Hardware & Embedded Systems Pentesting
Our hardware & embedded systems security experts find critical vulnerabilities that could put your Internet of Things (IoT), ATMs, automotive technology, medical devices, operational technology, and other cyber-physical systems at risk of a cyberattack.
Medical Device
Hardware & Embedded
Penetration testing for hardware & embedded devices aims to assess vulnerabilities in systems and components. We review for risks which contribute to breaches, data leaks, or disruptions, securing the embedded systems critical to our digital world. Discover security vulnerabilities at all stages of development that affect each layer of the device.
Operational Technology (OT)
Penetration testing for cyber-physical systems targets vulnerabilities in systems merging physical processes and cyber elements. Our experts focus on Operational Technology (OT) processes with a Defense in Depth strategy that aims to assess risks against system integrity, uptime, confidentiality, manipulation, and damage.

ATM Penetration Testing
Modern hackers target automated teller machines (ATMs) for more than just cash, including account numbers, PINs, and points-of-entry into internal networks. With so much at stake, standard compliance checks are no longer enough. NetSPI’s expert penetration testers provide valuable insight into your ATM security by simulating advanced adversarial attacks against your physical and digital environments.
