How SW and HW Vulnerabilities Can Complement LLM-Specific Algorithmic Attacks (UT Austin, Intel et al.)
By Technical Paper Link - 20 Mar, 2026 - Comments: 0

A new technical paper, "Cascade: Composing Software-Hardware Attack Gadgets for Adversarial Threat Amplification in Compound AI Systems," was published by the University of Texas, Austin, Intel Labs, Symmetry Systems, Microsoft and Georgia Tech. Abstract "Rapid progress in generative AI has given rise to Compound AI systems - pipelines comprised of multiple large language models (LLM), so... » read more

Five Tips To Avoid Security Errors In Product Development
By Keysight - 07 Jan, 2026 - Comments: 0

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

AIxCC 2025: What It Means For Device Security
By Jasper van Woudenberg - 06 Nov, 2025 - Comments: 0

The DARPA-sponsored Artificial Intelligence Cyber Challenge (AIxCC) culminated at DEF CON 33 this year, marking a moment where autonomous AI systems demonstrated they can both find and patch vulnerabilities at machine speed. Over two years, teams developed Cyber Reasoning Systems (CRS) designed to scan, prove, and fix bugs in open-source programs without human aid. In the final round, seven t... » read more

Securing Silicon From the Start – Modular IP Solutions for Long-Term Resilience

Security isn’t a feature; it’s the foundation for any device that stores data, connects, or makes decisions. This eBook explores how to build more secure, future-ready products from the ground up — with modular IP, expert guidance, and end-to-end solutions proven across billions of SoCs. Key takeaways: Design with security from the ground up. Don’t rely on patches — embed prot... » read more

Devising Security Solutions For Hardware Threats
By Adam Kovac - 25 Sep, 2024 - Comments: 0

Experts At The Table: Hardware security has evolved considerably in recent years, but getting products to market is a challenge in an environment where threats are always evolving and rarely predictable. That’s especially true given the sheer volume and variety of products being introduced. Semiconductor Engineering sat down with a panel of experts at the Design Automation Conference in San F... » read more

Hardware Security Set To Grow Quickly
By Adam Kovac - 22 Aug, 2024 - Comments: 0

Experts At The Table: The hardware security ecosystem is young and relatively small but could see a major boom in the coming years. As companies begin to acknowledge how vulnerable their hardware is, industry standards are being set, but must leave room for engineers to experiment. As part of an effort to determine the best way forward, Semiconductor Engineering sat down with a panel of experts... » read more

Chip Security Now Depends On Widening Supply Chain
By Ann Mutschler - 01 Aug, 2024 - Comments: 0

Securing chips is becoming more challenging as SoCs are disaggregated into chiplets, creating new vulnerabilities that involve hardware and software, as well as multiple entities, and extending threats across a much broader supply chain. In the past, much of the cyber threat model was confined to either hardware or software, and where multiple vendors were involved, various chips were separa... » read more

Defining Chip Threat Models To Identify Security Risks
By Adam Kovac - 01 Aug, 2024 - Comments: 0

Experts At The Table: As hardware weaknesses have become a major target for attackers, the race to find new ways to strengthen chip security has begun to heat up. But one-size does not fit all solution. To figure out what measures need to be taken, a proper threat model must be assessed. Semiconductor Engineering sat down with a panel of experts at the Design Automation Conference in San Franci... » read more

Security Focus Widens To HW, SW, Ecosystems
By Ann Mutschler - 02 Jul, 2024 - Comments: 0

Hardware security strategies are pushing much further left in the chip design flow as the number of vulnerabilities in complex designs and connected devices continues to grow, taking into account potential vulnerabilities in both hardware and software, as well as the integrity of an extended global supply chain. These approaches leverage the speed of fixing problems in software, and the effe... » read more

How To Build A Rock-Solid Software Security Initiative
By Synopsys - 01 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

Application security testing is the starting block, not the finish line. While a critical component of every security program, the “penetrate and patch” approach is not a strategy. You need a complete program to lower risk exposure, measure progress, and demonstrate results. The most effective AppSec programs—or software security initiatives—are fine-tuned to their respective organiz... » read more
