Antaira Technologies is proud to announce it has completed the SEMI E187 compliance verification after successfully testing by SGS

With the rise of digitalization and smart manufacturing across the global semiconductor industry, equipment cybersecurity has emerged as a critical priority for both wafer fabs and their supply chains. As cybersecurity threats grow increasingly complex, the security capabilities at the equipment level more directly impact the operational stability and risk management of entire production lines.

SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection, and certification company, has officially completed the SEMI E187 verification testing for Antaira Technologies (Antaira Technologies Co., Ltd.). This milestone confirms that Antaira’s industrial networking products have successfully met the rigorous requirements of the SEMI E187 standard. By achieving this compliance, Antaira demonstrates its commitment to robust cybersecurity within semiconductor production environments, effectively fortifying the first line of defense for its customers' equipment.

 

SEMI E187: The Critical Benchmark for Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment Cybersecurity

SEMI officially released the SEMI E187 standard in 2022, establishing fundamental cybersecurity requirements for semiconductor wafer manufacturing equipment. The standard covers several critical cybersecurity aspects, including operating system hardening, endpoint protection, network security mechanisms, and security monitoring capabilities. Through a standardized verification process, it ensures that equipment meets fundamental cybersecurity requirements.

In Taiwan, with active promotion from government agencies and leading industry companies, SEMI E187 has gradually developed a comprehensive checklist and verification process. It has also accumulated multiple successful implementation cases, becoming an important foundation for putting semiconductor equipment cybersecurity into practice.

 

SGS Professional Verification: Empowering the Equipment Supply Chain to Build Trusted Cybersecurity Capabilities

In this project, SGS conducted a systematic evaluation and technical review of Antaira’s industrial networking products in accordance with the SEMI E187 Checklist and verification framework. The assessment confirmed that the products comply with the SEMI E187 standards across the following dimensions:

• Operating System Security
• Network Security
• Endpoint Protection
• Security Monitoring

The verification results show that Antaira’s products comply with the cybersecurity baseline defined by the SEMI E187 standard. They can effectively support security requirements in semiconductor equipment environments and provide equipment integrators and wafer fabs with more reliable and trustworthy networking solutions.

"As cybersecurity requirements for semiconductor equipment continue to escalate, SEMI E187 is increasingly becoming a vital security benchmark for the supply chain. Through third-party verification mechanisms, we not only assist equipment manufacturers in building cybersecurity capabilities that the market can trust but also help elevate the overall security maturity of the entire industry chain. SGS is honored to have assisted Antaira in completing this verification, as we work together to promote the practical implementation of semiconductor equipment cybersecurity standards." Said, Kelvin Yen, Director of SGS Cybersecurity Laboratory and Information Technology Department.

Sun Square Provides Professional Consulting Support to Enable Standard Implementation

The technical consulting team from Sun Square assisted Antaira Technologies in implementing the SEMI E187 equipment cybersecurity requirements. Through a process of standard analysis, cybersecurity capability inventory, and security design enhancement, Sun Square helped the enterprise establish equipment security capabilities that meet semiconductor industry standards and complete preparations for third-party verification.

“The core value of SEMI E187 lies in establishing equipment cybersecurity capabilities that customers can trust. The key to this project was translating standard requirements into practical engineering implementations, enabling a company’s cybersecurity capabilities to be validated by the market and the supply chain.”

Said, SZ Lin, Lead Cybersecurity Consultant at Sun Square Technology Consulting Co., Ltd.

 

Implementing Cybersecurity Standards for a Stronger Industry Defense

As cybersecurity requirements within the semiconductor supply chain continue to escalate, SEMI E187 verification will evolve from an "added-value" option into a critical criterion for future procurement and supply chain management. As leading wafer fabs integrate equipment cybersecurity into their mandatory requirements, the security maturity of the entire industry chain will rise in tandem.

SGS stated that it will continue to leverage its expertise in Industrial Control Systems (ICS) security and international standards—such as IEC 62443—to assist more equipment manufacturers and key component suppliers in establishing cybersecurity capabilities that are verifiable, sustainable, and trusted by the global market.

Through this successful collaboration with Leonton, SGS has once again demonstrated its professional prowess in the field of industrial and semiconductor security verification. Together with industry partners, they are strengthening the security resilience of semiconductor production equipment to build a safer and more reliable future for smart manufacturing.
