As accelerated compute continues to evolve with the proliferation of AI, hardware security is becoming increasingly critical to protecting sensitive data, intellectual property, and system integrity. This white paper explores the emerging security challenges of modern accelerated compute infrastructure and explains why security verification must begin at the RTL design level, before vulnerabilities become costly to fix. Learn how Caspia Technologies’ CODAx automates RTL security analysis to identify potential weaknesses early, integrate security assurance into existing engineering workflows, and support secure-by-design practices. The paper also highlights a real-world analysis of the Caliptra hardware root-of-trust, demonstrating how CODAx can uncover security issues in less than a day.
