As connected devices become increasingly integrated into critical systems, physical security is just as important as software defences. PCA Cyber Security offers advanced anti-tampering services to identify and eliminate vulnerabilities that could allow attackers to gain physical access, run espionage campaigns, manipulate components, or extract sensitive data.
The Challenges of Anti-Tampering Services
As devices become more sophisticated, the challenges of preventing tampering grow significantly—ranging from hidden backdoors to advanced physical or software-level intrusions. Companies must thoroughly inspect not only the products they build but also the third-party devices they integrate, ensuring all components are secure and tamper-resistant to minimize risk.
How Can PCA Cyber security Help You?
With our advanced hardware security testing facilities and expert team, we assess your device’s resistance to tampering and side-channel attacks. Using a combination of mechanical intrusion tests, debug interface analysis, and forensic engineering, we uncover security gaps and help you build and use more resilient hardware.
Key Service Components of Anti-Tampering Services
Our anti-tampering services combine in-depth physical testing and embedded system analysis to evaluate your device’s resistance to unauthorized access and hardware manipulation.
The Targets
- All kinds of hardware devices including consumer electronics, IoT products, automotive ECUs,
payment terminals, industrial controllers, and medical devices.
Tamper Resistance Testing
We perform controlled tampering simulations using physical intrusion techniques to evaluate resistance against unauthorized access, including casing breaches, port exploitation, and soldering techniques.
Debug Interface & JTAG Security Analysis
We analyse exposed debugging ports (e.g., JTAG, UART, SWD) for improper protections that may allow attackers to extract firmware, modify system behaviour, or bypass security protocols.
Secure your hardware products with our anti-tampering services.
Objective of the Service
The goal of PCA Cyber Security's anti-tampering service is to uncover and eliminate physical vulnerabilities in hardware products before attackers can exploit them. Through rigorous testing and in-depth analysis, we ensure your products meet high security standards, reducing the risk of unauthorized access, IP theft, and critical data loss.
