Lattice FPGA Security Gains Recognition Amid Quantum Threat
Event summary
- Lattice Semiconductor won two Global InfoSec awards at the 2026 RSA Conference.
- The MachXO5-NX TDQ FPGA family was recognized for CNSA-2.0 compliant post-quantum cryptography (PQC), crypto agility, and a hardware Root of Trust.
- Lattice’s Cyber Resiliency Program was recognized for its training and guidance on cybersecurity.
- The MachXO5-NX TDQ FPGA family is built on the Lattice Nexus platform.
- The awards highlight Lattice’s focus on security solutions for Computing, Communications, Industrial, and Automotive applications.
The big picture
The awards underscore the escalating importance of post-quantum cryptography as the threat of quantum-enabled cyberattacks becomes more tangible. Lattice’s focus on hardware-based security solutions, particularly within FPGAs, positions them to benefit from the increasing demand for adaptable and resilient systems across critical infrastructure and industrial sectors. The CNSA-2.0 compliance is a key differentiator, suggesting a potential advantage in government and regulated industries.
What we're watching
- Adoption Rate
- The speed at which customers adopt Lattice’s PQC-enabled FPGAs will determine the company’s ability to capitalize on the growing quantum threat and secure its position in the market.
- Competitive Landscape
- Increased competition in the FPGA space, particularly from vendors offering similar PQC solutions, could pressure Lattice’s margins and necessitate further innovation.
- Regulatory Scrutiny
- Evolving regulatory requirements around data security and cryptography may require Lattice to continually update its offerings and compliance programs, potentially increasing operational costs.
