Mouser provides engineers with digital defence knowledge in new security resource centre
Mouser equips electronic design engineers with the latest cybersecurity and product knowledge in its security resource centre. As technology advances, so do the methods of cybercriminals, demanding innovative and adaptable defence strategies. Two prominent and increasingly complex issues in today’s landscape are the rise of generative AI phishing and the rapid growth of the Internet of Things (IoT). These challenges emphasise the need for both technological solutions and heightened human awareness to ensure digital safety.
The field of cybersecurity has quickly evolved in response to the increasing sophistication of digital threats. Generative AI, for instance, is reshaping the phishing landscape by creating personalised, grammatically accurate, and contextually relevant attacks at scale. At the same time, the rapid deployment of IoT devices often leads to limited processing power, infrequent patch cycles, and suboptimal security configurations, leaving many devices and connected systems unprotected. Addressing these vulnerabilities requires a rigorous approach to IoT defence measures and component selection. These potential threats highlight the critical importance of modern cybersecurity models like zero-trust architecture. This approach requires verification for all access requests, taking into account identity, contextual factors, and real-time risk assessments.
