Shining a light on the security and sovereignty of computing systems and storage
Most high-tech OEMs and service providers are powered on hardware and software that could be compromised at its root level by a tiny chip intentionally implanted by state operatives, or an accidental inclusion of malware from a downloaded bit of code.
The world’s largest institutions don’t want you to focus on how widespread security exploits are in the complete end-to-end supply chain for all of the high-tech products involved in their operations, because it’s bad for business.
This paper will educate you on the reasons why transparency into the origins of our hardware and software is important for assuring the integrity of critical systems and data, and how your enterprise can address this challenge by passing the test of secure provenance.
Widespread computing security risks
With globally sourced computing resources and internet-connected devices proliferating throughout every workplace and living space, the world is just starting to wake up to the reality that we are never 100 percent sure where all of our technology components and code came from.
To use a supply chain term, we are looking for provenance – knowledge of the origin and history of every component of hardware and software code that has made its way into our finished technology products, from design, to sourcing, components, transport, subassembly, system configuration, manufacturing, packaging and delivery.
Do you care about the auditable security foundations of your high-tech hardware and software assets?
