Summary

In this chapter, you learned a lot about the latest and greatest devices that an attacker can use if they have physical access to your infrastructure and systems.

This knowledge will help you to better understand the current threat landscape, and you will also now be able to easily spot any of those devices and remove them before any major impact occurs to your infrastructure and data.
