Your IoT Devices Are Your Biggest Blind Spot

Devices Ship Fast. Security Doesn’t.

Default credentials, unpatched firmware, exposed debug ports, and insecure wireless protocols give attackers a foothold that traditional penetration tests never touch. If your connected devices weren’t built with security baked in, they’re already a liability.

Automated Scans Can’t Open a Case

Raxis IoT penetration testing goes beyond the network. Our engineers physically deconstruct devices, reverse engineer firmware, intercept wireless communications, and probe cloud integrations — uncovering the vulnerabilities that scanners will never see.

From Lab Bench to Boardroom

Whether you manufacture connected products or deploy them across your enterprise, Raxis delivers a clear picture of your full IoT attack surface — with prioritized findings and remediation steps your team can act on immediately.

What We Test

Hardware Security Assessment

Every IoT device starts with a circuit board — and that’s where we start, too. Raxis engineers examine exposed debug ports (JTAG, UART, SPI, SWD), removable storage, and physical interfaces that could give an attacker direct access to firmware, cryptographic keys, or device memory. If someone can pop your case and own your device, we’ll find out first.

Firmware Analysis & Reverse Engineering

Firmware is the brain of every IoT device, and it’s where critical vulnerabilities hide. We extract firmware through hardware interfaces or publicly available update files, then perform deep static and dynamic analysis. Raxis engineers hunt for hardcoded credentials, insecure cryptographic implementations, outdated libraries, backdoor accounts, and weak update mechanisms that could allow attackers to persist across reboots and patches.

Wireless Protocol Testing

Bluetooth, BLE, Zigbee, Z-Wave, LoRa, Wi-Fi, cellular — IoT devices communicate over a broad range of wireless protocols, each with unique attack vectors. Raxis intercepts and analyzes wireless traffic, tests for replay attacks, evaluates encryption strength, and assesses pairing and authentication mechanisms. We identify whether an attacker within radio range could eavesdrop, inject commands, or hijack device sessions.

API & Cloud Integration Testing

Most IoT devices don’t operate in isolation. They connect to cloud dashboards, mobile apps, and backend APIs that aggregate data and push commands. Raxis tests these integrations for broken authentication, insecure data transmission, privilege escalation, injection vulnerabilities, and improper access controls — because a secure device connected to an insecure API is still a compromised device.

Mobile & Companion App Testing

If your IoT device ships with a mobile app, that app is part of your attack surface. Raxis evaluates companion applications for insecure local data storage, weak authentication flows, API key exposure, certificate pinning bypasses, and inter-process communication vulnerabilities on both iOS and Android platforms.

Network Segmentation & Architecture Review

IoT devices shouldn’t live on the same network as your crown jewels. Raxis assesses how your connected devices are segmented from production IT environments, evaluates firewall rules and VLAN configurations, and tests whether a compromised IoT device can be used as a pivot point to reach sensitive internal systems.

Industries We Protect

IoT security challenges vary dramatically by sector. Raxis brings specialized expertise to the industries where connected devices carry the highest stakes.

Energy & Utilities

Smart meters, grid sensors, and connected monitoring systems are expanding the attack surface across power generation and distribution networks. A compromised device can disrupt operations or provide a backdoor into critical OT environments.

Transportation

Connected signaling systems, vehicle telematics, fleet tracking, and passenger-facing platforms create a complex web of IoT endpoints. Raxis tests these systems to prevent disruptions that could affect safety and operations. 

Water & Wastewater

Remote sensors, automated treatment controls, and SCADA-connected monitoring devices are increasingly targeted. Raxis helps water utilities secure the connected devices that keep communities safe. 

Communications & Telecom

Network infrastructure devices, edge computing hardware, and customer premise equipment all represent IoT attack vectors that can compromise the broader communications ecosystem. 

Healthcare & Medical Devices

Connected medical devices handle sensitive patient data and directly impact patient safety. Raxis tests infusion pumps, patient monitors, imaging systems, and wearable health devices for vulnerabilities that could lead to data breaches or device manipulation.

Manufacturing & Consumer Products

If you build connected products — from smart home devices to industrial sensors — Raxis helps you find and fix security flaws before they ship. Pre-release IoT penetration testing protects your brand, your customers, and your bottom line.

How Raxis IoT Penetration Testing Works

01

Scoping & Threat Modeling

We define target devices, infrastructure, and objectives with your team. Raxis builds a custom threat model based on your device architecture and deployment environment so testing mirrors the attack scenarios that actually matter to your business.

02

Reconnaissance & Device Profiling

Our engineers map your device ecosystem — communication protocols, chipset architectures, firmware versions, and cloud dependencies — through OSINT, documentation review, and hands-on examination. Full intelligence before a single exploit is attempted.

03

Hands-On Testing & Exploitation

This is where Raxis earns its reputation. We physically probe hardware interfaces, extract and reverse engineer firmware, intercept wireless traffic, and attack cloud and API integrations. Every vulnerability is validated with proof-of-concept exploitation — not theoretical risk ratings.

04

Pivoting & Impact Demonstration

A compromised device is just the beginning. Raxis demonstrates what an attacker can actually achieve — lateral movement into enterprise networks, data exfiltration, command injection, or persistent backdoor access. Our signature storyboard walkthroughs show the full attack chain.

05

Reporting & Remediation Guidance

Detailed findings delivered through the Raxis One portal — prioritized by risk, backed by proof-of-concept screenshots, and paired with step-by-step remediation steps. We debrief with your engineering and security teams so every finding is understood and actionable.

06

Remediation Retesting

After your team implements fixes, Raxis retests to verify vulnerabilities have been properly closed — not just patched on paper. You get confirmation that the job is done right.

Frequently Asked Questions About IoT Testing

Virtually any connected device — smart home products, industrial sensors, medical devices, wearables, automotive components, smart meters, embedded controllers, and custom hardware. If it has a processor and a communication interface, we can test it.

IoT penetration testing spans multiple layers that a traditional network test doesn’t touch: physical hardware, firmware, wireless protocols, embedded operating systems, and device-to-cloud communication. It requires specialized tools, lab environments, and hands-on expertise that go well beyond scanning IP addresses.

It depends on the scope. Hardware-level testing typically requires physical access to the device, which can be shipped to our lab or tested on-site using our Raxis Transporter. Cloud, API, and network-layer testing can often be performed remotely.

Timelines vary based on device complexity and scope. A single consumer IoT device typically takes 1–2 weeks. Complex multi-device ecosystems with firmware analysis, wireless testing, and cloud integration reviews may take 3–4 weeks. We’ll provide a clear timeline during scoping.

Absolutely. Pre-release IoT penetration testing is one of our most valuable service offerings. Identifying and fixing vulnerabilities before launch is dramatically cheaper — and less damaging to your brand — than addressing them after deployment.

IoT testing focuses on connected devices, their firmware, wireless communications, and cloud integrations. OT penetration testing targets industrial control systems like SCADA, PLCs, RTUs, and DCS environments used in critical infrastructure. Raxis offers both as specialized service lines.
