The True Cost Of CMMC Non-Compliance


If you’re in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), you’ve probably felt the shift: cybersecurity has moved from a contractual footnote to a deciding factor in who gets to compete. The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is the clearest signal yet that the Department of Defense (DoD) is moving away from “trust us” security and toward verified compliance. And in the face of ... » 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

Five Tips To Avoid Security Errors In Product Development


Riscure, now part of Keysight, has been helping chip vendors and device manufacturers improve the security of their products for years. The security scenario has changed a lot over time. The attacker profile evolved from individuals motivated by curiosity, with very limited resources and attack potential, to well-funded and organized adversaries with malicious motivations and the capacity to ex... » read more

Zero-Trust Data Sharing Architectures Redefining Chip Manufacturing


Real-time security clearances are becoming increasingly common in the manufacturing of advanced-node semiconductors, where data sharing is both essential and a potential security threat. Data security is a well-known issue in semiconductor manufacturing, but much of it is based on an outdated approach. In its place, zero-trust architectures [1] are now a requirement for new equipment and ins... » read more

What The EU Cyber Resilience Act Means For Digital Product Makers


The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is set to become a defining regulation for all manufacturers and developers of digital products that touch the EU market. It introduces strict requirements for cybersecurity practices, risk management, and compliance procedures, affecting a wide range of stakeholders from software developers to hardware vendors. This article unpacks what the CRA is, who it af... » read more

SRAM PUF: A Revolutionary Approach to Cryptographic Key Protection


Cryptographic keys are the cornerstone of secure digital systems, enabling encryption, authentication, and data integrity. However, securely storing these keys on-chip presents significant challenges. Traditional methods, such as storing keys in one-time programmable, non-volatile memory, are vulnerable to physical attacks, environmental variations, and lifecycle management issues. Physical Unc... » read more
