SEMI SMCC's global reach extends all over the world and enables our members to connect and collaborate on specific issues and challenges affecting different regions. We focus on important key topics and seek to find solutions that will benefit the entire industry.
Addressing cybersecurity risks in a collaborative, pre-competitive engineering environment
The incidence of cyber threats is surging at an alarming rate year over year, leading to a continuous escalation of cybersecurity risks and their consequential impacts, all while implementation of solutions lag behind
Objectives
- Establish a broad methodology for cybersecurity for manufacturing that incorporates lessons learned and embraces open collaboration
- Develop and promote a standards-based, semiconductor industry-specific framework to improve cybersecurity and accelerate implementation of actionable solutions for the entire supply chain
- Incorporate best practices from industries such as automotive and medical with the aim to modernize factory security protocols
What members are saying
As a developer of equipment automation and factory connectivity software, we thoroughly understand the complex challenges in cybersecurity and the evolving threat of cyberattacks. In addition to development of policies, adoption of standards, and implementation of best practices, protecting and securing our supply chain from cyber threats requires collaboration from all levels of our industry. Active participation and consensus building through the SEMI Cybersecurity Consortium is the ideal avenue to achieve this.
Let us work together to enhance global supply chain security by influencing our own suppliers and partnering with SEMI
The SMCC is a great collaboration initiative for the Semiconductor Industry, with now 60+ companies participating . The consortium allows members to manage their security risks better and take shortcuts in developing the required effective mitigation. In a trusted environment, companies can 1) exchange security threats and vulnerabilities 2) update each other on the developments in risk scenarios, and insights and 3) how to counter these with best practices and tools/collateral to mitigate the risk related to Intellectual Property and the continuity of Semiconductor Manufacturing Operations.
