The Insecurity of Everything: How Hardware Data Security is Becoming the Most Important Topic in the World

by Aaron Blum, Kevin Dillon, Brendan Egan

Just 30 years ago, the average household only had a few electronics consisting of a television, landline phones, and appliances. Fast forward to today, and the average household has over 4 times this number and it continues to grow by the day. This trend isn't just specific to households -- it exists at companies, government entities, and virtually every organization and establishment around the world, including in developing countries. This has created a massive electronic waste issue, which is the largest growing stream of solid waste in the world. This massive amount of electronic waste has not only created a sustainability crisis, but has also created the largest cybersecurity crisis of our lifetime. In this book, we'll explain this new trend, how it impacts every individual and organization around the globe, and the right ways to dispose of electronics to be both environmentally friendly but also data sensitive to prevent hardware data breaches.
