Become a Certified IoT Penetration Tester

The Attify Certified IoT Security Pentester (ACIP) is a certification designed to assess your skill sets in Internet of Things security and penetration testing. 


This certification proves that you have a deep understanding of the Internet of Things ecosystem and it's underlying security issues. 


The Certified IoT Security Pentester certification has been built by the same team who has taught Offensive IoT Exploitation in over 13 countries and has pentested hundreds of devices in the past 5 years. The certification exam takes real practical scenarios and present it to them. 


It is an online examination consisting of 150 Multiple Choice Questions (and some subjective and diagram-based) from all different aspects of Internet of Things - Firmware, Embedded Devices, Binary Security, Web, Mobile, Software Defined Radio, Bluetooth Low Energy and ZigBee and can be taken based on your convenient time slot. 


The examination requires prior preparation as the examination includes questions which tests your knowledge of practical application of IoT security concepts.


After you complete the examination, the answers will be evaluated by our team and you will receive the final result within 7 days. 


To pass the examination, you will need to score 65% or above of the total marks post which receive a digital certificate, a badge which you could post on your LinkedIn or other social network to share your achievement and a physical certificate shipped to your address.

FAQ

How much time should I spend preparing for the exam?

It depends on what is your current experience level with IoT Security. If you are taking the certification along with the Offensive IoT Exploitation training, we would recommend you to complete the Offensive IoT Exploitation training class, spend 3-4 days for preparation and then take the examination. 

If you are taking just the certification exam without the Offensive IoT Exploitation training, in that case, we would recommend for at least a week for preparation (if no prior background of IoT Security) or 2-3 days, if you have prior background in IoT Penetration testing.

Can I reschedule the examination time after confirmation?

In case you would like to reschedule the examination, please use our contact form to reach out to us for the same. Please note that examinations can only be rescheduled if it hasn't been started. 

How do I send the certification to my employer or share it on Socials?
