The article emphasizes that the security of digital devices, applications, and infrastructure is crucial for trusting our digital ecosystems. It highlights the threat posed by inadequate security and the potential for abuse of digital identities. While previous cybersecurity efforts focused predominantly on software vulnerabilities, the article stresses that hardware security is equally vital, as physical components and firmware can also expose systems to risks. Thus, comprehensive security measures must account for both hardware and software to ensure overall protection.
Security for information technology is particularly important as digital identities can, without adequate protection, be duplicated and abused with ease.
Just like a security guard at a hotel is ineffective if all the windows and back doors are wide open, software security is only effective if the hardware it runs on is secure.
