What does a hardware security assessment cover?

Scope may include architecture, boot, firmware, key storage, physical interfaces, protocols, updates, cloud, and exploitation evidence, according to the threat model.

Is a finished product required?

Not necessarily. Architecture review, threat modeling, and firmware analysis can begin earlier; prototypes and physical units expand the available testing.

CYBERSECURITY APPLIED TO THE PRODUCT

Cybersecurity for hardware, firmware, IoT, and embedded systems.

EAGLE BS helps teams identify risk across the boundaries between silicon, firmware, protocols, applications, and cloud—and turn technical findings into engineering decisions that protect both product and business.

SYSTEM VIEW

The attack surface does not respect the boundary between hardware and software.

A device can contain secure code and still fail in boot, key storage, a debug interface, its update process, or communication with other systems. That is why an assessment starts with assets, adversaries, and trust boundaries—not with an isolated tool.

Where we work

Threat modeling

We map assets, flows, trust, attacker capabilities, and impact scenarios to prioritize what truly needs protection.

Secure architecture

We review boot, device identity, keys, storage, updates, isolation, privileges, and communication with external services.

Firmware and low level

We analyze binaries, dependencies, configurations, debug surfaces, memory, and mechanisms underpinning device trust.

IoT and protocols

We assess authentication, pairing, cryptography, replay protection, key management, APIs, and boundaries across device, gateway, and cloud.

Risk-led testing

We combine review, dynamic analysis, and physical testing aligned with the threat model to produce reproducible evidence.

Remediation and lifecycle

We prioritize findings, support fixes, retest, and establish practices for updates, response, and continuous improvement.

Security must follow the product from architecture through operations.

If your organization builds devices, firmware, connected infrastructure, or hardware-dependent systems, we can help make technical risk visible and actionable.
