Arteris announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Cycuity, a provider of semiconductor cybersecurity assurance. Arteris said the addition of Cycuity's technology and expertise will strengthen its product portfolio by enabling chip designers to understand and improve data movement security in chiplets and SoCs. This pending acquisition addresses a growing industry concern about the increasing volume of sophisticated cyberattacks targeting the vast amounts of unsecured data moving through semiconductors, from AI data centers to a broad range of edge devices. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in Arteris' Q1 FY26.
