New Taipei City, Taiwan, March 31th, 2025 —Leonton Technologies, a worldwide custom-designed manufacturer with a wide portfolio of PoE products in industrial networking communication, proudly announces that it has achieved the SEMI E187 Verification of Conformity (VoC) for semiconductor manufacturing equipment cybersecurity. Verified and issued by the global testing and certification leaderSGS, this achievement reinforces Leonton as a pioneer in the industrial networking sector, meeting rigorous standards to secure the fast-growing semiconductor industry.

As digital transformation accelerates, cybersecurity has become a critical concern across industries. From IEC 62443 to the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) in Europe, international standards and regulations continue to evolve, making robust cybersecurity a fundamental requirement rather than an option. 

Why SEMI E187 Matters: Validating Security for the Semiconductor Supply Chain

Achieving SEMI E187 certification is more than a regulatory requirement; it is a testament to Leonton’s proactive approach to digital defense. By integrating default security features, such as SSH/HTTPS encryption, secure SNMPv3 management, and robust access controls, our products ensure that cybersecurity is an intrinsic part of the equipment, not an afterthought. For Leonton, this certification validates our ability to protect our customers' intellectual property and ensure business continuity in the face of sophisticated modern threats.

Expertise in Industrial PoE Customization and Connectivity

Specializing in the design and manufacturing of industrial Ethernet switches and media converters, Leonton is trusted for its strong PoE customization capabilities and fast time-to-market. The achievement of SEMI E187 compliance further empowers customers to deploy Leonton’s solutions with total confidence in their network’s integrity. 

Customer Benefits

Deploying SEMI E187-compliant equipment provides three strategic advantages: 

• Streamlined Acceptance & Deployment: 

Compliant devices come with standardized security documentation and technical evidence, significantly reducing the time required for onsite security audits and Fab-level acceptance testing.

• Minimized Integration Risks: 

By using "Secure by Default" components, our customers can build systems without worrying about weak links in the device layer, lowering the total cost of ownership and maintenance.

• Enhanced Customer Trust: 

Utilizing certified equipment demonstrates high-tier compliance to end-customers (Fabs), enhancing the trust as professional partners.

"As cybersecurity requirements in semiconductor manufacturing continue to escalate, Leonton remains committed to strengthening our product security and network protection," said Austin Lin, Senior Director of Sales and Product Strategy at Leonton. "Achieving SEMI E187 verification not only demonstrates our expertise in secure industrial networking but also provides our customers with the security assurance they need for semiconductor production lines."

The SEMI E187 Standard

As semiconductor fabrication plants (Fabs) transition toward Industry 4.0 and increased automation, the convergence of Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) has expanded the cyber-attack surface. To mitigate risks such as ransomware and unauthorized data access, SEMI (Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International), in collaboration with industry giants like TSMC and UMC, developed the SEMI E187 standard. This represents the world’s first unified cybersecurity framework specifically for semiconductor equipment, covering four critical pillars: Operating System Security, Network Security, Endpoint Protection, and Security Monitoring.
