Cybersecurity 

As technologies related to Smart Cities and Internet of Things (IoT) advance, there is an increased risk that cybersecurity incidents will have serious impacts on society. Many cyberattacks are enabled through the unauthorized manipulation of smart devices during manufacturing, creating opportunities for third parties to exploit vulnerabilities. The intent of IPC-1792 is to eliminate opportunities for software and hardware manipulation throughout the end-to-end manufacturing process, ensuring that products are built as intended by the original designer. Application of IPC-1792 provides continued assurance against evolving cybersecurity threats in end-products as technology advances. 

The use of IPC-1792 enables companies to quickly identify products that may have been affected, even by unknown cybersecurity attacks during the manufacturing process, ensuring all products released into the marketplace are promptly addressed and restored from risks of tampering related to hardware and software content.

The use of this standard guarantees damage minimization even against unknown attacks.
