Hardware consumers could use the list to help them to ask for more secure hardware products from their suppliers,&#8221; according to the CWE site. &#8220;Finally, managers and CIOs can use the list as a measuring stick of progress in their efforts to secure their hardware and ascertain where to direct resources to develop security tools or automation processes that mitigate a wide class of vulnerabilities by eliminating the underling root cause.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/cwe.mitre.org\/scoring\/lists\/2021_CWE_MIHW.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"articleFooter-newsletterSignup\" readability=\"10.473404255319\">\n<p>Keep up with the latest cybersecurity threats, newly-discovered vulnerabilities, data breach information, and emerging trends.
