The Hidden Security Risks in Modern Chips

By Srinivas Shekar, CEO and Co-Founder, Pantherun Technologies

Behind every breakthrough in artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and autonomous systems lies a powerful chip, silently working to process information at lightning speed. These processors are the silent engines of modern technology. But as they grow in power and sophistication, an uncomfortable truth is coming into focus: they are also becoming increasingly vulnerable.

A recent report by Intel sounds a clear warning: dozens of known flaws in major processors remain unpatched. Specifically, 78 security vulnerabilities in widely used chips currently have no fix in sight. Even more unsettling is the rise in firmware-level security issues. In some cases, the number of such vulnerabilities has grown more than fourfold. This means that even devices running the latest software updates, often assumed to be secure, may still be exposed to cyber threats.
