## Summary

Dana Neustadter, Senior Product Manager for Security Solutions at Synopsys, explains why securing System-on-Chip (SoC) interfaces is now a mandatory requirement rather than an afterthought. She details how threats vary by application, noting that automotive security is inextricably linked to safety, while IoT devices often lack basic firmware integrity checks. Neustadter highlights Synopsys' Secure Interfaces solution, which integrates hardware root-of-trust and encryption into controllers for standards like PCIe, CXL, and DDR, ensuring data confidentiality and integrity across all links. The discussion concludes with the urgent need to prepare for post-quantum cryptography and the geopolitical fragmentation of security standards.
