IoT penetration testing is a security assessment of the complete IoT ecosystem, from backend systems and cloud services to mobile devices and hardware. It involves a multi-stage simulated attack on IoT devices and their supporting system to identify security risks before attackers can exploit them. Unpatched firmware is responsible for 60% of IoT security breaches, […]
