An ad hoc planning committee will work with regional partners to organize two series of workshops, one series in Latin America and one series in South and Southeast Asia, to identify and promote adoption of strategies, best practices, policies, and resources for cybersecurity and physical security in semiconductor supply chains, from research and development to packaging. Each regional series of will consist of two virtual workshops, followed by an in-person workshop.

Workshop participants will share (1) experience and insights on cyber and physical threats to the semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem, including design know-how, software and hardware toolchain, intellectual property, and supply chain security, (2) strategies, best practices, policies, and resources for addressing these threats, and (3) opportunities for improvement in responsible management and development of expertise, digital resources, facilities, and personnel, interactions and partnerships with other actors in the supply chain, and risk assessment and risk-management approaches.

Each regional workshop series will result in a rapporteur-written proceedings.
