Compromised Testing Equipment
Testing and measurement instruments are trusted as the source of truth in factories and labs, but that trust collapses the moment the equipment itself is compromised. When attackers manipulate calibration files or test limits through malicious USB devices, the entire measurement chain becomes corrupted, silently producing “clean” results for defective or unsafe products.
Without proper hardware security, organizations risk flawed production, safety incidents, compliance violations, and a broken root of trust in their QA process.
