CYBER SECURITY AUDIT SERVICE

Internet of Things
(IoT) audit

The goal is discover any vulnerability that may provoke an unathorized access so developer may fix the problem and make the web application secure

BOOK A IOT SECURITY AUDIT
ENSURE PROTECTION FROM IoT

Internet of Things IoT security audit services

Internet of Things devices are everywhere and it is estimated number of IoT sensors and devices is set to exceed 50 billion by 2022. IoT security risks are less well known and usually omitted

Our approach to IoT security

Security on IoT devices is usually dismissed, generating vulnerabilities that can be exploited very easily by cyber criminals. Meanwhile OWASP methodology could be used partially, every IoT device is completely different from the other one and have its own ecosystem.

There is a great lack of awareness of manufacturers about the vulnerabilities that may exist in an IoT ecosystem and the complexity of the security level that this ecosystem supposes. Another reasons could be the scarsity of cyber security experts in this type of devices.

One of the great challenges of the IoT security is the number of endpoints connected in a network. Each endpoint may offer a point of entry to cyber criminals, when the attack surface expands to all the connected devices the rist for the organizaction could be significant.

Risks of not securing IoT

Sales loss or even business shut down

Judgments, legal costs and regulatory penalties

Damages for reputation loss

Problems accepting payment cards

Economic losses by fraud

HELPING YOU TO SAFEGUARD


Why do you need to audit your IoT?

The number of IoT devices in our lifes is experiencing a huge growth, and the degree of security needs to be audited and enhanced to avoid data breaches about sensitive information of their users. IoT try to make our lifes easier and better, smart homes are the future and every day devices are more connected.

At Puffin Security we have a team of experts of IoT security specialists, that may review your firmware and device and detect any vunerability that could be exploited by a cyber criminal. We will analyze in depth your IoT solution to detect any vulnerability that could generate a data breach for stealing or accessing to sensitive data.

Goals of periodical IoT audit

Security is an core issue of every IoT deployment, but many times it is still neglected in the development of system. Auditing IoT mean analyze the following.

Detect vunerabilities in hardware of embeded devices

Analize the firmware of the IoT device

Evaluate the security of the Software and Apps

Benefits of IoT auditing

With a IoT security audit we can find vulnerabilities in Internet of Things devices before attackers exploit them, reducing the risk of exploits

Early Stage Detection

Mitigate risks by detecting and remediating security vulnerabilities and configure it to the maximum security level of your IoT devices.

Boost security

Increase end user confidence and company reputation by boosting your defences and meeting the highest security standards.

Reveal vulnerabilities

Illuminate breaches that could be exploited by an attacker for gaining access to your environment and system, and reduce risks of compliance penalties

Cyber criminals

main 3 strategies

Protecting your company interests is very easy if you take awareness of the challenge of website security. Auditing periodically your websites and web applications can higly mitigate risks.

Access to sensitive data

IoT devices very often record and stream sensitive data. Security systems (cameras, doors), printers and any king of device with Wi-Fi is usually integrated in the business networks, this may be easily exploited by cyber criminals.

Sabotage

Once a cyber criminal access to a IoT device there are multiple actions he may execute, from stopping the activity to generate physical damage. They even may demand a payment to stop the sabotage.

Botnets

Cyber attackers can use botnets that they use for DDoS attacks (Distributed Denial of Service) to disrupt normal traffic of a targeted server or network. They can use any endpoint like computers or IoT devices.

IoT audit methodology

The Internet of Things (IoT) can increase efficiency but it brings great risks. When performing a IoT audit we start with OWASP methodology, but IoT involves a complex ecosystem that may be analized depending on the the characteristics of the device, and the related parts: hardware, firmware and software and apps.

We also apply traditional techniques used in pentesting like reverse engineering (reversing) for the binaries usually developed for MIPS or ARM architectures and mobile applications that can reveal a myriad of vulnerabilities. Once all he information is analized our staff will prepare the final report with reliable and concrete information.

FINAL REPORT

Documentation Deliverables

Once all of this is complete you will receive a final report with a detailed information about all the tests and results discovered in the Internet of Things security audit. In this document you will find all the knowledge you need to implement in order to mitigate weakness found. You will find all the vulnerabilities found analysed in depth (description, impact, risk level, evidences…) and all the actions we have executed in the process.
