What is an OT penetration test?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An OT penetration test, also known as an ICS penetration test, is a specialised type of penetration test that focuses on industrial control systems (ICS) and operational technology (OT).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These tests are carried out to check the safety of systems used in industry, such as in energy supply, transport and manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In contrast to traditional IT systems, which are mainly used for data processing, ICS systems control physical processes in the real world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim of an OT penetration test is to identify and eliminate vulnerabilities in these systems to ensure that they are protected against attacks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

What is an IoT penetration test?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In contrast, an IoT penetration test is a specialised type of penetration test that focuses on Internet of Things (IoT) devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IoT devices are devices that are connected to each other via the internet and collect and exchange data to extend their functionality. These include, for example, intelligent household appliances, surveillance cameras and vehicles with networked technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An IoT penetration test aims to identify and eliminate vulnerabilities in these devices to ensure that they are protected against attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is important because IoT devices often have access to sensitive information and can easily be compromised by attackers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

What special features do OT, IoT or embedded penetration tests entail?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Testing hardware components not only requires special expertise in this area, but also an appropriate test environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a rule, the customer sends the components to be tested to our laboratory, where they are tested in a highly professional environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there are components, especially in the OT area, that require on-site testing, for example because they are too large or permanently installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vulnerabilities found, their risk assessment and the elimination of the risk also differ greatly from classic network and application penetration tests.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
