Semiconductor Manufacturing Cybersecurity Consortium (SMCC)

On the 11th of November, the day before the start of #SEMICONEUROPA, a strong representation of European semiconductor members as well as SEMI representatives met at Siemens Industry headquarters to talk about #cybersecurity in our industry and about forming a dedicated European workgroup. This workgroup will address topics such as the European Cyber Resilience Act #CRA. After initial presentations by the SMCC representatives, a lively discussion unfolded on the Cybersecurity challenges we are facing in Europe. This led to the main conclusion of our meeting: it makes a lot of sense to join forces in Europe under the umbrella of SEMI Semiconductor Manufacturing Cybersecurity Consortium (SMCC) . To follow-up on this initial meeting, we are aiming for a workshop in February at SEMI Europe HQ in Brussels and leading up to that workshop, we will form the core team and define the goals and objectives. Interested in joining WG8?? Please send an email to cybersecurity@semi.org #EUCRA #EU #cybersecurity

Thankful to our SMCC Governing council member -Kannan Perumal and SEMI Standards Director Paul Trio for participating in the “Cybersecurity and Digital Twin” Panel discussions at the workshop organized by Purdue University on Resiliency in Semiconductor Supply chains Silicon Valley Workshop on November 13,2024 at Computer History Museum. #strongertogether #smcc #semiconductorcybersecuity #semiconductor

Supply Chain Cybersecurity Assessment Questionnaire Drafted The semiconductor ecosystem is only as strong as our weakest link and many companies are collaborating for the first time to dramatically improve our resiliency to escalating attacks. The Supply Chain Cybersecurity working group (WG3) led by Eiji Hagio(TOKYO ELECTRON LIMITED ), Lori Kessler (Applied Materials ), Bill Higgs, MBA, CISSP (ASML ) has finished working on the first draft of a unified semiconductor questionnaire for companies to improve their cybersecurity posture. SEMI member companies have contributed to the question bank based on #NIST CSF2.0 and the team is currently focused on refining our assessment approach which will emulate @TISAX for the auto industry. Core team members will be asked to weigh in on the approach as well as address any topic gaps in the questionnaire to ensure adoption by the SMCC members. Our goal is to have 15 companies adopt the questionnaire by @SEMICON WEST 2025. If your company is interested in reviewing and adopting the questionnaire, please contact cybersecurity@semi.org #semiconductor #cybersecurity #strongertogether #semi

Cyber threats can be spooky but Cybersecurity doesn’t have to be! Join SMCC in our journey to secure the semiconductor industry.

Progress made towards a threat sharing model for the #semiconductor industry The Threat Sharing Working group (WG5) led by Bill Higgs, MBA, CISSP, Chet Borg and Jennifer Lynn has defined the mechanism for #threatsharing within SEMI and larger ecosystem to help combat #cybersecurity threats. WG5 has proposed 3 avenues for communications, each with stepped sensitivity levels and expected maturity level. 1. A listserv which will be open to all Semi members for non-sensitive information. 2. Utilizing the existing IT ISAC for sensitive information and middle level maturity. 3. Semiconductor Special Interest Group (SIG) for highly sensitive information and high level of maturity. Disclaimer: None of these channels will be used to share intellectual property or internal incidences. For more information, get in touch with cybersecurity@semi.org

SMCC WG4 Chair - Jennifer Lynn featured in EE Times | Electronic Engineering Times article for the work we do at SMCC. Thanks to our co-chairs Daniel Pletea and Rajesh Potturi for their support and contributions.

We are proud of our WG4 for partnering with NIST to create the profile for Semiconductor manufacturing in CSF2.0. Thanks to our chairs Jennifer Lynn , Rajesh Potturi and Daniel Pletea for leading the efforts.
