Threat analysis for embedded systems

Secure your networked product – with threat modeling according to IEC 62443 and STRIDE.

Discover hidden vulnerabilities, prioritize actions, and lay the foundation for compliance and security—quickly, transparently, and auditably.

A comprehensive threat analysis by experts!

Many companies face the challenge of securing their products against increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks. But where do the greatest risks lie? Which vulnerabilities should be prioritized? And how can investments in security be justified? A well-founded threat analysis provides the basis for decision-making—and creates transparency where it matters most.

Our answer: an experienced security expert, a clear time frame, and a structured threat model as the result. We analyze which attack vectors are relevant for your products, assess the risks according to recognized standards (e.g., IEC 62443, STRIDE), and recommend targeted measures. This not only allows you to better protect your product, but also to meet regulatory requirements such as the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).


 

Our approach is flexible and tailored to your individual scenario – regardless of whether you already have a security concept (security context) or are just starting out.

Since the status of security processes and documentation can vary greatly from company to company, we draw on the entire Teleconnect security portfolio and adaptively apply the methods that are best suited to the respective scenario.

State-of-the-art tools are used to ensure efficient and rapid processing.

There is a tailor-made solution for every customer – based on their fixed budget.

 

 

Do you know which attack vectors are relevant?

You are working towards certification or want to lay the foundation for CRA compliance. This often leaves room for uncertainty :
  • Where are the biggest vulnerabilities and how critical are they?
  • What countermeasures are available and how effective are they?
  • How do you prioritize measures sensibly and avoid overinvestment?

A threat analysis provides you with answers—and a solid basis for deciding on the next steps.

At a glance:
  • Fixed time frame and transparent pricing – also available as a workshop format
  • Methodical analysis of architecture, interfaces, data flows, and security requirements
  • Implementation in accordance with recognized standards (IEC 62443-4-1, STRIDE, Data Flow Diagrams)
  • Clear recommendations for action and prioritization of risks
  • Documentation as a threat model – with mapping to IEC 62443-4-2 on request
  • Security requirements for your specifications

Why Threat Modeling with Teleconnect?

Are you developing an embedded or industrial product and want to protect it specifically against cyberattacks—while also complying with regulatory requirements such as IEC 62443, CRA, or industry-specific standards?

Our threat modeling provides comprehensible artifacts and prioritized measures that you can directly transfer into your roadmap and processes:

  • Practical evaluation for gateways, routers, edge devices, PLC-related systems
  • In-depth stack expertise (OpenWRT/Embedded Linux/FreeRTOS, BSP, drivers, provisioning)
  • Structured delivery within a certified quality management system
MITRE

This is how we create the threat analysis that suits your product

1
Understanding
Joint scoping: We record the architecture, interfaces, data flows, and protection requirements of your product.
2
Modeling
Creation of data flow diagrams (DFD), identification and visualization of all relevant attack vectors according to STRIDE and IEC 62443.
4
Analyze & Evaluate
Systematic risk assessment, prioritization, and assignment to relevant security controls—always with an eye toward certification and economic effectiveness.
3
Recommend & Document
You will receive auditable documentation (threat model), clear recommendations for action, mapping to the required standards (e.g., IEC 62443-4-2), and specific security requirements for your specifications.
5
Implementation & Support
Whether it's a workshop, review session, or implementation of recommendations, our experts will support you until your product is secure and compliant.

What you get – your concrete results

  • Threat model: system context, data flows, trust boundaries, attack surface
  • Risk assessment (STRIDE/IEC 62443 mindset) as a risk register, including SL-T reference
  • Prioritized list of measures with impact and effort estimates
  • Mapping to CRA/IEC 62443 controls and CE-relevant references
  • Audit and certification-ready documentation for your project or approval
  • Executive readout (management) + deep dive (engineering)
  • Workshop or fixed-price offer – transparent and predictable
