Security Is A Constantly Moving Target, Isn't It Time To Secure The Hardware?

It shouldn't come as a surprise that cybersecurity is a different beast than it was 10, or even 5 years ago. While traditional cyber threats such as adware and spam emails are certainly still alive and kicking, the threat surface has grown enormously with the advent of IoT, mobility, BYOD, and the cloud. It's a basic equation- the more interconnected we get, the more devices, the more digital traffic there is, control declines, the more crevices there are for cyber threats to exploit. As an industry analyst who's been in the tech sector for a long time, I've had an up close and personal look at the evolving security. I wanted to spend some time today highlighting the trends I've been noticing, and what areas we as an industry need to be focusing on.
