February 18, 2025

NIST has released Internal Report (IR) 8532, Workshop Report on Enhancing Security of Devices and Components Across the Supply Chain, which summarizes the presentations and discussions from a recent workshop on semiconductor security. The hybrid workshop brought together experts from industry, government, and academia to explore priorities in addressing current and emerging cybersecurity threats to semiconductors.

Experts at the event provided valuable input on NIST’s efforts in developing cybersecurity and supply chain standards, guidance, and best practices. Key topics related to semiconductor development included cybersecurity measures and metrics that leverage reference data sets for the testing, attestation, certification, verification, and validation of semiconductor components across the supply chain. The workshop also highlighted the importance of automated cybersecurity tools and techniques for securing manufacturing environments throughout the development life cycle.
