Bios, Chips, and Implants: Cybersecurity When the Endpoint Is a Human

June 24, 2026 · 13 min

Show notes

When the “endpoint” is part of a person’s body, the stakes of cybersecurity change. In this narrated audio version of Bios, Chips, and Implants: Cybersecurity When the Endpoint Is a Human, we walk through how pacemakers, insulin pumps, exoskeletons, augmented reality headsets, and other bio-digital devices are already intersecting with your networks and decisions. You will hear how threat models evolve when attackers can seek leverage through harm, coercion, or intimate exposure, and why traditional endpoint thinking breaks down when devices cannot simply be reimaged or replaced. This episode is based on my Wednesday “Headline” feature from Bare Metal Cyber Magazine.
