Hardware / IoT Pentesting

IoT devices are a growing target of our test and assessment services. Hardware, firmware and (cloud dwelling) backends are all targets for attackers and often not very well understood.

Bureau Veritas Cybersecurity can test all these aspects, and also apply reverse engineering and firmware hacking techniques to find out which weaknesses exist. Interesting to note in this context is that Bureau Veritas Cybersecurity is also active partner in the INTERSECT research consortium that includes all Dutch Technical Universities and many multinationals, and is focused on developing new technologies for testing and securing (Industrial) IoT devices.

In general it depends largely on the device what exact steps are taken in an IoT assessment. However if hardware is in scope we will identify interfaces such as serial, SPI, I2C, JTAG and others. We will attempt to identify all components and their weaknesses. For certain components Bureau Veritas Cybersecurity can perform ‘chip-off’ techniques by removing the component from the PCB and placing it in a specific test bed. This is usually done to extract memory contents from the component for later analysis.

If an IoT device has a companion app, we can perform a Mobile app assessment on that part, and if the IoT device has a web interface, we can perform a web application assessment on that. Normally, we require several hardware samples to be delivered, that can be destructively tested (i.e.: do not count on getting them back in 1 piece).

CLOUD Pentesting

Pentest services

A Cloud penetration test (or pentest) assesses the strong and weak points in cloud-based systems to improve the overall cloud security level.

Wi-Fi Pentesting

Pentest services

Wireless technology remains a weak spot in many infrastructures. A Wi-Fi penetration test, or pentest, will reveal wireless weak points, exploit the vulnerabilities and provide clear advice on how to mitigate the risks to an acceptable level.

Infrastructure Pentesting

Pentest services

External, internet visible IT systems are attacked daily. It is therefore often required to test these systems periodically or when significant changes are applied.

Industrial Vulnerability Assessment / Pentest
