Podcast EP303: How Lattice Semiconductor is Addressing Security Threats From the Ground Up with Mamta Gupta
Dan is joined by Mamta Gupta, She leads the Security Product Marketing, Datacenter and the Communications Segment Marketing Teams at Lattice. She brings with her over 20 years of FPGA experience in product development with special focus on security, aerospace and defense segments.
Dan explores the growing area of cybersecurity with a focus on silicon-level security with Mamta. She describes the importance of silicon-level security to ensure devices, software and the systems they implement are not compromised in manufacturing or in the field. She explains that attacks can take the form of direct assault on a system but can also be accomplished by corrupting the training data used in AI algorithms and insertion of weaknesses during manufacturing.
She explains how the FPGA technology from Lattice is creating the ability to design for security from the ground up in a proactive way. She describes the move from “bolt on” to “built in” for systems by using Lattice FPGAs. She also discusses how to deal with post quantum security and how nation states are now becoming more involved in this area as a matter of national security.
