devices. This includes static and dynamic analysis of device firmware and associated applications.
-
Physical Security Testing
For devices that might be subject to physical tampering, we conduct tests to evaluate their resilience against such threats. This ensures that physical breaches do not lead to security compromises.
-
Penetration Testing
We simulate real-world attack scenarios to evaluate how well the devices can withstand attempted breaches. This practical test provides insights into the real-world effectiveness of current security measures and highlights areas needing improvement.
-
Security Control Implementation
Based on our findings, we recommend and help implement robust security controls that address identified vulnerabilities. This might include improvements in encryption practices, authentication mechanisms, and firmware update processes.
-
Compliance Verification and Documentation
We ensure all security enhancements meet relevant compliance standards and thoroughly document the assessment process and outcomes. This documentation is vital for regulatory audits and continuous improvement processes.
Our IoT & Embedded Devices Security Assessments provide the expertise and insights needed to protect your devices against emerging threats, helping you maintain a secure and trusted technology environment.
