Semiconductor Engineering turns to David Stewart, CEO of CriticalBlue - Approov Mobile App Protection and Lanza techVentures portfolio company, for insights into “Why Banks Should Be More Worried About #Security” and #mobilephone #banking's vulnerabilities. David offered this advice: “More than 50% of #mobileapps contain valuable and easily stolen API keys and tokens. #hackers targeting the #mobilebanking  segment constantly come up with innovative ways to modify or manipulate those mobile apps. Most often, they completely bypass the mobile app and generate their own scripts using stolen API keys and tokens to impersonate the mobile apps, fooling the #banks into thinking the real user is online. The only solution is to authenticate that the real mobile app is present through a deep, real-time analysis, much like verifying the #dna of the mobile app to prevent money or sensitive #data from being stolen. Further, such authentication must run every few minutes and must generate #cryptographically secure and distinct access tokens at the end of each process.” https://lnkd.in/eWyKBpAe

Breker Verification Systems used DVCon U.S. to unveil #SystemUVM, a framework designed to simplify specification model composition for test content synthesis with a #UVM/ #SystemVerilog syntactic and semantic approach familiar to UVM engineers.

Lucio Lanza, managing partner of Lanza techVentures, often describes the move from custom #ics to #semicustom ICs in the 1980s as a game-changer, according to ESD Alliance’s Bob Smith, in “The Indispensables: The Diverse #Electronic #System #Design #Ecosystem.” Despite intense criticism, the move to semi-custom design, a result of the efforts of early electronic design automation (#eda) pioneers Daisy, Mentor and Valid, broadened the range of design tool offerings and engineering expertise. Expanding the design space to include semi-custom ICs produced a new community of #engineers  who proved they didn’t need to be experts to do #chipdesign. It also produced a new market segment. #lanzatechventures https://lnkd.in/e5ZRS-jS

Happy Holidays from everyone at Lanza techVentures and good wishes for a prosperous 2022!

Lanza techVentures Names Rick Carlson #investment Partner and will work closely with Lucio Lanza and other investment partners to identify new and #emergingmarkets and #entrepreneurial  startups in need of early-stage capitalization. Current interests include the intersection of #semiconductors and #medtech and intelligence at the edge. https://lnkd.in/e3menwv4 #semieda

A highlight of yesterday’s #semiconwest program was a fascinating look at #semiconductor applications in #medtech. The panel was moderated by Lucio Lanza (second from left) of Lanza techVentures. Joining him (from left to right) were Julien Penders, Co-Founder and COO of Bloomlife Inc; Marco Chisari, Managing Director, Global Head of Semiconductor Investment Banking and Global co-Head of Mobility Investment Banking at Bank of America Merrill Lynch; Veerbhan K., Co-Founder and CEO at quadric.io; and Carla Gallegos, Co-Founder of Healiom. A big #thankyou to all of them for a great, inspiring discussion!

“The Democratization of #chipdesign” on EETimes | Electronic Engineering Times by Lucio Lanza of Lanza techVentures and Mike Wishart of Efabless Corporation points out that the well-structured practices of #semiconductor #design and #manufacturing have been flipped on their sides and may never be the same again. https://lnkd.in/e6mgUM_m

Lucio Lanza of Lanza techVentures in conversation with the ESD Alliance’s Bob Smith: “I advise the #entrepreneurs to look at #chip applications related to #MedTech. Sure, #semiconductors have powered #medicaldevices for years. Entrepreneurs need to think beyond conventional medical devices, do something that matters and has the potential to create real value for the future of our industry and society at large. If they do, the opportunities are rich and plentiful.” https://lnkd.in/euEY9C7w
