Hardware Security Threats & Supply Chain Risks - Ep 56 - Bentsi Ben-Attar, Sepio Systems
Join us for Episode 56 of the Cyber Security Matters Podcast as we speak with Bentsi Ben-Attar, co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer of Sepio Systems, about the critical yet often overlooked world of hardware-based cybersecurity threats.
In this episode, Bentsi shares his remarkable journey from a hardware-obsessed child to serving seven years in the IDF's elite intelligence unit to co-founding multiple successful cybersecurity ventures with partners he's worked with for over 30 years. We explore why hardware security remains a blind spot for many organisations despite being a significant attack vector for sophisticated adversaries.
Key topics discussed:
• The evolution from network security to hardware access control
• How supply chain manipulation threatens even highly secure organisations
• Why hardware-based attacks remain underreported compared to software breaches
• The impact of AI on both offensive and defensive hardware security capabilities
