Penetration Testing

Definition

Penetration Testing: Authorised, scope-bounded attacker simulation against a defined target. Automotive penetration tests target ECUs, gateways, telematics units, OTA backends, or full vehicle architectures.

Where this matters: Automotive Penetration Testing Services

They combine reverse engineering, protocol-level attacks, hardware probing (UART/JTAG, glitching), and software exploitation, and produce findings prioritised by feasibility and impact for the cybersecurity team.
