IoT, IIoT and OT Attack Simulations

Identify vulnerabilities in connected devices

The Internet of Things (IoT), Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), and Operational Technology (OT) are revolutionising industries but also expanding the attack surface for cybercriminals.

These connected devices and systems are often integrated into critical infrastructure, manufacturing, healthcare, and other essential sectors, making them prime targets for exploitation.

Bramfitt Technology Labs (BTL) offers specialised IoT, IIoT, and OT attack simulations to identify vulnerabilities in these complex environments, enabling you to safeguard your critical systems, data, and operational processes against a broad range of cyber threats.

Critical web application security risks

BTL’s attack simulations for IoT, IIoT, and OT environments are designed to comprehensively assess the security of connected devices and the ecosystems they operate within. Our service goes beyond traditional IT security testing to address the unique challenges posed by industrial systems and interconnected devices.

Our service includes:

Device vulnerability testing: Evaluating the security of IoT devices, sensors, actuators, and control systems to identify weaknesses such as insecure firmware, default credentials, or misconfigurations.
Protocol and communication analysis: Testing the security of communication protocols used in IoT and OT environments, such as MQTT, Modbus, and OPC-UA, ensuring they are protected against interception, manipulation, or replay attacks.
Endpoint security assessments: Analysing how devices interact with networks and systems to detect vulnerabilities at the device, network, and application layers.
Supply chain risk assessments: Examining the hardware and software supply chains to identify potential risks introduced through third-party vendors.
Physical security testing: Assessing how physical vulnerabilities (such as device tampering) could compromise security, particularly in critical infrastructure environments where physical access may lead to operational disruptions.
Real-time attack simulations: Simulating advanced persistent threats (APT), ransomware, and other targeted attacks that aim to disrupt industrial operations or manipulate IoT devices for malicious purposes.

Benefits of Attack Simulations

By opting for BTL’s hardware based attack simulations, you gain a detailed understanding of your security risks in an increasingly connected world. The benefits include:

Protection of critical infrastructure: From industrial control systems (ICS) to smart manufacturing, our simulations help secure the systems that are vital to your operations, minimising the risk of disruption or damage caused by cyberattacks.
Early detection of vulnerabilities: Our simulations uncover security gaps in both legacy systems and new IoT or IIoT deployments, allowing you to address issues before they are exploited by attackers.
Improved operational resilience: We help ensure your systems continue running smoothly, even in the face of cyber threats, by identifying and mitigating weaknesses that could lead to operational downtime.
Regulatory compliance: Many industries, especially those involved in critical infrastructure, are subject to stringent regulations. Our simulations help ensure compliance with standards such as NIST, ISO, and IEC for cybersecurity in industrial and IoT environments.
Secure innovation: As your organisation adopts more IoT and IIoT technologies, our simulations ensure that new devices and systems are integrated securely, without introducing new attack vectors.

How our Attack Simulations work

1. Scoping and Risk Identification

We begin by understanding your IoT, IIoT, or OT environment, identifying critical systems, devices, and networks, as well as potential high-risk areas.

2. Device and Network Mapping

Our team creates a detailed map of your connected devices, industrial systems, and network architecture, which is used to identify potential vulnerabilities and points of entry for attackers.

3. Simulated Attacks

We simulate a variety of attack scenarios, which can include malware infections, denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks, and physical tampering attempts. These tests cover both the cyber and physical aspects of IoT and OT security.

4. Real-Time Monitoring and Reporting

During the simulation, we provide live updates on any vulnerabilities discovered, allowing your team to understand how attacks evolve and what measures can be taken to mitigate them.

5. Comprehensive Vulnerability Report

After the simulations, we provide a detailed report that includes a full list of vulnerabilities, their potential impact on operations, and step-by-step remediation guidance. The report is tailored to both technical teams and business leaders, providing insights into the business risks associated with each vulnerability.

6. Ongoing Support and Remediation

Post-simulation, BTL offers ongoing guidance to help you implement the necessary security measures, strengthen your defences, and continuously monitor the security of your IoT, IIoT, and OT systems.

Why work with BTL?

Bramfitt Technology Labs brings extensive experience in both cybersecurity and industrial systems, making us uniquely qualified to handle the complexities of IoT, IIoT, and OT security.

Our team understands the challenges of securing devices and systems that were not always designed with cybersecurity in mind. We combine deep industry expertise with a practical approach, ensuring that our simulations not only identify vulnerabilities but also offer realistic, actionable solutions to mitigate them.

At BTL, we pride ourselves on being more than just security testers—we are partners in safeguarding your most critical systems, enabling secure innovation without compromising safety or operations.
