Building and maintaining connected digital ecosystems that account for today’s evolving cyber threat landscape requires a degree of hardware-based trust, as software-only security approaches are no longer sufficient to protect complex, distributed systems Luckily, today’s developers can reference a foundational example of hardware-based security that has existed for decades: the Trusted Platform Module (TPM). With over four billion TPM units deployed globally across a wide range of u...

Servers are the backbone of modern computing infrastructure. They host sensitive data, AI models, and core workloads – making them prime targets for increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. As server architectures become more modular and disaggregated, integrating various CPUs, NICs, accelerators, SCM modules, and more, and as organizations rely more heavily on these distributed systems, the complexity of securing these systems grows exponentially. Recent attacks – such as those e...

Recent advancements in quantum computing have made post-quantum cryptography (PQC) more necessary than ever before. There is an immediate need for developers across industries to strengthen their computing ecosystem against the heightened risk and uncertain capabilities of quantum-enabled attacks. The challenge? There’s not yet a standard, comprehensive model for ensuring post-quantum security. Traditionally, developers have been able to create standards and best practices in response to ...

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...
