Unveiling Vulnerabilities: A Deep Dive into Pentesting Industrial Smart Meters

See our latest blog post, where we embark on a journey into the world of industrial smart meters. In an era where the backbone of critical infrastructure relies on interconnected systems, the security of hardware and software becomes paramount. Today, we delve into the realm of pentesting, specifically focusing on the challenges and nuances encountered in the examination of industrial smart meters.

Nestled in Vienna, our Hardware Lab is at the forefront of innovation, allowing us to go beyond conventional security testing. Here, we test both software and hardware components using specialized equipment housed in our office. What sets us apart is our commitment to delving deep, all the way down to the lowest hardware layer—an approach that only a select few in Austria undertake.

As pioneers in this field, we recognize the critical importance of securing industrial smart meters and their role in the broader context of critical infrastructure and Industry 4.0. Our expertise is not theoretical but a hands-on, practical application that addresses the real-world challenges of ensuring the security and resilience of interconnected systems.

In this paper, we not only share insights into our unique and thorough approach to pentesting but also shed light on common mistakes that can compromise the integrity of smart meters. Understanding these is pivotal for fortifying the digital backbone that supports our critical infrastructure.

We occasionally carry out product security tests on manufacturers from e.g Asia or USA to check for possible (politically motivated) espionage in hardware and software products. This proactive measure ensures that only trustworthy components that are as secure as possible find their way into critical infrastructures.

Explore the depths of pentesting to industrial smart meters, setting ourselves apart as one of the few in Austria to reach the lowest hardware layer. Feel free to download our paper, a valuable resource that not only outlines our approach but also provides insights into securing the heart of Industry 4.0. Let’s navigate the complexities together and contribute to a safer, more resilient industrial landscape.
