Data powers nearly every facet of today’s world, and the volume of data being generated, processed, shared, or otherwise handled increases with every passing year. It is estimated that 90% of the world’s data was created in the last two years alone and over 80% of organizations expect to be managing zettabytes of data in 2025, with 147 zettabytes of data having been generated in 2024 alone. For perspective, if a grain of rice was a byte, a zettabyte of rice could cover the entire sur...

As with many types of devices, it’s easy to fall into the trap that bigger chips are better and more impactful than smaller semiconductor devices. In the case of FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) however, it’s often the smaller versions that have the largest range of applications and the most influence. Small FPGAs are used across a huge range of devices, applications, and industries because they reliably perform critical functions that are essential to the speedy operation of m...

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technology, the shift from cloud-centric to edge-centric innovation is reshaping how data is processed and utilized. This transition is driven by the increasing need for AI at the Edge, sensor to cloud connectivity, and resilient security. FPGAs are leading the way in this transformation, offering unparalleled flexibility and performance. These versatile devices are being integrated into a wide range of applications, from datacenters to edge devices, enablin...

The telecommunications industry is undergoing a significant transformation with the adoption of Open Radio Access Network (ORAN) architecture. This innovative approach to network design promotes disaggregation and interoperability, allowing components from different vendors to work together seamlessly. As 5G networks continue to expand and evolve to support diverse use cases — from non-terrestrial networks (5G-NTN) to connected vehicles (5G C-V2X), railways (5G FRMCS), and industrial appli...

The rise of AI systems and advancing quantum computing capabilities are fundamentally reshaping the security landscape for modern organizations. While these technologies bring unprecedented capabilities, they also introduce complex security vulnerabilities that traditional cyber defense approaches struggle to address. Organizations must now position themselves to meet rising security needs, while maintaining the flexibility to address current and future threats. Recent regulatory guidelines unde...

As global interconnectivity and dependence on digital technologies increase, so does the prevalence of cybercrime. In fact, 2023 witnessed a 72% rise in data breaches compared to 2021, which previously held the record, according to Forbes. As cyber threats become more sophisticated and frequent, organizations must adopt proactive approaches to safeguard their systems, data, and operations. One of the proactive approaches includes implementing cyber resilience—the ability to withstand attac...

The rapid digitalization of enterprise environments, coupled with a surge in sophisticated cyber threats, evolving security regulations, and the rise of quantum computing technology, has created a perfect storm in the cybersecurity landscape that demands heightened levels of agility and resiliency. To combat this, organizations must remain proactive in their approach to cyber defense and compliance. In the latest Lattice Security Seminar, Lattice security experts sat down with partners from AMI ...

On August 13, 2024, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) released the eagerly awaited Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) standards. These standards introduce three new encryption algorithms designed to secure systems against both classical and future quantum computer attacks, providing a necessary evolution from RSA and ECC asymmetric encryption algorithms. In this blog, we outline the impact of these standards and the essential steps for system designers to transition to PQ...
