Securing critical IoT deployments with device security testing and breach and attack simulation
Securing critical IoT deployments requires a solution that emulates cyberattacks to protect connected devices and the networks they communicate with. Safety, security, and continuity are paramount for organizations operating large fleets of mission-critical connected devices, such as healthcare and utilities. While device manufacturers are responsible for security fixes, operators need time to take vulnerable devices offline or replace them before they are compromised. Therefore, testing networks and devices against multi-stage attacks — including ransomware infections, lateral movement, phishing attempts, protocol fuzzing, and data exfiltration — is essential.
To harden IoT devices, use a device security test tool to subject them to low-level protocol fuzzing and upper-layer application attacks. Thoroughly test chipsets and network stacks to find flaws in Ethernet, Wi-Fi®, Bluetooth®, Bluetooth® Low Energy, CAN bus, and cellular interfaces. At the same time, network security teams must continuously assess firewalls, endpoint security, and SIEM tools to prevent configuration drift. Use a breach and attack simulation tool to emulate multi-stage network attacks, reveal gaps in coverage, and identify remediations. Otherwise, security tool updates can inadvertently cause blind spots or vulnerabilities.
