Secure-Boot

IoT Security: Protecting Devices and Data IoT devices are everywhere, from smart speakers to sensors in factories. They bring convenience and data, but they also create new paths for attackers. Many devices run outdated firmware, use default passwords, or send data over weak channels. A breach can expose personal information, disrupt services, or allow remote control of devices. A layered, practical approach helps keep both devices and data safe. Even small devices can act as backdoors into your home network if left unsecured. ...

Hardware Security: Protecting the Physical Layer Hardware security is about more than lines of code. The physical layer governs how a device starts, stores secrets, and resists tampering. When hardware is weak, attackers can bypass software defenses or steal keys directly from chips. A clear plan for the hardware helps keep data safe from the first moment a device powers on. Threats to the physical layer come from many angles. Tampering at the board level, counterfeit components, or invasive probes can expose secret keys. Side-channel methods, such as power or timing analysis, can reveal sensitive information without breaking encryption directly. Chips may be cloned or altered during manufacturing or in the field. Keeping a device secure means thinking about all these realities from design to deployment. ...

IoT security: securing billions of connected devices IoT devices power homes, offices, and factories. They collect data, control lights, and monitor equipment. When billions of devices connect, a small flaw can become a widespread risk. Building security into hardware, software, and daily operations helps reduce harm and protect people. What makes IoT security hard? Long device lifetimes and varied hardware make consistent security hard to scale. Update channels are diverse and fragile, slowing fixes. Devices sit inside busy networks with limited visibility. Supply chains and third‑party software introduce unknown risks. Practical steps for organizations: ...
