Firmware TPM delivers robust, industrial-grade security for the Synaptics® Astra™ SL2610 product line, eliminating the need for discrete hardware security chips
Synaptics® Incorporated, a leader in AI-native edge computing, and SecEdge™, a digital security leader for AI infrastructure and edge devices, today announced the integration of the SecEdge SEC-TPM™ solution for the Astra™ SL2610 system-on-chip (SoC) product line.
The integration provides a standards-compliant, firmware-based Trusted Platform Module (fTPM) within the secure execution environment of the Astra SL2610 processor, part of the Synaptics Astra SL2600 Series. This collaboration enables manufacturers of industrial vision systems and high-end IoT devices to achieve robust device security and compliance with emerging regulations—such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)—without the added cost, board space, or complexity of a dedicated discrete TPM chip.
By embedding SecEdge’s SEC-TPM directly into the secure execution environment of the Astra SoC, the integration offers customers a turnkey path to advanced security.
“Security is no longer optional in the industrial IoT landscape and regulatory compliance is going to be mandatory,” said John Weil, vice president and general manager, Synaptics. “By integrating SecEdge’s SEC-TPM technology into the Astra SL2600 Series, we are providing customers with a pre-verified, robust security foundation. This allows them to eliminate the bill-of-materials cost of external security hardware while accelerating their time-to-market with a fully compliant, AI-native solution.”
“Securing the edge requires a foundation that is both hardened and easy to implement. By integrating SecEdge SEC-TPM into the Synaptics Astra line, we are providing that essential foundation,” said Sami Nassar, CEO of SecEdge. “Our software-defined TPM 2.0 for the Astra SL2600 series removes the friction of securing intelligent systems, offering a seamless, scalable path to government compliance and the robust protection required for AI model management at the edge.”
KEY HIGHLIGHTS OF THE JOINT SOLUTION
Zero-Hardware Footprint: Replaces physical TPM chips with a downloadable firmware solution, reducing bill-of-materials costs and simplifying board design.
Regulatory Compliance: Accelerates compliance with the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), IEC 62443, and NIST cybersecurity standards.
Seamless Integration: Yocto-based recipe enables easy activation of root-of-trust security features.
