Emerging Chiplet Designs Spark Fresh Cybersecurity Challenges

Chiplet architectures promise greater flexibility and performance for AI and automotive systems but introduce significant security and supply-chain risks: modular multi-vendor manufacturing can expand attack surfaces, enable hardware Trojans or backdoored components, and reduce provenance visibility. Experts and vendors recommend stronger identity/authentication, secure boot across dies, traceability, audits, and in-house or tightly audited supply chains—especially in regulated automotive contexts—while industry groups work on evolving standards to keep pace with emerging threats.
