Debunking Three Myths about Hardware Security MF3d/iStock
email
Because cyber criminals have proven over time that they are capable of circumventing the wealth of software-based security solutions intended to stop them, federal agencies need to consider taking an entirely different path: one which opts for hardware-enabled alternatives.
In doing so, they’ll embark upon what looks like the next revolution in cyber defense: Shipments for hardware supporting digital authentication and embedded security will reach 5.3 billion by 2024, doubling the number of shipments in 2019. Overall, the hardware security modules market will exceed $2 billion by 2027, up from about $828.3 million two years ago. True, traditionalist thinkers in government restrict these advancements to uses such as the safeguarding of classified networks via cross-domain solutions. They also contend that hardware is too expensive, impractical and difficult to deploy broadly as a security tool.
