The rapid adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies has transformed industries, enabling smart devices, sensors, and connected systems to operate across critical environments. At the same time, IoT ecosystems have significantly expanded the attack surface, introducing new and often overlooked security risks. Shavit Group – Security Defense & Cyber provides advanced IoT Penetration Testing services designed to identify, validate, and exploit vulnerabilities across complex IoT environments before they are leveraged by real attackers.
IoT Penetration Testing is a specialized security assessment focused on evaluating the security of connected devices, their firmware, communication protocols, cloud backends, and management interfaces. Unlike traditional IT systems, IoT environments often combine hardware, software, wireless communication, and cloud services, creating unique security challenges that require deep technical and operational expertise.
Intelligence-Driven IoT Testing Methodology
Shavit Group conducts IoT penetration testing in accordance with internationally recognized standards and best practices, including OWASP, NIST, and SANS, while applying an intelligence-led approach developed through years of operational experience. Our experts analyze IoT ecosystems from an attacker’s perspective, identifying how weaknesses in one component can be exploited to compromise the entire system.
Our testing methodology includes device reconnaissance, firmware analysis, hardware interface testing, communication protocol assessment, authentication and authorization testing, and exploitation of backend and cloud integrations. We support Black Box, Gray Box, and White Box testing models, allowing flexibility based on system maturity, risk profile, and business objectives.
Comprehensive IoT Security Coverage
Our IoT penetration testing services cover a wide range of technologies and deployment scenarios, including:
- Embedded Devices and Sensors
- Smart Industrial and Consumer IoT Systems
- Wireless Protocols such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, and LoRa
- Firmware and Bootloader Security
- Cloud-Based IoT Platforms and APIs
- Device Management and Update Mechanisms
We identify common and advanced IoT threats such as hardcoded credentials, insecure firmware, weak encryption, improper authentication, insecure communication channels, exposed management interfaces, and supply chain risks.
Reporting and Risk-Based Remediation
At the conclusion of each IoT penetration testing engagement, Shavit Group delivers a detailed and actionable report. Findings include technical descriptions, proof of exploitation, attack paths, and an evaluation of business and operational impact. Vulnerabilities are prioritized based on risk and potential consequences, enabling informed decision-making and efficient remediation.
We provide clear remediation guidance tailored to IoT environments, including secure firmware development practices, device hardening recommendations, and architectural improvements. Re-testing services are available to validate fixes and ensure long-term security.
