Modern IT, OT, IoT and AV environments depend on continuous connectivity between users, endpoints, displays and operational systems. However, every physical interface can also expand the cyberattack surface.
Video, audio, USB and peripheral connections are often treated as trusted interfaces, yet they can become potential paths for unauthorized data transfer, information leakage, malware propagation and cross-network communication.
The challenge becomes even greater in defense, critical infrastructure, control rooms, SOC/NOC environments and other security-sensitive operations, where users may need to view information or control systems across multiple security domains without creating an unintended bidirectional connection.
Organizations therefore need more than conventional software-based cybersecurity. They need security mechanisms that control connectivity at the hardware level and reduce reliance on software configuration, endpoint security or user behavior.
