Hardware Supply Chain Compromise in Human Interface Devices: Nozomi Networks + Hydro Quebec Joint Research

Compromised Human Interface Devices (HID) such as a mouse, keyboard, or other USBs, which can be found in offices or industrial environments, can be adapted to perform physical attacks. Imagine the cyber-physical effect of an insider plugging a compromised keyboard/mouse into a workstation or Human Machine Interface (HMI). With the aim of setting up a proof of concept, Nozomi Networks and the Hydro-Québec Research Institute (IREQ) will explain how to detect, notify, and recommend proper countermeasures around compromised hardware devices. …
