Is your hardware secure #think_twice

Every time we do projects , we do everything to make the IT solution’s secure and try our best shot to make it less vulnerable ( no one can guarantee full security ). But we generally pay 100% attention to the software part but what about hardware ? THINK TWICE.Your views may change immediately after this :

But the big question “Is their any precaution we can take regarding this ?”. I have reported this to few Government Organization’s where we submitted our tender bids during the eWebSolution’s starting days, but outcomes were sometime good and majority of time bad. :) If you know any solution to problems like this, please comment , on the other hand I would love to see any Indian company coming up with reliable own manufactured Hardware’s :) :) :D :D
