Arteris Completes Acquisition of Cycuity to Enhance Semiconductor Cybersecurity
CAMPBELL, Calif. — On January 14, 2026, Arteris, Inc. (Nasdaq: AIP), a front-runner in semiconductor technology aimed at accelerating creation in the AI era, announced the successful closure of its acquisition of Cycuity, Inc. This strategic move positions Arteris to significantly enhance its semiconductor cybersecurity assurance technology capabilities amid a rapidly evolving landscape.
Importance of Semiconductor Cybersecurity
In today’s tech environment, semiconductor cybersecurity assurance has become increasingly critical for various chip designs. With the expanding threat landscape affecting the hardware layer, vulnerabilities in silicon can compromise systems and expose sensitive information. This concern has been intensified by the rise of AI and chiplet architectures.
According to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the number of reported new Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) in hardware has surged over 15 times in the past five years. This alarming trend underscores the urgent need for robust solutions that enhance semiconductor security while ensuring the functionality and performance of System on Chips (SoCs).
Strategic Synergies from the Acquisition
The combination of Arteris’ innovative system IP with Cycuity’s leading silicon security technologies enables Arteris to effectively tackle the escalating concerns surrounding hardware security. The frequency of sophisticated cyberattacks is rising, jeopardizing vast amounts of unprotected data traversing semiconductors, from AI data centers to numerous edge devices.
Through this acquisition, Arteris reaffirms its commitment to delivering comprehensive products that empower customers to achieve secure on-chip data movement—an essential requirement in today's digital landscape.
