Microchip Expands Security Services to Help Manufacturers Meet Cybersecurity Regulations

New Trust Platform offerings simplify security implementation and enable faster product development

Published on Mar. 10, 2026

Microchip Technology has expanded its Trust Platform with new secure authentication ICs and cloud-based key management and firmware update services to help manufacturers address emerging cybersecurity regulations such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act and automotive standards. The integrated solutions are designed to establish a continuous, hardware-rooted chain of trust from manufacturing through deployment and in-field operation, reducing complexity and accelerating compliance-ready product development across industrial and automotive markets.

Why it matters

As cybersecurity requirements tighten globally, product makers must embed security from the start to meet compliance. Microchip's expanded Trust Platform aims to simplify the security lifecycle and enable easier integration, helping customers bring products to market faster while addressing stringent regulations.

The details

Microchip's new TA101 TrustFLEX secure authentication IC and TA101 TrustMANAGER with keySTREAM cloud services support multiple deployment models. TrustFLEX provides factory pre-configured security for companies with existing cloud infrastructure, while TrustMANAGER offers cloud-based key lifecycle management and firmware updates for those without. This integrated approach gives customers flexibility in addressing security needs and reducing implementation complexity.

  • Microchip's Trust Platform and new TA101 offerings are currently available as part of an early adopter program.
