What is supply chain and hardware security?
Supply chain and hardware security checks the devices, components, firmware and software you get from vendors for hidden risks. It includes firmware analysis and reverse engineering, SBOM and component vulnerability review, and vendor security assessments, so weak or tampered parts do not enter your plant or products.
