Arteris announced that it had completed the previously announced acquisition of Cycuity, Inc., a leading provider and domain expert of semiconductor cybersecurity assurance technology. The acquisition puts Arteris in a position to handle the growing hardware security challenge by fusing innovative system IP from Arteris with advanced silicon hardware security assurance technology from Cycuity.
Since the threat landscape has expanded to the hardware layer, semiconductor cybersecurity assurance is becoming essential for all kinds of chip designs. The expansion of AI and chiplets contributed to the trend of compromised systems exposing unprotected information due to silicon vulnerabilities.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) of the US Department of Commerce reports that within the past five years, the number of reported new Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) in hardware has increased by more than fifteen times.
Technology solutions that help improve semiconductor security without endangering SoC functionality, performance, and schedules are therefore becoming more and more necessary.
