FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the CCPE-IoT certification?

The Check Point CCPE-IoT (156-404) is a hands-on IoT security workshop that validates the ability to identify and exploit vulnerabilities in IoT devices, protocols, and firmware. It covers the IoT attack surface, MQTT/CoAP protocol security, firmware analysis, and hardware testing techniques.

Who should attend the CCPE-IoT workshop?

Security professionals, embedded system engineers, IoT developers, and penetration testers who want to understand how to assess and exploit IoT devices. It is suitable for intermediate-level security professionals with basic networking knowledge.

What makes IoT hacking different from traditional penetration testing?

IoT hacking requires understanding hardware interfaces (UART, JTAG), proprietary protocols (MQTT, CoAP, Zigbee), firmware analysis, and embedded operating systems — skills not covered in traditional web or infrastructure pentesting certifications.

What tools are used in the CCPE-IoT workshop?

The workshop uses Binwalk for firmware analysis, MQTT Explorer and Mosquitto for protocol testing, CoAP tools, QEMU for device simulation, and various open-source embedded security tools. All tools are demonstrated from setup to exploitation.

Is there an exam for CCPE-IoT?

The 156-404 is delivered as a workshop format with hands-on practical assessments. Contact Zetlan Technologies for current exam and assessment details specific to this certification.

What does Zetlan Technologies offer for CCPE-IoT preparation?

Zetlan provides expert-led IoT security training covering all four workshop modules — from IoT architecture through firmware analysis — with live instructor-led sessions, lab environment access, and practical exploitation exercises.
