The Cloud Security Industry Summit (CSIS) is a group of cloud service providers working towards industry alignment on best-of-breed security solutions. In a whitepaper jointly authored with the Open Compute Project (OCP), CSIS said, “Firmware represents a significant threat vector for computer systems, appliances, and associated infrastructure. If the first code that executes on a device when it powers on were to become compromised, then the entire system can and should no longer be trusted as secure. Firmware can be compromised through malicious attacks or unintentionally.”1
“Staying on top of evolving cybersecurity threats is a constant struggle for most organizations. To help them keep pace, Lattice is committed to the ongoing improvement of the security, performance, and ease-of-use capabilities of our Sentry stack,” said Eric Sivertson, Vice President of Security Business, Lattice Semiconductor. “Lattice is a long-time leader in server control solutions, and Lattice control PLDs are the first-on/last-off component in many servers currently in service. With the Sentry stack, developers can easily add support for strong firmware security to system control applications based on Lattice secure control PLDs, creating an ideal platform to establish a HRoT to validate the legitimacy of all firmware instances in a system.”
Key features for Sentry 2.0 include:
- Heightened security – The Sentry solutions stack supports the Lattice Mach™-NX secure control FPGA and a secure enclave IP block that enable 384-bit cryptography (ECC-256/384 and HMAC-SHA-384) to better secure Sentry-protected firmware against unauthorized access. Support for 384-bit crypto is a requirement for many next-generation server platforms.
- 4x faster pre-boot authentication – Sentry 2.0 supports faster ECDSA (40 ms), SHA (up to 70 Mbps), and QSPI performance (64 MHz). These features enable Sentry 2.0 to deliver faster boot times that help minimize system down time and reduce exposure to attempted attacks on firmware during the boot process.
- Ability to monitor up to five firmware images in real-time – To further extend the PFR-compliant HRoT enabled by Lattice Sentry, the stack is capable of real-time monitoring of up to five mainboard components in a system at boot and during ongoing operation. Competing MCU-based security solutions, as an example, lack the processing performance to properly monitor that many components in real-time.

More than Half of Consumers are Comfortable with AI Agents Applying for Credit, Experian Research Finds16.9.2026 11:00:00 EEST | Press release
Consumers are ready to take the next step in their relationship with artificial intelligence (AI), according to AI in Risk: The Rise of Agentic Commerce, new research from data and technology company, Experian, conducted by Forrester Consulting. The study of 6,247 credit-active consumers across 13 EMEA and Asia Pacific markets, found that more than half (54%) of respondents are comfortable with AI agents applying for credit on their behalf. The findings point to the next stage in the evolution of financial services, where consumers are becoming comfortable allowing AI to move beyond providing information to supporting parts of the lending journey, including comparing lenders, checking eligibility, completing applications and securely submitting authorised documents. "Consumers are already changing the way they engage with financial services," said Mariana Pinheiro, Chief Executive Officer, Experian EMEA & Asia Pacific. "They are not just experimenting with AI anymore; they are beginnin

International Expansion Far Outweighs M&A as a Legal and Compliance Execution Burden, CSC Research Finds16.9.2026 09:49:00 EEST | Press release
International expansion is creating a far heavier legal and compliance execution burden than M&A itself, with nearly three quarters (74%) of senior cross-border professionals citing market entry or international expansion as a leading burden, compared with just 28% for M&A transactions, according to new research from CSC, the leading provider of global business administration and compliance solutions. The challenge extends well beyond deal execution. Ongoing entity governance and compliance is cited by 71% of respondents, highlighting the operational burden of establishing and maintaining a presence across multiple jurisdictions. CSC’s new report, The Cross-Border Readiness Gap: Navigating the Legal and Compliance Burden of International Expansion, draws on the views of 200 senior professionals globally with direct experience of cross-border transactions, expansion, restructuring, and entity or compliance work. Fragmented entity and ownership information is a major source of that compl
