  • Micron Technology, Wave Systems, Lenovo and American Megatrends Inc
    October 28, 2014 Micron Technology, Wave Systems, Lenovo and American Megatrends Inc. Announce Intention to Create New Industry Standard to Meet Heightened Global Security Requirements Companies Will Collaborate to Strengthen Core Root of Trust for Measurement for the Enterprise Supply Chain BOISE, Idaho, Oct. 28, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq:MU), a global leader in advanced semiconductor systems, and Wave Systems Corp. (Nasdaq:WAVX), a leading provider of endpoint security, today announced they intend to expand their collaboration to include Lenovo (HKSE:992) (ADR:LNVGY) and American Megatrends Inc. (AMI). Together, the four companies plan to develop advanced enterprise-class security offerings to address the escalating concerns of governments and multinational businesses. To meet the overall objective of verifying and securing software components, these solutions will significantly strengthen the Core Root of Trust for Measurement (CRTM) to offer best-in-class protection against current and emerging pre-boot threats within the supply chain. The companies intend for these solutions to form the basis of a new industry standard designed to ensure the integrity of the supply chain. According to the 2014 Verizon DBIR report, supply chain vulnerabilities and third-party vendors are still a leading cause of enterprise data breaches (Source, Verizon DBIR, 2014). With major brands continually leaking sensitive enterprise data, it is becoming even more critical to architect a comprehensive enterprise security suite that protects memory content from its inception in manufacturing throughout a computing device's life cycle. By providing verification of the CRTM, the first BIOS code that executes, the security of system measurements can be ensured rather than implicitly trusted, reducing the risk of supply chain attacks.
