Pentesting: The Required Human Ingenuity to Uncover Security Gaps


A penetration test (or more commonly, “pentest”) is a software, infrastructure, and or network attack on your organization by a skilled attack team that probes for security weaknesses and seeks to exploit them to reach your assets. The testing team surveys the breadth of potential damage that can be done in an attack and delivers a report that helps an organization prioritize its security w... » read more

Rethinking AI-Scale Data Center Validation


The rapid growth of AI workloads is transforming AI data center networking, exposing critical limitations in traditional Ethernet validation and network testing methodologies. As data centers adopt 1.6T Ethernet, 224G SerDes and optical lanes, and tightly coupled GPU fabrics, networks must deliver ultra-high bandwidth, low latency, and predictable performance under dynamic east-west traffic con... » read more

The Unavoidable CMMC Deadline


The U.S. Department of Defense’s (DoD) Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) rollout is no longer a future concern. It is rapidly becoming a contract eligibility requirement with a fixed end date. This solution brief, drawn from Keysight’s commissioned primary research on CMMC readiness across the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), explains why the deadline is unavoidable and why or... » read more

From Silos to Systems, from Data to Insight


The semiconductor industry is experiencing unprecedented growth in complexity, scale, and data volume. Engineering organizations are managing larger and longer-running projects, integrating more diverse methodologies, and relying on an expanding ecosystem of specialized tools. At the same time, they face increasing demands for compliance, traceability, security, and data sovereignty. In this en... » read more

Secure at First Silicon: Reducing Cost and Risk


Security weaknesses related to side-channel leakage are often discovered far too late in the lifecycle of a chip. Design teams may focus on functionality, performance, and power, assuming that a robust algorithm like AES is enough to guarantee security. Only after first silicon comes back – and an expert lab starts probing power traces or EM emissions – do they realize that sensitive inform... » read more

Scale AI: Engineering the Next Leap in LPDDR6 Low-Power Memory


Scaling AI is often described as adding more GPUs and building bigger clusters, but real progress comes from system balance. As compute and throughput rise, pressure shifts to bandwidth, latency, power delivery, and thermal headroom. Memory becomes one of the earliest constraints because it sits on the critical path for feeding accelerators efficiently and consistently. In that context, JEDEC L... » read more

Electronic Warfare: Vying for Control of the Electromagnetic Spectrum


Over the past decade, preeminent countries involved in major military conflicts mainly focused on asymmetrical warfare — surprise attacks by small groups armed with modern, high-tech weaponry. During that same period, however, near-peer adversaries began attaining impressive electronic warfare (EW) capabilities. As a result, a plethora of new, dynamic threats flooded the EW spectrum, pushing ... » read more

Purpose-Built Tools for Connected Design


Modern semiconductor design is a massive, data-driven effort—often involving terabytes of files and globally distributed teams. Yet many organizations still rely on disconnected workflows and generic version control tools not designed for the scale or complexity of chip development. These fragmented systems slow innovation, reduce efficiency, and make collaboration increasingly difficult. ... » read more

The Power of Proof: Turning CMMC Compliance into Competitive Credibility


To help the U.S. Defense Industrial Base (DIB) navigate the path to Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), Keysight Technologies commissioned SIS International Research to conduct an independent, multi-phase study evaluating cybersecurity readiness among contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers. The research combines a thorough review of regulatory frameworks and market structures... » read more

The Next-Generation of Circuit Simulation in RF EDA


Radio-Frequency (RF) Electronic Design Automation (EDA) is at a turning point. Historically, engineers adapted their workflows to rigid software tools, often sacrificing flexibility and efficiency. With the rise of increasingly complex, multi-domain hardware systems, these constraints are no longer sustainable. Keysight is reimagining RF simulation as a programmatically controlled, extensible p... » read more
