Workshop
Workshop: Supply Chain Security Assurance of Semiconductor Manufacturing
10. March 2026
10:00 - 16:00
SEMI,
The Bavarian Chips Alliance of Bayern Innovativ GmbH, together with Swansea University and SEMI, is hosting an interactive workshop focused on strengthening cybersecurity throughout the semiconductor industry supply chain. Learn how to navigate the new, free, standardized supplier security framework and master the SSCA.
Travel Information
By car: We recommend using the public Norikerstraße parking lot (for a fee) across the street. Please park in the paid section, as this is the only area where parking for more than 2 hours is permitted.
By public transport: From Nuremberg Central Station, take tram line 5 or 11 to "Tullnaupark" (3 stops). The tram stop is located directly in front of the Bayern Innovativ building.
Overview
This session will introduce the Semiconductor Manufacturing Cybersecurity Consortium (SMCC) and its standardized Semiconductor Supplier Cybersecurity Assessment (SSCA) framework, a streamlined approach to improving supply chain security assurance. Participants will gain insights into evidence mapping for compliance, explore best practices aligned with NIST’s cybersecurity functions, and engage in discussions with industry experts.
Whether you are a semiconductor supplier, compliance professional, or part of the broader manufacturing ecosystem, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to shape future standards and enhance resilience in semiconductor security.
Prerequisite
Download the free SSCA framework document prior to the workshop.
