That’s massive, and illustrates how many IoT devices will be around us at that point. Furthermore, it shows how concerned we should be about the potential for something called a “side-channel attack.” Tags: [Gadgets](https://www.datalyst.net/blog/tags/gadgets) [Network Security](https://www.datalyst.net/blog/tags/network-security) [BYOD](https://www.datalyst.net/blog/tags/byod) [0 Comments](https://www.datalyst.net/blog/why-you-need-to-consider-the-risk-of-an-iot-side-channel-attack#comments) [ Continue reading](https://www.datalyst.net/blog/why-you-need-to-consider-the-risk-of-an-iot-side-channel-attack) [ ![Daniel Mathieu](https://www.datalyst.net/images/easyblog_avatar/808_808_blogauthor.png) ](https://www.datalyst.net/blog/blogger/daniel-mathieu) ## [Tip of the Week: Keep Your Computer Working Effectively with These 5 Tips](https://www.datalyst.net/blog/tip-of-the-week-keep-your-computer-working-effectively-with-these-5-tips) Wednesday, 20 April 2022 [Daniel Mathieu](https://www.datalyst.net/blog/blogger/daniel-mathieu) [Datalyst Blog](https://www.datalyst.net/blog/categories/blog) [Tip of the Week](https://www.datalyst.net/blog/categories/tip-of-the-week) [ ![Tip of the Week: Keep Your Computer Working Effectively with These 5 Tips](https://www.datalyst.net/images/easyblog_shared/April_2022/04-20-22/b2ap3_large_computer_maintenance_269355776_400.jpg) ](https://www.datalyst.net/blog/tip-of-the-week-keep-your-computer-working-effectively-with-these-5-tips "Tip of the Week: Keep Your Computer Working Effectively with These 5 Tips") Computers allow businesses to do so much, but eventually a time comes to purchase new hardware.

Ukraine produces somewhere between 45 and 54 percent of the world’s semiconductor-grade neon, something which is absolutely crucial to the creation of microchips. The invasion has put a halt to neon-refinement companies Ingas and Cryoin, and as you can imagine, this puts a massive strain on an already struggling supply chain.
