Building a Safer, More Connected Semiconductor Ecosystem
Speaker: Alan Weber, VP New Product Innovation, PDF Solutions
Abstract:
This presentation addresses critical cybersecurity challenges in semiconductor manufacturing by outlining current industry standards (SEMI E187, E188, E191) and their implementation through SMCC workgroups. It identifies key gaps in existing frameworks—particularly the inadequacy of current equipment connectivity standards for distributed collaboration and the scalability challenge of custom supplier-factory connections. The solution proposes a globally secure remote connectivity framework leveraging existing technologies (IPSec, VPN, TLS, SAML 2.0) through a private, double-encrypted backbone network. This architecture replaces traditional inbound VPN connections with a centralized, multi-tenant platform featuring Zero Trust Architecture, role-based access control, and full auditability. The framework enables secure file transfers, remote tool operation, and streamlined OEM-factory collaboration while reducing attack surfaces and total cost of ownership. The secureWISE solution accelerates time to repair, improves yield-learning cycles, and provides factories with a single secure connection to multiple suppliers—eliminating the complexity of managing dozens of independent links while maintaining compliance with SEMI cybersecurity standards.
