There are multiple reasons to protect data from within the organization. Some are listed here. But to the list of growing concerns we can add another one:
Securitypie brings the story of counterfeit equipment that can be used as a platform to launch attacks or be used as a backdoor for sensitive systems.
Google finds the said presentation, which is unclassified but yet contains some sensitive and disturbing information. Take a look at the presentation's slide 49. I added dramatization affects, but did not change the text or graphics. Adding context around the slides: largest organizations in the US (and probably other countries) as well as U.S Federal and State agencies use counterfeit equipment.
I guess that in today's economy organizations might be incentivized to
purchase a lower priced equipment which might be counterfeit and
vulnerable.
Just thinking about it gives me chills...
