• Medical devices
• Industrial control and automation systems
• Other IoT devices

Our cybersecurity testing laboratory assesses IoT devices to minimize risk of attacks and help you sell electrical and electronic devices with confidence.

While very useful in daily life, IoT devices are particularly vulnerable to cyber-attacks, which are increasingly widespread nowadays. Cyber-attacks can result in loss of private information, identity theft, financial fraud, privacy violations and countless other harms to the well-being, mental and physical health, and even personal safety of the IoT device users of IoT devices.
