Hardware Security

Hardware security involves safeguarding computer systems and data through physical components. It's about protecting against cyberattacks that target hardware. Measures like Trusted Platform Modules (TPM) store encryption keys securely, while Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) manage keys and cryptographic operations. Secure boot ensures only trusted software runs during startup. Hardware encryption secures data processing, and tamper-resistant components resist physical attacks. Firmware security protects against vulnerabilities in system-level software. Hardware-based authentication enhances access security. Hardware security plays a vital role in comprehensive cybersecurity, defending against both virtual and physical threats.
