The Albany Gazette - SMX-Powered Editorial on Supply Chain Risk Picked Up by Major National Outlet

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / July 21, 2025 / A recent editorial highlighting SMX's (Security Matters) Ltd. (NASDAQ:SMX) pivotal role in securing U.S. hardware supply chains has been featured in BizPac Review, a widely read national news outlet with a strong digital presence across the country. The article, titled "The Hidden Risk in U.S. Defense Isn't the Enemy-It's the Supply Chain. SMX Can Help," explores the invisible but urgent vulnerabilities that exist not on the battlefield, but in the very materials and components that fuel America's defense infrastructure.

The piece brings into focus a truth many overlook: adversaries don't need to breach a firewall or cross a border if they can compromise the integrity of materials long before they reach assembly. Appropriately, the article identifies SMX as the solution, which offers a material-level authentication technology that tracks and verifies components at the molecular level, from origin to deployment.

This national exposure is an encouraging sign that both the media and the broader public are beginning to recognize what SMX insiders have long known: the battlefield of the future is being fought in factories, warehouses, and distribution channels-and victory depends on traceability, transparency, and trust.

We're thrilled to see the conversation expanding. For SMX, this is more than a media win. It's a validation of our mission and a signal that our work is striking the right nerve in the national interest.
