Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) play an important role in a multitude of today’s technology. From aerospace and defense to consumer electronics to critical infrastructure and the automotive industry, the prevalence of FPGAs in our lives is growing. Also growing are the threats to those FPGAs. The resources spent to create the IP (Intellectual Property) that runs (firmware) inside FPGAs are vast, as is the technology protected by these FPGAs. This makes FPGAs a potential target for ...

The cyberthreat landscape is reaching unprecedented levels, underscoring the need for resilient security strategies across all sectors. Forbes has reported a shocking 72% increase in data breaches year-over-year since 2021. With the average data breach inflicting a staggering $4.45 million loss on an organization, it’s clear that cyber resilience is not just important but essential for the survival and health of any enterprise in today’s digital age. However, building that resilienc...

Living in a digital era where we continue to see a rapidly expanding number of devices and systems integrating into every aspect of our lives, new security challenges are emerging and exposing system and application weaknesses. It is crucial for security architects, engineers, program managers, and business managers to keep pace with the latest regulations and requirements to design compliant solutions. To support this, Lattice security experts recently sat down to discuss the security-related h...

Cyberthreats are accelerating amidst the rise of enterprise digital transformation. In order to keep pace with increased attacks, the cybersecurity market is evolving its standards and protocols to ensure protection in this new digitalized world. Each October, Lattice recognizes Cybersecurity Awareness Month by hosting critical discussions on the cyber threat landscape. In our latest LinkedIn Live panel discussion, the Lattice team sat down to discuss the cybersecurity market evolution and the ...

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, the importance of cyber resilience cannot be overstated. The rise of modern technology – including automation, machine learning (ML), 5G, and artificial intelligence (AI) – has provided us with a host of benefits and advancements, but it has also opened doors for increased vulnerability to cyberattacks. In fact, nearly 75% of organizations have experienced a cyberattack in the past year and, even further, the global average cost o...

There’s a complex regulatory storm on the horizon as nation-states and industry leaders announce a slew of new cybersecurity requirements. Primarily driven by three key trends: Growing vulnerability in firmware, an expanding attack surface due to 5G connectivity, and the arrival of post-quantum cryptography (PQC) – these incoming regulations will deeply impact developers. Lattice hosted its quarterly security seminar with Secure-IC and Xiphera to discuss incoming security requirement...

A new era of innovation is on the horizon amid the rise of quantum computing. This emerging technology harnesses the laws of quantum mechanics by fusing aspects of computer science, physics, and mathematics to rapidly solve problems too complex for classical computing. Google, for example, has already developed a quantum computer that operates 158 million times faster than the world’s most powerful existing supercomputer. The convergence of quantum computing with artificial intelligence (A...

The past decade has brought about some incredible innovations to the industrial technology sector. From artificial intelligence and cloud computing to the Internet of Things (IoT) and 3D printing, these advancements are all part of Industry 4.0 – the fourth industrial revolution that focuses heavily on interconnectivity, automation, and real-time data. Due to this increased interconnectedness, particularly between sectors like technology and manufacturing, Industry 4.0 has also had a mass...

Organizations face more cyberattacks today than ever before as cyber criminals and bad actors develop new ways to attack systems with each new software and hardware device deployed. In fact, a 2021 Cyber Resilient Organization Study found that 61% of respondents were forced to pay the ransom in a ransomware attack. This metric underscores the fact that being cybersecure is no longer enough, companies today must also be cyber resilient so they can quickly respond to and recover from attacks as th...

Ahead of National Cybersecurity Awareness month in October, Lattice held its latest security seminar focusing on the evolving security landscape of 5G networks and ORAN. If you missed the live event, you can watch a recording of the “Reimagining Telecom Security Solutions for 5G Networks & ORAN with FPGAs” seminar here, or read on to explore some of the highlights. Centralized network security models of the past are becoming increasingly vulnerable as the rollout of 5G and ORAN c...

The world has become in many ways more fragile, and a quick look into recent Supply Chain issues highlights this very well. The global growth of interdependencies and complexities of enterprises has introduced fragility into many cyber-systems. Cybersecurity has been top of mind for years across all markets and industries, but we’ve reached an inflection point. Cyberattacks have continued to grow in velocity and veracity as bad actors find new invasive ways to penetrate systems and take ad...

Our latest Lattice Security Seminar focused on cybersecurity implementations and topics in Industrial settings, titled “Industrial Cyber Security Trends and Standards in FPGAs”. We were joined by our wonderful partners Perseus Information Security Consulting and Dekra Labs. If you missed the live event, you can watch a recording of the seminar here, or read on to explore some of the highlights. The “Industry 4.0” era represents the merger between the IT and the OT worlds...

In a virtual seminar on cyber security trends and standards in automotive FPGAs, Lattice Semiconductor highlighted how OEMs can keep Lattice FPGAs used in automotive applications secured against cyber attack as they move through the global supply chain.
