Hardware security assessment service tests the physical device instead of it software (OS and apps) installed on a machine’s hardware. The factors like availability, Integrity, confidentiality, authentication and non-repudiation can be affected if security of the device is breached. Our assessment service covers range of hardware products that include Industrial Control systems (ICS) such as sensors, programmable logic controller (PLC), point of sale (PoS) devices, automobiles, embedded appliances deployed standalone or connected with different appliances in a network etc.

In current era, an ever-increasing number of smart devices bring connectivity and communications to many hardware devices --- and security needed to be provided to the hardware part of these devices along with the software.

It is necessary to consider vulnerabilities that persist in hardware from its time of manufacturing and available from other forums publish on for hardware device breaches/security. Although, any device should be protected (and temper proof), if it connects even indirectly to the internet; the stringency of that protection should be based upon the sensitivity of the device and its utilization. Any device that can be physically accessed is vulnerable and can be prone to leak critical information.
