New Cybersecurity Service Will Examine the Physical Components,
Firmware, Networking and Management Systems of an Organization’s
IoT Device
GuidePoint Security, a cybersecurity solutions leader enabling
organizations to make smarter decisions and minimize risk, today
announced the availability of its IoT Security Assessment.
GuidePoint Security’s team of IoT security and embedded systems
experts have extensive experience identifying potential weaknesses
in IoT devices and applications across a wide range of industries.
Organizations that leverage GuidePoint’s targeted IoT Security
Assessment can ultimately identify and fix vulnerabilities, fortify
their defenses, inspire confidence in their customers, and prevent
unwanted access to their IoT ecosystem.
“IoT devices are prevalent in many industries, yet the risks
associated with them are often underestimated or overlooked,
leaving many organizations and their IT systems vulnerable to
potential threats,” said Victor Wieczorek, VP of Application
Security and Threat & Attack Simulation, GuidePoint Security.
“Through our IoT Security Assessment, we take a holistic approach
that accounts for your specific goals and limitations, identifies
any security weaknesses, and provides tailored recommendations to
fix these issues.”
GuidePoint’s IoT Security Assessments start with an in-depth
architectural review to understand the unique objectives and
constraints that dictated the IoT device’s design, including its
supporting infrastructure. This review will encompass the IoT
device’s hardware, firmware, networking, and its companion web or
mobile applications to holistically identify security weaknesses
and provide practical remediation recommendations.
Key benefits of GuidePoint’s IoT Security Assessment
include:
- IoT Network Security - assessment of an organization’s
IoT ecosystem services and functions to identify insecure
protocols, misconfigurations, vulnerabilities in device operations
and custom network protocols.
- IoT Physical Security - verification of the physical
security of an organization’s IoT devices, including digital or
physical locks, anti-tamper mechanisms and access monitoring.
- IoT Firmware Security - review of an IoT device’s
firmware to identify vulnerabilities that could leave an
organization’s network and customers open to attack, along with
actionable remediation recommendations.
