Semtech Corporation a high-performance semiconductor, IoT systems and Cloud connectivity service provider, proudly introduces its latest advancement in product security with the creation of the Semtech Product Security Scorecards. These Scorecards empower Semtech product and development teams to fortify their security and provide a simplified product security score.

Semtech’s Commitment to IoT Cybersecurity

In today’s interconnected world, the Internet of Things (IoT) is ubiquitous. With this growth comes increasing exposure to security threats and exploitation attempts by malicious actors, threatening customers ranging from critical infrastructure operators to residential consumers who rely on IoT devices for safety and communications. The U.S. government’s recent Executive Order (EO), “Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity,” responds to these risks in part by introducing cybersecurity labeling for consumer IoT products, offering vendors a clear and universal way to inform purchasers of their products of the security features and capabilities present in those products, as well as a living mechanism to quickly access information about any vulnerabilities affecting those products. By making security information more accessible to consumers, this program will lead to more informed consumer IoT purchasing decisions and improved security across a landscape we increasingly share.
