Gold prices steady ahead of Fed decision; weekly weakness noted
SANTA ROSA, Calif. - Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS), a $22 billion market cap technology leader that has seen its shares decline over 15% in the past week according to InvestingPro data, has introduced the Next-Generation Embedded Security Testbench, a scalable PXI-based solution aimed at enhancing the performance and simplifying the process of security testing for contemporary chips and embedded devices. The new testbench utilizes high-speed PXIe architecture to deliver faster and more accurate security assessments.
As the number of connected devices grows and security threats become more sophisticated, developers and security labs face significant challenges. Traditional security testing setups are often complex and time-consuming, leading to potential inconsistencies. The Next-Generation Embedded Security Testbench streamlines this process by offering a unified platform for comprehensive device security analysis.
The testbench is designed to be modular, catering to various testing requirements and integrating key components such as oscilloscopes and trigger generators into a single PXIe chassis. This integration not only reduces the need for extensive cabling but also improves communication speed between modules.
Keysight's solution is centered around three core components: the M9046A PXIe Chassis, the M9038A PXIe High-Performance Embedded Controller, and Inspector Software. Depending on specific needs, the solution can be expanded to include additional tools for more complex testing scenarios.
The Next-Generation Embedded Security Testbench claims to deliver results up to 10 times more effectively in side-channel analysis (SCA) and fault injection (FI) testing, which are vital for identifying and mitigating hardware-based vulnerabilities.
Wei Yan Mao, Director of Operations at Applus+ Laboratories, expressed enthusiasm for the technical opportunities and flexibility offered by the new platform. Erwin in 't Veld, Product Manager at Keysight, highlighted the testbench's role in setting a new standard for device security testing, emphasizing its performance, flexibility, and scalability.

In other recent news, Keysight Technologies has seen several noteworthy developments. The company has received a positive outlook revision from S&P Global Ratings, which highlighted its sustained low leverage and improved business resilience. This comes as Keysight continues its acquisition activities, including planned purchases of Spirent Communications and Synopsys’ Optical Solutions Group. Despite these acquisitions, S&P expects Keysight's leverage to remain well below 1.5x due to strong free operating cash flow. In a related development, Moody's Ratings upgraded Keysight's senior unsecured rating to Baa1, citing anticipated growth in profitability and free cash flow.
Additionally, Keysight launched the Keysight AI Data Center Builder, a software suite designed to optimize AI training performance by emulating real-world AI workloads. This tool is part of the broader Keysight Artificial Intelligence (KAI) architecture aimed at enhancing AI data center capabilities. In collaboration with Coherent Corp., Keysight also unveiled a 200G per lane VCSEL technology at the Optical Fiber Communication Conference, promising to double the data throughput of current multimode interconnects.
These advancements are expected to bolster Keysight's market position and support future growth, particularly in AI and data center infrastructure. The company's strategic moves, including investments in AI infrastructure and 5G testing tools, are seen as positive drivers by both S&P Global Ratings and Moody’s Ratings.
