IoT & OT Security Testing

Secure your (I)IoT and OT systems thoroughly and effectively.

The (Industrial) IoT & OT Security Testing Services offer you comprehensive security analyses for your connected devices and operating technologies, including industrial control systems (ICS), embedded systems, and wireless technologies such as Bluetooth, NFC, and LoRa-WAN.

Detailed and in-depth analyses provide you with comprehensive insight into the security status of your IoT and OT systems. These insights enable you to proactively address existing vulnerabilities in order to minimize the susceptibility and vulnerability of your systems and data.

Our IoT & OT Security Testing Services

With our services, you can increase the protection of your (I)IoT and OT infrastructures against the ever-increasing threat of cyberattacks. Oneconsult’s experts will analyze your systems in detail, identify potential vulnerabilities and provide tailored solutions.

IoT Penetration Test ​

(I)IoT devices can have a wide variety of functions and forms. However, what they all have in common is that at their core they contain an embedded system (i.e., a computer) and at least one communication module. Both the system architectures (usually ARM or x86) and the interfaces (USB, Bluetooth, WiFi, LoRa, GSM/LTE, debug ports, etc.) can be diverse. Some devices also feature additional controls such as touchscreens. All these interfaces must be tested and secured in order to obtain a secure overall system. IoT device penetration tests intensively test precisely these channels and interfaces. On the one hand, communication with the cloud is examined, and on the other hand, the interfaces are examined for hidden or vulnerable functions that could be used to perform unauthorized actions or, in the worst case, enable complete takeover of the device.

ICS / SCADA / DCS Penetration Test

An ICS, SCADA, or DCS penetration test checks the security of devices in OT networks. It does not matter whether it is a programmable logic controller (PLC), a status display, or an emergency power supply. However, penetration testing of such systems cannot be performed with the same methods or intensity as for “normal” networks, because the historically grown components, which were developed almost exclusively based on simple functionality, often make the systems very susceptible to irregularities caused by, for example, a conventional penetration test, which can lead to the failure of entire systems if handled improperly and without care. Based on our experience and expertise in the security analysis of systems in OT environments, Oneconsult works closely with the customer every step of the way to minimize the risk of business disruption.

IoT Security Assessment​

Coffee machines, ticket machines, and refrigerators are connected to the internet. Even dolls and toothbrushes now use cloud services and can only function fully when connected. In industrial environments, too, more and more machines and devices are being connected (IIoT). This makes it all the more important to check the security of devices that are directly or indirectly connected to the internet.
Oneconsult can provide support at all levels, from reviewing concepts, architectures, and processes to IoT device penetration tests. If fundamental problems are identified at an early stage of development, improvements can be implemented without significant additional effort. It is therefore advisable to subject concepts and architectures to a security review at an early stage. Particularly in the case of fundamental processes such as enrollment, authentication, or updates, security vulnerabilities can only be remedied with considerable effort after implementation. Oneconsult can also check the configuration of devices or your (cloud) infrastructure. When developing firmware, both the development and deployment processes and the actual artifacts such as firmware images and security-relevant areas of the source code can be subjected to a security review. Other components of an IoT solution, such as mobile apps, web applications, or (customer) APIs, should not be forgotten, as they represent the public face of the company and are therefore as prominent as they are vulnerable.

OT Security Assessment

Operational technology (OT) systems often form the backbone of critical infrastructures. Examples include transportation systems, power grids, water treatment plants, surveillance and security systems, building automation, and much more. These systems typically have an extremely long life cycle and, especially in existing facilities, are based on technologies that were developed at a time when security requirements for such devices were not yet an issue. In addition, such systems are increasingly being connected to modern (office) networks in order to drive digitalization forward. This not only makes them vulnerable, but also attractive targets for cyberattacks. Oneconsult can perform the necessary checks on such environments with a comprehensive security assessment. An important aspect of this is always the overall architecture of the environment and the interfaces to IT networks, suppliers, the Internet etc., which can be performed with an architecture and configuration review without any risk to ongoing operations. More in-depth technical testing often involves various bridge and proxy systems used for access between IT and OT, where both the infrastructure and the applications used can be subjected to penetration testing. The process is always closely coordinated with the client to minimize the risk to ongoing operations.
