In recent weeks, headlines have been dominated by stories of companies falling victim to increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks. Just last week, researchers demonstrated the ability to hack bike electronic shifters with just a few hundred dollars of hardware, exposing vulnerabilities in even the most seemingly secure systems. Around the same time, a significant data breach exposed sensitive information from a national public data repository, putting billions of people at risk and raising yet another national security concern. These incidents are not outliers but part of a troubling trend that shows no sign of slowing down.
