zeroRISC just raised $10 million to bring OpenTitan—the first open-source silicon Root of Trust—to market. In this episode, we break down what this funding means for the future of supply chain security, and why investors are betting on open hardware to fix vulnerabilities baked into modern chips.
We explore how geopolitical tension, forced labor enforcement (like the UFLPA), and cyber threats are forcing companies to look deeper into their supply chains—including third-party IP and sub-suppliers. We also look at the real-world implications of secure silicon for IoT, data centers, and critical infrastructure.
From tamper-resistant firmware updates to attestation against AI deepfakes, we explain why zeroRISC’s Integrity Management Platform may shift control back to device owners—and how open-source innovation is becoming a national security imperative.
