Intellectual property (IP) in semiconductor design refers to reusable design components that can be integrated into a larger chipan IC, SoC, or chiplet. These design blocks may be developed in-house or licensed from third-party vendors and are used in system-on-chip (SoC) design and production. With growing SoC complexity, increased market demand, and the rapid pace of innovation, adopting an IP-centric design approach is critical for staying competitive.

Common Vulnerability and Exposures (CVE) collects known cybersecurity vulnerabilities and exposures to help you to better safeguard your embedded software. This framework is central to managing security threats effectively. Here, we explain what is CVE, unpack the role of CVE identifiers, examine the differences of CVE vs. CWE, expand on the CVE list, and outline how identifying vulnerabilities early in software development can be achieved with the right static analysis tools.

Right now, the insurance industry faces an urgent cybersecurity threat: Scattered Spider. The financially motivated hacking group has rapidly shifted its focus after preying on retail companies in the U.K. and U.S. Now, it is targeting insurance companies. The danger is clear. Insurance firms manage exactly what cybercriminals want: vast amounts of sensitive customer data.

The longstanding Common Vulnerability and Exposure (CVE) database has vitally guided security teams for over 20 years, connecting cybersecurity experts, developers, vendors, and researchers in their shared ability to track unknown vulnerabilities in software. But in April of 2025, the MITRE CVE database program was in jeopardy. U.S. government funding for CVE, managed by MITRE and sponsored by CISA, was set to expire. Only in the 11th hour was funding secured, and the contract extended — for now.

Dev teams often face delays of days or even weeks waiting for database refreshes. The result? Blocked sprint deadlines and delayed releases. Traditional database provisioning methods often create bottlenecks in DevOps pipelines where speed matters most. But there is a solution to this problem: database cloning. It provides fast, space-efficient copies that speed up development velocity.

Enterprises like yours manage terabytes to petabytes of data daily. Collecting and storing this massive volume of information is already complex. But the real challenge lies deeper. It's in delivering data effectively, securely, and in ways that empower your teams to innovate. This blog will deep dive into the current state of enterprise data automation and examine the limitations of legacy solutions. Then, we will explore how top-performing organizations approach automation in their industries.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) had a well-documented failure of the S3 service in its US East region this week. The knock-on effects of the S3 outage took out many of Amazon’s other services and caused serious and long-lasting outages for many high-profile services including Quora, Trello, GitLab, and many others. Overall Amazon provides an outstanding set of services, and as anyone knows these things happen, the key is to architect your solution so that it can tolerate these kinds of failures.

South Africa’s Joint Standard on Cybersecurity & Cyber Resilience (JS2) is reshaping the regulatory landscape. Financial institutions must now rethink how they manage sensitive data. For data compliance leaders, this marks a critical shift where failing to adapt could bring serious consequences. This blog will examine what JS2 means for your organization’s data compliance efforts. Then, discover how Perforce solutions can help you in building a resilient data compliance program.

The Perforce 2025 State of Automotive Software Development Report revealed that automotive companies are most concerned with quality, safety, and security.
