Threats against the Industries
Today’s devices are becoming more internet-connected as we speak. As our world becomes further intertwined with technology, new doors open directly into our lives for potential threats. Hackers are quickly advancing with their attacks, making it detrimental for end users if security is not provided. Consumers within the retail, medical, industrial controls and now even the automotive industries are concerned with using devices in their environment due to the potential risk of a cyber attack. Thus, it is critical for device manufacturers and embedded OEMs to provide security within their devices.
The estimated cost of an average cyber attack is $15 million. Approximately 12 million records were breached in just the first half of 2016 in the retail industry. From 2013 to 2016, the number of breaches in the medical Industry have nearly doubled. Within the industrial control industry, more than half of the critical infrastructure organizations have suffered from breaches in the last year. Additionally, in the automotive industry, automobiles are not immune to cyber attacks as well.
