You've protected the security of your IoT systems through careful design and configuration of your networks, development or selection of secure software, attention to updates and patches, application of secure authentication and authorization, monitoring and numerous other considerations. However, when an attacker gains physical access to devices, many of your protections are rendered moot.

Unhindered access to a device's physical ports, particularly when combined with other vulnerabilities, may enable an attacker to perform a variety of attacks. Ports need to be protected logically and physically to ensure they are not used as an attack vector.

IoT devices, IoT gateways and other components might be located in remote environments, within public, unsecured spaces or within a private residence. Data within these devices present an attractive target when an attacker has direct, physical access.
