OT Penetration Testing

Validate defenses and identify exploitable vulnerabilities with strict safety protocols.

Service Overview

Our OT Penetration Testing service goes beyond vulnerability scanning to validate whether identified weaknesses can be exploited to impact operations.

Our experienced team simulates real-world attack scenarios targeting your industrial control systems while maintaining strict safety protocols. We help you understand actual risk exposure and validate that security controls work as intended.

Testing Approaches

External Testing

Assess internet-facing systems, remote access pathways, and external attack surface from threat actor perspective.

Internal Network Testing

Evaluate segmentation, lateral movement opportunities, and privilege escalation from internal network position.

IT/OT Boundary Testing

Validate DMZ controls, data diode effectiveness, and IT-to-OT attack path prevention.

Protocol-Specific Testing

Assess industrial protocol implementations (Modbus, DNP3, OPC) for vulnerabilities and misconfigurations.

Physical Security Testing

Evaluate physical access controls at field locations and control room environments (optional).

Social Engineering

Test awareness of OT-specific phishing, pretexting, and social engineering tactics (optional).

Safety Protocols

All penetration testing is conducted with explicit rules of engagement, defined safe harbor procedures, and real-time communication channels with operations staff.

Testing against production systems uses non-destructive techniques, and high-risk tests are scheduled during maintenance windows or conducted in lab environments replicating your infrastructure.

  • Pre-approved testing scope and exclusions
  • Emergency stop procedures
  • 24/7 operations team communication
  • Non-destructive testing methodologies
  • Comprehensive insurance coverage

Validate Your Security Controls

Test your defenses with safe, controlled penetration testing designed for OT environments.
