Our engagements validate real exploitability in shipped firmware and deployed environments, grounded in actual system architecture, realistic attacker behavior, and regulatory context, not generic checklists or one-off reports.
Most penetration tests generate short-lived value:
Findings are not tied to shipped firmware, binaries, or deployed configurations
Results are disconnected from documented threat models and security requirements
Evidence is difficult to reuse for audits, certifications, or customer security reviews
Retesting requires starting from scratch, even for incremental releases
For connected products operating under regulatory and customer scrutiny, this creates unnecessary risk, duplicated effort, and brittle compliance artifacts.
We combine expert-led offensive testing with the Finite State platform so results strengthen both security and compliance outcomes over time. This is not checklist-driven scanning delivered through a SaaS interface.
Testing is informed by your actual product architecture and deployment model.
Inputs may include:
These inputs directly shape test planning and attack path selection, ensuring coverage of realistic risk across device, cloud, and ecosystem boundaries.
All findings are validated against shipped binaries, configurations, and runtime behavior.
We focus on:
This grounds results in what an attacker can actually exploit, not what static analysis alone suggests.
We prioritize reachable and meaningful risk.
Findings are assessed based on:
Each finding documents how the issue is exercised, what it enables, and the conditions required for exploitation, helping teams avoid spending cycles on issues that cannot be reached outside a lab.
All findings, evidence, and remediation guidance are delivered directly into the Finite State platform.
This enables teams to:
Instead of exporting knowledge into static reports, security evidence remains tied to the product as it evolves.
Example Validated Attack Path
Objective: Demonstrate unauthorized control of the device update mechanism
Each step is captured with reproduction steps, supporting evidence, impact assessment, and mapped security requirements and mitigations.
Engagements are scoped to your product architecture, deployment model, and regulatory obligations.
Common engagement types include:
All engagements are led by Finite State security engineers with deep experience testing connected and regulated products.
Our testers have backgrounds in:
Testing is not outsourced, automated, or junior-led.
Red team engagements are objective-driven exercises designed to validate whether realistic attackers can achieve defined outcomes in deployed product environments.
These engagements focus on:
Chaining attacks across device, cloud, mobile, and backend components
Abusing update, provisioning, or lifecycle workflows
Demonstrating paths to real operational or business impact
Engagements are time-boxed, collaboratively scoped, and executed to balance realism with operational safety. The goal is not volume of findings, but demonstrated attacker capability against agreed objectives.
Discuss your product architecture, threat surface, and testing goals with our experts. We will define a scoped engagement aligned to your technical reality and regulatory environment.
