IoT-Specific Attacks & Supply Chain Risks – Protecting Connected Devices from Manipulation
A holistic approach for sustainable security
Billions of Devices – One Insecure Network?
IoT devices are often the weakest link in the security chain. Default passwords, missing encryption, and neglected updates make them preferred targets for attackers.
VamiSec offers a holistic IoT security approach: from firmware analysis to network protocol testing to verifying the cloud backend infrastructure.
$ ./iot-scanner --target 192.168.0.0/24
[!] Device: Smart Thermostat — default credentials
[!] Protocol: MQTT — no TLS encryption
[!] Firmware: v1.2.1 — 14 known CVEs
[ok] Camera: firmware up-to-date
[ok] Gateway: TLS 1.3 enforced

What We Test
IoT-Specific Attacks
Firmware analysis, protocol vulnerabilities (MQTT, CoAP, Zigbee), default credentials, insecure API endpoints – we test all IoT-specific attack vectors.
Supply Chain Risks
Supply chain analysis: are devices delivered securely? Are firmware updates signed? Can compromised components enter your environment?
Connected Device Protection
From smart home to industrial control systems: we test whether your connected devices are secured against manipulation, remote attacks, and physical access.
OT/ICS Environments
Security analysis of industrial control systems (ICS/SCADA) – with special focus on availability and production safety.
Our Service Scope
Firmware Analysis
Static and dynamic analysis of IoT firmware for vulnerabilities and backdoors.
Network Protocol Testing
Testing all protocols used for encryption and authentication.
Hardware Testing
Physical device security: JTAG/UART interfaces, debug ports, memory extraction.
Cloud Backend Testing
Security analysis of the associated cloud infrastructure and APIs.
App Security
Analysis of mobile app components (iOS/Android) of the IoT ecosystem.
Detailed Report
CVSS-rated vulnerabilities with concrete remediation recommendations.
Our Process – in 5 Steps
OSINT & Recon
Analysis of publicly available data, firmware repositories, and IoT documentation to identify potential vulnerabilities.
Threat Modeling
Defining critical IoT assets (devices, protocols, supply chain components) and realistic attack vectors.
Red Teaming
Simulation of targeted attacks on IoT devices, networks, and cloud connections – practical and aligned with your specific architecture.
Assisted Blue Teaming
Demonstrating detection and mitigation approaches to strengthen internal defense measures and enable sustainable learning.
Debrief & Measures
Documentation of attack paths, response evaluation, and derivation of concrete recommendations for improved security and compliance.
