Protect your devices from relentless and permanent take-overs. Protect them from breaches that result from reverse engineering tactics and devices compromised by fool-proof IoT device-ers. Protection is Wow IoT security Testing.

Insecure Communication Protocols

Experts painstakingly review and examine IoT communication protocols such as MQTT and CoAP, and devices such as Zigbee, BLE, and Wi-Fi, to reveal vulnerabilities associated with deficient encryption and the absence of authentication and protective devices. Each breach in the IoT protective walls leaves devices vulnerable to sniper attacks from malicious forces. Packet and data interception and manipulation are easily within reach. Perfected communication results from design, and PlutoSec encrypts and maintains silent and secret IoT network devices from malicious IoT attacks.

Weak Authentication and Token Authorization

It is amazing. IoT cybersecurity gaps can exist and remain within reach of neglected gaps. Gaps such as hard flaws, missing brute protectors, foolishly managed sessions, and tokens. Access to devices, APIs, and cloud consoles that are valuable results in unrestricted access. This is the very notion of proper. Devices and user IoT ecosystems are tested and validated to guarantee. Access by devices and users in the ecosystem is properly defined, diluted, and protected by strong, layered fool, foolproof mechanisms.

Data Leakage and Privacy Exposure

In evaluations of IoT security, systems for detecting and evaluating APIs, cloud storage misconfigurations, and unencrypted transmissions reveal that these systems may result in security breaches of privacy or failure to comply with regulations. We analyze the IoT systems for the collection, transmission, and storage of sensitive information regarding compliance with the GDPR, HIPAA, and other privacy regulations. This, in turn, lowers the risk and increases the customer confidence in IoT security solutions.

Firmware Tampering & Code Injection

PlutoSec detects and monitors delivery channels for undue firmware alterations and for the unsupported infusion of briefing and malicious codes.
