Equipment OEM Security and E187 Hardening
Harden your tools to SEMI E187, prove it with evidence, and stop losing deal cycles to fab security questionnaires.
Best forSemiconductor equipment manufacturers whose fab customers now require SEMI E187 compliance and security evidence as a condition of purchase.
Service overview
Your customers now audit your tools. Be ready.
Leading fabs have made SEMI E187 compliance a procurement requirement. Equipment OEMs that cannot demonstrate hardened operating systems, controlled network behaviour, and documented security configurations face longer sales cycles, intrusive customer audits, and in some cases lost deals.
We work with your engineering team to harden tool platforms against E187 requirements, validated against tool performance and OEE so security never compromises what the tool was built to do. Then we build the evidence package that turns customer security reviews from an obstacle into a checkbox.
What we cover
- OS hardening baselines for tool controllers across Windows and Linux
- Network behaviour documentation and port/protocol minimisation
- Endpoint protection strategy compatible with real-time tool constraints
- Secure remote diagnostics and field service access design
- E187 conformance documentation and customer evidence packages
- Security requirements integration into your tool development lifecycle
Our approach
Engagement methodology
The steps of the engagement, designed around the operational constraints of live industrial environments.
Platform baseline review
We assess a representative tool platform: OS configuration, services, network behaviour, and update mechanisms, establishing the gap against E187 requirements.
Hardening design and validation
Hardening measures are designed and validated in your lab against tool performance and OEE requirements before any production release.
Field service and remote access redesign
We redesign remote diagnostics and field service access to meet fab customer expectations: named accounts, session control, and auditable trails.
Evidence package development
A customer-facing E187 conformance package is built: hardening baselines, network documentation, and security configuration guides your sales team can hand over.
Lifecycle integration
Security requirements are embedded into your tool development lifecycle so every future platform release ships compliant by default.
