Hardware vulnerabilities have emerged as a critical concern in the rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape. As organizations strengthen their software defenses, attackers increasingly target hardware components to exploit inherent weaknesses. Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) — highly sophisticated and targeted attacks often backed by nation-states — leverage these hardware vulnerabilities to compromise systems at a fundamental level, bypassing conventional security measures.

This article covers the relationship between hardware vulnerabilities and APTs, offering insights into how these vulnerabilities are exploited, the implications for security, and mitigation strategies.
