SECURITY FROM SILICON TO CLOUD

Cybersecurity for hardware and connected devices.

We assess and harden connected physical products across the boot chain, firmware, interfaces, communication, credentials, updates, and cloud services.

DIRECT ANSWER

What is hardware and iot security?

Hardware security protects the device and its lifecycle against cloning, secret extraction, tampered firmware, exposed interfaces, and unsafe updates.

Who it is for

Manufacturers, R&D groups, industrial companies, healthtechs, agritechs, IoT vendors, and any company that builds or operates connected equipment.

CONTEXT

Technical decisions with an operational view.

A connected product has to stay secure even when the attacker has physical access. That is why the analysis goes past the API: it covers components, boot, key storage, debug ports, firmware, supply chain, and the update process.

EAGLE BS runs threat modeling and an architecture review before testing controls. That helps prioritize the risks you can address through design changes, security components, hardening, or the manufacturing process.

We also assess post-sale operations: inventory, device identity, credential rotation, telemetry, incident response, and secure updates across the product's service life.

OUTCOMES

What the initiative has to deliver.

Technical goals only matter when they improve security, speed, cost, experience or the ability to decide.

  • 01A defined trust architecture
  • 02Secrets and identity protected
  • 03Secure boot and secure update
  • 04Debug interfaces under control
  • 05Risks prioritized by impact
  • 06A security maintenance plan

WHEN IT MAKES SENSE

Signs that it is time to act.

  • The product will be connected
  • Keys or intellectual property live on the device
  • Regulators or customers impose requirements
  • Firmware can be updated remotely
  • Physical and debug ports are reachable
  • The equipment will stay in service for years

HOW WE WORK

From assessment to operations.

Short stages, visible criteria and knowledge transfer at every decision.

01

Threat modeling

We map assets, attackers, attack surfaces, and impact.

02

Architecture review

We assess components, trust boundaries, and lifecycle.

03

Validation

We test interfaces, secrets, boot, firmware, and communication.

04

Remediation

We prioritize the changes and support the implementation.

DELIVERABLES

Clarity on what gets finished.

  • Threat model
  • Architecture review
  • Hardening plan
  • Test report
  • Secure boot and update recommendations
  • Response and maintenance plan

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Straight answers.

What is the difference between hardware security and firmware security?

Hardware establishes roots of trust, storage, and physical interfaces; firmware implements the controls and the logic. Both have to be analyzed together.

Do you run penetration tests on devices?

Validation can include authorized technical testing of interfaces, firmware, communication, and services, within an agreed scope and rules of engagement.

Does secure boot solve the problem?

It is an important control, but it needs key management, an update chain, safe rollback, debug protection, and sound operations.

Can a product already in production be improved?

Yes, though some fixes depend on the hardware. We prioritize firmware, configuration, backend, and compensating measures that work for the installed base.
