Silicon Labs Secure Vault SoC First to Get Arm's Level 3 Certification

Silicon Labs received PSA Certified Level 3 Status for its EFR32MG21 wireless SoC with Secure Vault, said the company Tuesday. The certification lowers the risk of IoT ecosystem security breaches and revenue loss from counterfeiting, by guarding against scalable local and remote software attacks and hardware attacks, said the company. The PSA Certified program was co-founded by Arm in 2017 to provide a framework for securing connected devices. “As attacks on IoT applications continue to rise and grow in complexity, the importance of securing devices at the chip level remains crucial,” said Andy Rose, chief system architect at Arm, saying Silicon Labs is the first chipmaker to receive Level 3 status.
