The Evolving Threat Landscape

Why Hardware & IoT Security Matters

As technology becomes more interconnected, hardware-based threats and vulnerabilities in IoT and automotive systems are increasingly targeted by attackers. Weaknesses in embedded systems, wireless protocols, or vehicle control units can lead to data breaches, remote hijacking, and real-world physical harm. Whether it’s a smart home device, industrial controller, or connected vehicle, ensuring robust security from the firmware to the cloud is vital. Our assessments help organizations identify and remediate risks before they are exploited—preserving trust, compliance, and safety.

Benefits of Hardware & IoT Security Testing

With embedded systems powering everything from home automation to critical infrastructure and autonomous vehicles, ensuring their resilience is no longer optional; it’s essential. Our testing delivers deep insight into device-level vulnerabilities that traditional assessments often overlook.

Covering Every Layer of Your Connected Ecosystem

From firmware and chipsets to wireless protocols and over-the-air (OTA) update mechanisms, our comprehensive approach ensures security across the entire stack. We follow standards such as OWASP IoT Top 10 and UNECE WP.29 to align with industry best practices and compliance needs.

End-to-End Ecosystem Risk Visibility
Gain clear visibility into hardware, firmware, communication protocols, and cloud integrations, revealing hidden vulnerabilities that attackers can exploit across the lifecycle of the device.
Protection Against Physical & Remote Threats
Identify weaknesses that can be exploited through physical access (e.g., debug ports) or remote vectors (e.g., wireless, Bluetooth, cellular, CAN bus), and mitigate them before attackers do.
Firmware & Bootloader Hardening
Assess boot integrity, firmware security, and update mechanisms to prevent unauthorised tampering, backdoors, and persistence techniques used by advanced adversaries.
Compliance With Emerging Standards
Ensure your products meet evolving global requirements like UNECE WP.29, ISO/SAE 21434, and NIST IoT cybersecurity standards, accelerating regulatory approval and market access.
Prevent Supply Chain Attacks
Uncover vulnerabilities introduced by third-party components, libraries, or manufacturing processes that could compromise device integrity or user privacy.
Enhanced Customer Trust & Brand Reputation
Demonstrating proactive security measures strengthens user confidence, reduces liability, and protects your brand in a rapidly evolving threat landscape.

Specialised Testing Approaches for Connected Systems

Securing modern IoT and automotive systems requires more than generic penetration testing. Our methodologies are built to uncover risks unique to hardware, embedded software, and connected environments. Each approach is designed to simulate real-world attack scenarios, whether physical, local, or remote.

Physical Interface & Hardware Layer Testing
We analyse exposed debug ports (UART, JTAG), chipsets, and memory to identify paths for firmware extraction, tampering, or data leakage, simulating attacker access through direct hardware manipulation.
Embedded Firmware & Software Reverse Engineering
By disassembling and analysing firmware images, we detect unsafe coding practices, weak crypto implementations, and backdoors, helping you remediate issues before malicious actors find them.
Wireless & Communication Protocol Security
We evaluate Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Zigbee, CAN bus, and cellular interfaces to uncover flaws in authentication, encryption, pairing mechanisms, and message handling, ensuring every connected layer is resilient to local and remote exploits.

What We Test & How We Approach It

Our approach to hardware and embedded systems security combines deep technical expertise with real-world attack simulation. We identify vulnerabilities across connected devices, critical components, and communication protocols to prevent compromise at both the device and ecosystem levels. From IoT to modern vehicles, we help manufacturers, vendors, and integrators achieve resilient-by-design architectures.

We conduct in-depth assessments of smart devices, industrial IoT, and embedded systems by reverse-engineering firmware, analysing PCB designs, and probing hardware interfaces like UART, JTAG, and SPI. Our methodology includes bootloader analysis, secure storage inspection, and hardware fault injection simulations to uncover root-level vulnerabilities and insecure-by-default configurations.

We simulate adversarial attacks against connected vehicles, focusing on in-vehicle networks (CAN, LIN, FlexRay), infotainment systems, telematics units, and wireless entry points. Our team analyzes attack paths across firmware, APIs, ECUs, and external services, providing actionable insights for securing both individual vehicle systems and fleet-wide infrastructure.
