What is IoT Device Penetration Testing?
IoT penetration testing involves a comprehensive analysis that simulates real-world cyberattacks on IoT devices and networks. This methodical process uncovers vulnerabilities, allowing businesses and individuals to proactively address potential security risks. VOX provides a thorough assessment of the entire IoT ecosystem—covering hardware, firmware, networks, mobile apps, and cloud APIs—ensuring a robust defense against cyber threats in Dubai.
As IoT devices continue to outnumber the global population, securing these devices is critical, especially in Dubai, where technology adoption is rapidly expanding. Unprotected IoT systems can serve as entry points for hackers, compromising sensitive data and safety-critical operations. VOX provides top-tier security solutions to safeguard IoT infrastructures.
Top IoT Device Threats According to OWASP
The OWASP Top 10 list highlights key security risks for IoT devices, and these should be a priority during any penetration test
Ensure passwords are strong and secure to prevent easy exploitation.
Identify vulnerabilities such as inadequate encryption and susceptibility to MITM attacks.
Vulnerabilities in APIs, web interfaces, and other system interfaces must be uncovered.
Assess the security of the IoT update process, ensuring updates are signed and verified.
Detect outdated operating systems or libraries that pose risks.
Verify that IoT devices properly secure personal data.
Ensure data is transferred and stored securely to prevent unauthorized access.
Check for devices lacking proper management capabilities, including access control.
Identify risky default configurations, like default passwords or open network services.
Evaluate the physical security of IoT devices, focusing on tamper resistance and environmental protection.
