In cybersecurity, 'mold' does not have a direct technical meaning. However, in general manufacturing and technology contexts, a mold is a shaped form or cavity used to give another material - such as plastic, metal, or resin - its final shape during production. Molds are essential in hardware manufacturing, where precise shapes are needed for components like circuit boards and device casings. The integrity and security of the molding process can be relevant in cybersecurity when considering hardware supply chain risks, as compromised molds could introduce vulnerabilities or hidden features in physical devices.
