TAIPEI, Sept. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — In helping the semiconductor trade to enhance cybersecurity resilience, the Administration for Digital Industries, Ministry of Digital Affairs (hereinafter known as “adi”) is collaborating with SEMI, semiconductor trade associations and trade companies to carry a “Semiconductor Equipment Cybersecurity Promotion Conference” on Sep 14th at SEMICON Taiwan 2022. Guests embody Ms. Jo-ann Su, Senior Director of SEMI, Mr. Leon Chang, member of SEMI Taiwan Cybersecurity Committee, Mr. Sterling Lin, Chairman of TEEIA (Taiwan Electronic Equipment Industry Association), Mr. Charles Li, Executive Director of TPSA (Taiwan Panel & Solution Association) and semiconductor tools producers as Gallant Precision Machining (GPM), Marketech International Corp. (MIC), Contrel Technology Co., Ltd. and Mirle Automation Corporation which have already begun implementation of SEMI E187, the Specification for Cybersecurity of Fab Equipment. All individuals acknowledge and help this normal.
Mr. Jang-Hwa Leu, Director General of adi, said in his speech that the authorities has mixed efforts of the trade, authorities, and academia to collectively promote the Specification for Cybersecurity of Fab Equipment, SEMI E187. Launched in January of 2022, promotion from 4 main scopes is underway, which are Operating System, Network Security, Endpoint Protection and Security Monitoring. The institution of sensible pointers will proceed, remodeling cybersecurity requirements into case research, and helping producers to grasp the context of the requirements. Taiwan’s pivotal place in the semiconductor trade might be utilized to drive provide chain safety and introduction of cybersecurity into the PCB (printed circuit boards) and digital parts trade. At the identical time, the Made-in-Taiwan Cybersecurity Solution might be promoted to speed up implementation as a regular and for the development of the cybersecurity trade.
Taiwan’s semiconductor trade performs an vital function in international provide chains. As producers have been requested by worldwide gamers for extra lively roles in cybersecurity, the introduction of SEMI E187 has attracted consideration from semiconductor producers, tools suppliers and cybersecurity options suppliers. Thus, adi has arrange a “SECPAAS Cybersecurity Pavilion” at SEMICON Taiwan, converging 18 native corporations with R&D capabilities to show their options, and through group gatherings, promote cybersecurity options that adjust to SEMI E187, enhancing provide chain safety and acquiring orders from worldwide gamers.
Semiconductor tools is the preliminary gateway to high-tech manufacturing. As provide chain safety has change into an vital international matter, the launch of SEMI E187 Cybersecurity Standard is the first step to constructing a dependable provide chain ecosystem, offering tools producers with pointers to observe and for the demand facet to determine clear and exact cybersecurity necessities when making procurements. Leu, Director General of adi, highlighted that “R.I.S.E.” are the core areas of adi’s providers, standing for Resilience, Integration, Security and Empowerment. In the future, adi will proceed to work with SEMI, semiconductor producers, tools suppliers and cybersecurity resolution suppliers to help gamers to implement worldwide requirements and promote certification mechanisms, attaining a win-win state of affairs between the semiconductor and cybersecurity industries, making Taiwan’s semiconductor corporations the reliable companions in worldwide provide chains.
