End-to-End Microelectronics Security Solutions

Achilles protects microelectronic devices from malicious inclusions and cyber vulnerabilities. It reveals exposures in the semiconductor design-and-implementation supply chain that elude conventional detection techniques. It characterizes what can go wrong, where it can go wrong, and how it can go wrong, using a patented approach that dramatically extends the visibility of the attack surface. Our end-to-end, single-platform solution is predictive and future-proof.

Achilles was built with support from a Navy Small Business Innovation and Research (SBIR) grant. It identifies attack targets that are invisible to formal methods. It enables designers to characterize and harden devices, and instrument them for in-field surveillance. It uses machine learning to detect anomalous behavior, and is a comprehensive, full life-cycle, solution for semiconductor cyber resilience.

Our team consists of security and semiconductor experts who have deep experience in the development of innovative security products and automated design solutions for the global semiconductor industry. We have backgrounds in hardware security, semiconductor testing, software engineering, and design-flow integration. Achilles is the industry’s only security solution that addresses threats from design concept to device disposal.

How We Approach
Chip Security

Security Analysis During Chip Design

Uncover semiconductor device vulnerabilities through better threat surface illumination. Protect designs against malicious attacks and intrusions. Create chips that are secure by design by exposing potential weaknesses and incorporating mitigation early in the process.

Detect and Identify In-Field Anomalies

Continuous in-field anomaly detection and identification, through ongoing cyberhealth monitoring from device installation to decommissioning. Detect manipulations and enable swift exposure of, and response to, identified anomalies.

Characterize Vulnerabilities During System Development

Comprehensive analysis of attack behaviors and impact severity. Development and optimization of in-field attack recognition models for real-time mitigation. Guided instrumentation insertion: what to look for, and where to look for it.
