Protecting Innovation: How Semiconductor Companies Secure IP and Collaborate Safely with External Partners

Semiconductor innovation now depends on global collaboration, not single-company efforts. Every phase – from design to production – involves third-party vendors, foundries, research institutes, and OEMs. This cooperative environment drives rapid progress but also creates major risks when sensitive assets, like circuit diagrams and proprietary files, must be shared beyond secure company boundaries. For semiconductor companies, protecting intellectual property (IP) and maintaining regulatory compliance isn’t just a priority, but an existential need. The problem...

The manufacturing industry is at a defining moment. Global competition, evolving supply chains, and regulatory pressures are forcing organizations to innovate faster than ever. At the same time, emerging technologies like generative AI and large language models (LLMs) hold enormous promise for accelerating design cycles, reducing inefficiencies, and empowering teams to build smarter, faster, and better. But innovation comes with risk. Intellectual property (IP) — the designs, formulas, and trade secrets that fuel competitive...

Organizations rely on file sharing to collaborate with employees, partners, and customers. But without proper protection, once a file leaves your network – through email, cloud storage, or messaging apps – control is lost. You don’t know who opens it, where it goes, or how it’s used. A contract forwarded to the wrong inbox, design documents shared via public cloud, or financial data sent without restrictions can all lead to compliance violations, reputational damage,...

Every organization is dealing with a massive amount of data, scattered across endpoints, servers, cloud apps, and collaboration platforms. The problem? Most of it is shadow data. Security teams often lack knowledge about which sensitive information they have, where it’s stored, or who has access to it. This lack of visibility creates a perfect storm: compliance gaps, insider risks, and slower responses to breaches. To protect sensitive data, the first step is always the...

Data protection often focuses on files, networks, or the cloud. But what about the moment information is displayed on screen? That’s when secrets can be photographed, copied, or recorded – sometimes without leaving a trace. From a quick smartphone snapshot in a coffee shop to a hidden screen-recording app on a laptop, screens are one of the easiest ways for sensitive data to leak. And unlike firewalls or file encryption, once information is visible,...

AI is only as powerful as the data that fuels it. While new algorithms grab the spotlight, the biggest challenge most organizations face isn’t technical; it’s the messy, unstructured information that drives these systems. Without trusted, well-governed data, even the most advanced AI can misfire, producing biased results, compliance headaches, or even dangerous leaks. Why Data Becomes the Bottleneck Many companies rush to innovate with AI only to find that their enterprise information...

In the semiconductor industry, the smallest design detail can mean the difference between leading the market and falling years behind. Recently, a high-profile breach shook the sector when sensitive process data for an advanced chip node was stolen from within the company. According to The Wall Street Journal and the Financial Times, those involved captured over a thousand images that hold confidential manufacturing processes and shared them with outside parties. The case has been...

So, What Is Generative AI? Generative AI (GenAI) is a branch of artificial intelligence that can create new content like text, images, audio, or even video, by learning from existing data. Unlike traditional AI, which only analyzes or predicts outcomes, GenAI can generate original content that feels human-made. From writing marketing copy and designing graphics to accelerating research and development, GenAI is showing up everywhere. Tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and DALL·E are just the...

When an enterprise Digital Rights Management (DRM) provider announces an end-of-support (EOS) or discontinues its service, organizations face a critical decision point: how to maintain data security without disrupting daily operations or exposing sensitive data. For many businesses, advanced data security solutions, such as DRM, play a vital role in securing intellectual property, controlling document access, and ensuring compliance. But when your DRM solution is no longer supported, patching together temporary fixes or delaying...

Security used to have borders, but the way we work has changed, and so have the risks. Files move beyond internal networks to endpoints, cloud platforms, and teams across the globe. This mobility boosts productivity but also increases risk exposure. Legacy Digital Rights Management (DRM) tools are tied to specific systems and fail to coordinate across platforms. The lack of integration between multiple Enterprise DRM (EDRM) solutions and incompatibility may raise concerns about security...
