Case Study: a US-based IoT provider strengthens security and confirms US-only AWS data routing with ScienceSoft penetration testing

a US-based IoT provider validates IoT app and camera security in 5 days with ScienceSoft

ScienceSoft was engaged by a US-based IoT provider to perform penetration testing on their iOS and Android mobile apps and two types of smart security cameras. The customer's challenge was to ensure these products had no security vulnerabilities and to confirm that all data traffic to the AWS cloud was communicated exclusively via US servers to eliminate the risk of international data leaks.

ScienceSoft assembled a team that performed comprehensive penetration testing using black box and gray box models. The solution confirmed data was routed only through US AWS servers and uncovered several minor vulnerabilities. ScienceSoft provided a final report with remediation recommendations, allowing the customer to confidently continue providing their services with a high overall security level. The entire engagement was completed in just five working days.
