Semiconductor

Overview

Semiconductors Are Indispensable for the Development of Society

Semiconductors are known as the "rice of industry" and are an essential part of our lives, found in electrical appliances, smartphones, and other products.
Their evolution not only supports comfortable lifestyles, but is also essential for resolving social issues such as an aging society, carbon neutrality, autonomous driving, the shift to electric vehicles, factory automation, and the use of renewable energy. Today, countries around the world view semiconductors as strategic materials and are focusing on their development and manufacturing.

Applications of semiconductor devices

What is a Semiconductor?

Semiconductors have properties intermediate between conductors, which conduct electricity, and insulators, which do not, and there are many different types depending on their application. Logic ICs and memory ICs, which perform calculations and store information, are likened to the "brain," sensors that convert light into signals are likened to the "eyes," analog ICs are likened to the "hands" that control temperature and humidity, and power ICs that handle electricity are likened to the "heart and muscles." Electrical appliances are made up of a combination of these different semiconductors, and they support our lives.

cyber security

Overview

What is Cybersecurity?

This is an effort to protect information and systems from attacks such as viruses and unauthorized access, and is essential for protecting personal information and data.
For companies, security is an important factor that directly relates to reliability and customer trust, and with the advancement of digital transformation, the targets and methods of attacks are becoming more diverse and sophisticated, so traditional measures alone are no longer sufficient. For this reason, there is a strong demand to introduce the latest security technologies and to continually improve and strengthen them.

About cyber attacks

Types of cyber attacks: Damage caused by ransomware, attacks exploiting weaknesses in the supply chain, theft of confidential information through targeted attacks, damage caused by information leaks due to internal fraud, attacks targeting new normal working styles such as teleworking, attacks targeting before patch releases (zero-day attacks), financial damage caused by business email compromise, and the commercialization of crime (underground services).

Behind cyber attacks lie a diverse range of actors, including financially motivated criminals, hacktivists spreading political messages, state-sponsored organizations, and pranksters. With the advancement of digital transformation, the targets of attack are expanding, and threats such as supply chain attacks and internal fraud are becoming more sophisticated. The main attack methods include ransomware, phishing, DDoS, business email compromise, and zero-day attacks, making it essential for companies to not only implement the latest security measures, but also to take comprehensive measures including employee education and system updates.

Cybersecurity measures must constantly evolve from three perspectives: evolving threats, evolving technology, and strengthening laws and regulations. Cyberattacks are becoming more sophisticated every day, and we must also respond to the spread of cloud computing and IoT, as well as strengthening regulations such as the Personal Information Protection Act and GDPR.
