If you work in software, expand your knowledge into hardware-software integration to remain relevant. Those in product management should focus on how to articulate the value of physical security layers to stakeholders. Smart professionals will now upskill in chip architecture or security compliance standards. You should also monitor job postings for roles involving hardware security modules. By bridging the gap between traditional software and physical security, you position yourself for high-value roles in this emerging market.
