IoT Security Assessment

Data Sheets

As the deployment of IoT devices continues to accelerate, their impact on critical sectors such as infrastructure, healthcare, automotive, and government operations becomes more profound. These IoT devices — responsible for powering cities, monitoring patient health, managing critical systems, and safeguarding sensitive data — are increasingly targeted by cyberattacks, posing significant risks to national security, public safety, and operational continuity.

 

Consider the energy grid as an example. In 2023, a critical vulnerability (CVE-2023-28489) was discovered in Siemens Remote Terminal Units (RTUs), widely used in industrial control systems. Exploiting this flaw could allow attackers to take complete control of these devices, potentially destabilizing power grids and causing blackouts by altering critical automation parameters
