"Defeating cyberattacks on 3-D printers"

3D printers are expected to become more attractive targets of cyberattacks as this technology is now being utilized to print objects and parts used in critical infrastructure. The launch of cyberattacks targeting 3D printers may significantly impact sectors of critical infrastructure such as healthcare, transportation, manufacturing, and more. Therefore, researchers at Rutgers University-New Brunswick and Georgia Institute of Technology have developed three new methods to defend 3D printers from cyberattacks. This article further discusses the techniques developed by researchers to detect the infiltration and hacking of 3D printer controllers.
