Cybersecurity is a challenge across all echelons of the global economy and deciding how to approach the growing capabilities of hackers is a feat that companies are ardently trying to tackle with major investments in products, solutions, and services. Most have been focused on software security and until recently hardware connected devices were not a priority focus.

Threat actors, including state-sponsored, and criminal enterprises are becoming more sophisticated by searching for vulnerabilities to exploit machine learning, and artificial intelligence tools. And they are targeting both software and hardware gaps.

A big target for hackers is the Internet of Things (IoT). The Internet of Things (IoT) broadly refers to devices and equipment that are readable, recognizable, locatable, addressable, and/or controllable via the internet. By 2025, it is expected that there will be more than 30 billion IoT connections, almost 4 IoT devices per person on average and that also amounts to trillions of sensors connecting and interacting on these devices.
