Semiconductor designers today face a critical hurdle: how to smoothly transition from an open-source hardware blueprint to a commercially hardened, production-ready silicon implementation. As semiconductors play an increasingly essential role in powering the AI era, safeguarding these hardware foundations has become… Read More
It has been a busy year for sure. In 2026, artificial intelligence agents conducting cybersecurity tests crossed into real computer systems. The incidents had different causes and impacts. Some agents exploited flaws to escape isolation; others had unintended internet access and mistook real organizations for simulated … Read More
Hardwear.io Netherlands 2026, expected in November, is one event you shouldn’t miss if hardware security is your thing. It’s where researchers, engineers, and hackers come together to take devices apart, dig into firmware, test real-world attack paths, and swap ideas with people who truly get the work.
With hands-on trainings,… Read More

The ESD Alliance is delighted… Read More
This webinar will present a multi-agent intelligent assistant system architected to automate and augment SoC design and security verification.
Designing functionally correct, high-performance, and provably secure system-on-chips (SoCs) has become a strategic imperative for modern computing infrastructure. Yet traditional… Read More
In November 2026, escar Europe celebrates 24 years of excellence in automotive cyber security. Since its launch in Germany in 2003, escar has grown into one of the world’s leading automotive cyber security conferences
The 35th USENIX Security Symposium will take place on August 12–14, 2026, at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront in Baltimore, MD, USA. The USENIX Security Symposium brings together researchers, practitioners, system programmers, and others interested in the latest advances in the security and privacy of computer systems… Read More
Tell us a little bit about yourself and your company.
I have worked in the global semiconductor industry for over 30 years, with major semiconductor companies such as Rambus, AMD and Broadcom, as well as with start-ups such as SCI Semiconductor and DataTrails. I started my career as a digital circuit designer, then moved into marketing,… Read More
Hardware-level chip security has become an important topic across the semiconductor ecosystem. Thanks to sophisticated AI-fueled attacks, the hardware root of trust and its firmware are now vulnerable. And unlike software security, an instantiated weakness cannot be patched. The implications of such vulnerabilities are… Read More
Just got an opportunity to write a blog on PQShield, and I’m delighted for several reasons. Happy to work with a company based in Oxford and happy to work on a quantum computing-related topic, which you’ll find I will be getting into more deeply over coming months. (Need a little relief from a constant stream of AI topics.) Also important,… Read More
