ICS SCADA OT IoT Penetration Testing

Home Services Penetration Testing ICS SCADA OT IoT Penetration Testing

In a world where industries and IT infrastructures are becoming increasingly interconnected, securing ICS, SCADA, OT and IoT systems is no longer an option, but a necessity. These systems, while critical to the continuity of manufacturing, energy or transportation operations, are increasingly becoming targets of advanced cyber attacks. At Elementrica, we specialize in penetration testing of these critical systems, simulating real-world threats and identifying vulnerabilities that can be exploited by hackers. In addition to testing directly in production environments, we also test PLC controllers in our dedicated labs. This allows us to securely test their resistance to various attack scenarios, minimizing the risk of disruption to your infrastructure. Our testing includes security assessments of operating systems, networks, as well as IoT devices to ensure comprehensive protection of your critical processes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you want to know about ICS SCADA OT IoT Penetration Testing

Why is ICS/SCADA/OT penetration testing important to our organization?

ICS, SCADA and OT systems control critical operations in industry, energy or manufacturing. When they are compromised, the consequences can be catastrophic - from production interruptions to infrastructure damage. Penetration testing helps detect vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by cybercriminals, so your organization can better protect its critical processes from threats.

What devices and systems are covered by penetration testing in the context of ICS, SCADA, OT and IoT?

The tests cover key components of industrial systems, such as PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), SCADA devices, industrial automation systems, OT devices, and any IoT devices that integrate with industrial infrastructure. In addition, we analyze communication between devices and network and segmentation security.

What are the most common attacks targeting IoT systems and how can we protect against them?

The most common attacks against IoT systems include taking over devices with weak passwords, lack of software updates, lack of proper segmentation and insufficient encryption of connections. To protect against them, it is important to regularly update devices, use strong passwords, and implement advanced encryption and authentication mechanisms.

Do you offer testing of PLC controllers in a lab environment instead of a production environment?

Yes, we offer testing of ICS controllers in a secure lab environment. This allows us to test their resistance to various attack scenarios without the risk of disrupting production operations. Testing in the lab allows us to simulate attacks under controlled conditions, which minimizes the impact on production system operations.

How does ICS/SCADA/OT penetration testing help comply with industry regulations?

Penetration testing of ICS, SCADA and OT systems helps you comply with regulatory requirements by identifying and eliminating potential vulnerabilities. Through testing, your organization can provide evidence that it is complying with security standards required by NIS2, ISO 27001 as well as other industry regulations, minimizing the risk of financial penalties and incidents.

What technologies and tools do you use during ICS/SCADA/OT penetration testing?

During penetration testing, we use advanced tools such as Wireshark for network traffic analysis, Metasploit for vulnerability detection and exploitation, and dedicated tools for testing industrial protocols such as Modbus and DNP3. Our approach is tailored to the specific needs of industrial systems, allowing us to effectively detect and remediate vulnerabilities.

What are the latest trends and threats related to the security of industrial systems?

One of the biggest threats today is the increase in ransomware attacks targeting industrial systems. Cybercriminals are increasingly exploiting security vulnerabilities in ICS and SCADA systems to disrupt operations and demand ransom. Other threats include insider threat attacks and the growing risk of integrating OT systems with traditional IT networks, which increases the attack surface.

Do you offer reports and recommendations after completing penetration testing of industrial systems?

Yes, after the tests are completed, we provide a detailed report that includes a description of the vulnerabilities found, their impact on security, and recommendations for their remediation. The report is prepared in a way that both technical and management teams can understand. We also offer support in implementing the recommendations to help you effectively secure your industrial infrastructure.
