    Attack-surface map for cyber devices

    Wireless & Physical Interface Profiler

    Pick the interfaces your device actually exposes - from Wi-Fi and BLE to NFC, RFID, USB-OTG, JTAG, and CAN. Get the threats reviewers expect to see in the threat model, the pen-test scoping that proves them out, and the evidence each interface adds to your premarket submission.

    Interfaces the device actually exposes

    Include service-only ports, paired accessories, and anything physically present even if disabled in software.

    Wireless

    Wired / physical

    Cloud / app

    Update / service

    What you'll see after you submit

    Every interface → threats + pen-test scope + premarket evidence

    • 17 interface entries spanning wireless (Wi-Fi, BLE, BR/EDR, NFC, RFID, cellular, paired phone), wired/physical (USB data, USB-OTG, serial/CAN, removable media, JTAG/SWD), cloud/app (vendor API, companion app, portal), and update/service (OTA).
    • Reviewer-relevant seeded threats with abuse case, safety impact, and AAMI TIR57 / SW96 control IDs.
    • Pen-test scoping list per interface so your testing SOW covers every exposed surface.
    • Premarket-evidence list per interface so your eSTAR cybersecurity sections include what reviewers expect.

    Common misconceptions

    What teams usually get wrong

    • Myth: If it's just NFC for pairing, it doesn't need a threat model entry.

      Reality: Tap-to-configure NFC is one of the most common ways malicious configuration lands on a device. Reviewers expect it in the threat register with signed-payload mitigations.

    • Myth: RFID is a logistics concern, not a cybersecurity concern.

      Reality: If the device authenticates a consumable, accessory, or clinician using RFID, it is a safety-relevant security control and must be modeled.

    • Myth: A USB-C port that 'only charges' has no attack surface.

      Reality: USB-C role detection can be coerced. Without hardware-level data-line isolation, the port is a data path.

    Why this tool is current
