To design better hardware, think like a cyber-criminal [Resources_At Work]

The future of cybersecurity is in the hands of hardware engineers, says Scott Borg, director of the U.S. Cyber Consequences Unit, a nonprofit think tank based in Vermont. He spoke in May at the MEMS & Sensors Technical Congress, held at Stanford University, in California, to an audience of 130 chief technical officers, engineering directors, and key researchers from microelectromechanical systems and sensors companies and labs. Borg warned that “the people in this room are now moving into the crosshairs of cyberhackers in a way that has never happened before.”
