Software is showing up in many new and unexpected places, for example, IoT, blockchain, microservices and APIs, containers, autonomous vehicles, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. As your textbook points out, that means that the attack surface for software is growing exponentially.

Choose one of the trends/new uses. Check the Other Resources, and then do additional research on your topic.

• Based on your research, what are some of the security challenges associated with your chosen emerging platform?
• How can these security challenges be prevented or remediated?
• Why can't some of the security solutions employed by various types of endpoints (laptops, mobile phones, and desktops, for example) be leveraged to harden IoT devices?

Must meet the below requirement for better grading:

• Security challenges of the emerging platforms: incisively examine the security challenges associated with the emerging platform you have chosen.
• Prevention or remediation of security challenges: suggest ingenious prevention or remediation steps that could be taken to handle the security challenges.
• Issues related to endpoint devices and IoT: intelligently discuss issues related to various types of endpoint devices and IoT
• Sources and documentation: illuminatingly support your assignment with two or more non-textbook sources.
• Mechanics - write in complete, well-constructed sentences with faultless grammar, word choice, punctuation, and spelling; writing is sharp, coherent, and demonstrates sophisticated clarity.

Your paper should be 1000 to 1250 words ( 3 to 5 pages, double-spaced). Support your assignment with at least two outside sources and be sure to cite them properly using APA format.

Remember to proofread your paper before submitting it to correct any mistakes in grammar, word choice, punctuation, or spelling. Your paper should be well organized and clearly written.
