How AI and Supply Chain Risk Are Shaping IoT Security

AI is such a huge buzzword. You cannot see anything in the market now that doesn't state they have AI in some capacity. um So, you know, adversaries are already using generative AI to create more convincing phishing, to deep fake voice calls, to, you know, expedite the creation of malware, you know all the incredible things we can do with Cursor to create these amazing applications, even with no understanding of coding, and you know it takes all the work off. Adversaries are using that to be malicious and it's making blue teaming and people who want to secure the IoT device even harder, especially when they have to be now regulated. So, you know, the proliferation of AI is a huge topic, not just because it is an incredible tool to make these incredible products. It also is an incredible tool for adversaries. So, you know, Keeping that in mind has also been incredibly interesting to me. And I'm learning more about AI as it's becoming more and more relevant, how the attack surfaces changes now that AI is in the mix. um and monitoring that, you know, software supply chains have always been ah huge, a huge sore point for a lot of IoT companies, which is why Finite State allows, you know, that kind of visibility into software supply chain, which makes us so critical because supply chain now is more important than ever, especially when you have DOC connected vehicle rule that doesn't allow, you know, Chinese parts in your, in your product. um And you you need to know every aspect of your supply chain. You can't just blindly trust anything anymore. So, you know, again, another plug to the platform is just we give you that visibility. We allow that kind of insight, that X-ray vision into processes or firmware or binaries that normally you wouldn't have. um And so that is, you know, insanely relevant topic with a really easy solution. Just get a subscription. And it really just it solves a lot of the pain points, to be honest. um And those are really the AI and Cyber resilience and I'm sorry, government certifications, as well as supply chain risk management is really where I'm focused on and I'm pretty passionate about because I just is not going away anytime soon. You can like AI or you can't. It's not going anywhere. So you just got to make sure that you are. Designing your devices with failing in mind. You got to divine your decide design your devices with any attack vector possible. You need to at least have thought about it. And with AI, the attack surface expands even more.
