Hardware security vulnerabilities have greatly expanded the attack surface beyond traditional software exploits, making hardware security assurance crucial in modern system-on-chip (SoC) designs. Chip interconnect specialist Arteris’ acquisition of semiconductor cybersecurity assurance supplier Cycuity is the latest reminder of how hardware security is becoming an inflection point in SoC design.
Arteris delivers data-movement IP hardware and IP block integration software to connect on-chip components and chiplets. On the other hand, Cycuity ensures the security of these semiconductor design building blocks and their interactions. Charles Janac, president and CEO of Arteris, claims that Cycuity’s technology and expertise will add to Arteris’ product portfolio, enabling chip designers to better understand and improve data movement security in chiplets and SoCs.
