Overview
OT Penetration Testing involves simulating targeted cyber-attacks against your industrial control systems to identify weaknesses across hardware, software and processes. We start with non-intrusive scans—vulnerability assessments, network mapping and traffic analysis—then, where safe, execute controlled exploits to demonstrate real impact.
Our offensive-security approach tests the effectiveness of your existing safeguards and reveals gaps that could otherwise be overlooked. Throughout, we prioritize availability to ensure production continuity.
Why Conduct OT Penetration Testing?
- Identify Hidden Gaps: Find weaknesses in hardware, software and operational processes to develop targeted remediation.
- Validate Controls: Demonstrate the real-world effectiveness of your security measures.
- Uncover New Bugs: Patching can introduce fresh vulnerabilities—our tests catch them early.
- Simulate Real Attacks: Go beyond theoretical assessments with live scenarios that stress your defenses.
- Build Confidence: Deliver proof points to stakeholders on your OT resilience.
Key Benefits
- Understand how far attackers can penetrate your OT network
- Gauge operational impact of potential breaches
- Map likely attack paths against critical assets
- Deep technical analysis of your ICS/SCADA security posture
- Prioritize high-risk vulnerabilities for remediation
- Preserve availability with a carefully scoped test strategy
