Case Study: EyeLock achieves ironclad security for biometric access devices with Rapid7

Rapid7 Conducts a Penetration Test for Eyelock

Eyelock, a biometric technology company specializing in iris-based identity authentication used in banks, airports, and other high-security settings, needed an external team to thoroughly evaluate the security of its logical-access products before release. The company sought a vendor with deep experience in embedded products, strong security expertise, and a solid industry reputation — and required on-site testing to assess both hardware and software components.

Rapid7 Professional Services was selected for an eight-week, on-site penetration test thanks to their technical breadth and attacker mindset. Using hands-on hardware and software testing plus DREAD-based reporting and continuous communication, Rapid7 uncovered and helped Eyelock remediate vulnerabilities, tightened the product’s security architecture, and left Eyelock confident its iris templates and access solutions meet stringent security standards.
