Lattice provides you with safer solutions

Living in the digital age, we see more and more devices and systems integrated into every aspect of our lives, and new security challenges emerge, exposing the weaknesses of systems and applications. It is critical for security architects, engineers, project managers, and business managers to keep up with the latest regulations and requirements in order to design compliant solutions.

To this end, Lattice security experts recently discussed the key points related to security at the 2023 Lattice Developer Conference. Security is one of the key themes of the entire event, which includes keynote speeches, panel discussions, breakout sessions and technical demonstrations. In particular, data center security, cyber resilience, cloud computing and PQC were the main security topics discussed throughout the event.

Key sessions you might want to watch

Across multiple topics and discussions, key points related to the latest security trends and approaches are as follows:

1. A practical and informative keynote from Meta details how they are addressing the operational challenges of next-generation data centers with a layered FPGA-based security approach.

2. A diverse security panel discussion provides a comprehensive overview of today's hottest security issues and creative solutions from Lattice and its partners.

3. Technology demo exploring how Lattice can help enterprises strengthen their security measures.

Today's security landscape is changing

In an era of unprecedented digital development, preventing potential threats is crucial. As we transition from a centralized model to a distributed, collaborative environment, the attack surface continues to grow, connections soar, artificial intelligence is introduced, and post-quantum computing threats emerge, today’s security landscape is complex. There is no doubt that as adversaries acquire new tools, they become smarter.

Provide you with safer solutions

With the security landscape changing rapidly, developers are eager to protect existing systems deployed and those currently under development. Ultimately, the answer lies in cryptographic agility —the ability to upgrade systems on the fly—along with hardware roots of trust (RoT) and zero trust models .

Lattice helps partners achieve network resilience and build safe and reliable applications by integrating key solutions such as RoT and zero trust. To this end, we are adding more intelligence and security measures to the network edge, enhancing adaptability and connectivity, and implementing PQC security algorithms to help partners overcome challenges and achieve stronger security. In a keynote address by Meta security architect Indranil Banerjee, Banerjee talked about the real-world challenges Meta faces in scaling custom chip solutions for its server RoT. However, by implementing a zero-trust infrastructure—leveraging Lattice FPGA technology—Meta was able to achieve the required security in its cloud data center.

As more network edge applications use AI algorithms to process data, FPGA solutions such as the Lattice Avant™ FPGA platform can provide resilient security by using advanced encryption algorithms on top of hardware security engines. Not only does this hardware protect all IP programmed into the FPGA, it can also be used to dynamically encrypt and decrypt data as it travels between devices.

Build a secure future with Lattice

This is an incredibly exciting time for FPGA technology, and even more so for developers. As environments rapidly evolve, the low power, high performance and flexible capabilities of Lattice FPGAs are key to building enhanced, more resilient security measures. As security threats continue to grow and evolve in the years to come, Lattice can be your key partner in preparing for and overcoming future challenges.
