About The Customer
MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation is a leading semiconductor company that specializes in analog and mixed-signal non-memory semiconductors. The company has the capability to independently carry out processes ranging from semiconductor design to production. With a rich history and technology spanning over 30 years, MagnaChip supplies exemplary products throughout the industry, such as High Voltage CMOS, Power, Embedded Memory, and Non-Volatile Memory. The company is ranked No. 2 in the world in the AMOLED display driver IC sector. MagnaChip’s headquarters and production facility are based in Korea and it has offices in the US, Europe, Japan, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and more.
The Challenge
MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation, a leading semiconductor company, faced the challenge of preventing the leakage of high-level internal information due to the competitive nature of the semiconductor industry. The company needed a system that could monitor internal users for signs of behavioral anomalies, identify the causes, and prevent data loss. The system needed to not only inspect unsafe actions but also monitor the entire situation, predict potential data loss incidents, and analyze causes. Additionally, the system needed to be compatible with various existing PC security software and should not interfere with the daily business of each user.
The Solution
After reviewing a number of solutions, MagnaChip selected Forcepoint Insider Threat (FIT) and Forcepoint DLP. Forcepoint received high scores based on their excellent performance, high compatibility with other PC tools, and an intuitive user interface (UI), which enables the administrator to see risk factors at a glance and address them. FIT is a next-generation security solution that prevents vital data from being infringed upon or stolen by providing visibility into initial activities on the user’s PC and providing early danger signals for hacked systems, stolen authentication information, malicious insiders, and even simple mistakes. Forcepoint DLP provides the best fingerprinting functionality in the industry, detecting both structured and unstructured data, regardless of the location; whether it is in the office, on the cloud, or in transit.

Modular AI Defect Inspection Solution for Efficient Semiconductor Equipment Upgrades
Smasoft Technology Co., Ltd., a System Integrator that develops industrial automation software and offers AI application solutions, was commissioned by a semiconductor equipment manufacturer to implement AI inspection features into their Extreme Ultraviolet Light (EUV) pod inspection machines. The existing AOI software in the EUV pod inspection machines could only identify defective products but could not trace the cause of the defects. The manufacturer wanted to upgrade their machines with AI features to make the products more useful. The AI solution needed to complete the analysis of 380 images for a single pod within two minutes and inspect different materials simultaneously. This required multiple sets of AI models for interpretation. The solution also needed to be installed in a cabinet in the lower half of the machines, which posed a challenge due to the limited space. Smasoft needed to purchase a hardware solution with strong computing performance, stable operation, compact size, and flexible configuration to overcome these challenges.

Optimizing Semiconductor Manufacturing Yield with IoT
A large U.S.-based manufacturer of high-performance semiconductors was facing a significant challenge in optimizing the manufacturing process of its wireless products. The company, which designs and delivers a broad set of cutting-edge products including radio frequency filters, amplifiers, modulators, attenuators, and more, was experiencing lower than expected overall yield in some of its most complex products. This was affecting the company's productivity and profitability, and there was a need for a solution that could predict low-yield wafers early in the process and identify process improvements to increase overall yield.

Rapid Hybrid Services Deployment for Global Semiconductor Company
The U.S. manufacturer of engineered materials, optoelectronic components, and semiconductors was focused on growth through mergers and acquisitions (M&As). In 2019–2020, it acquired a global electronics firm and needed immediate connectivity and visibility into the acquired firm’s geo-distributed operations. The company had a highly compressed timeline, with only days to integrate the firm’s DDI operations, while deferring a full network migration to a future date. The company was actively engaged in acquiring and merging strategically aligned companies as a key global growth strategy. The company needed to rapidly integrate its new operations, which included significant remote locations in Asia. The company turned to Infoblox to quickly design a highly secure, available, and reliable solution that could deliver full visibility into new sites. It needed dynamic scalability to accommodate its growing operations and the ability to unify a disparate, geo-diverse infrastructure.

Sony Italia's Server Consolidation: A Cost-Saving Success
Sony Italia, a branch of the global electronics giant Sony Corporation, was facing a significant challenge with its IT infrastructure. The company had consolidated most of its IT infrastructure into two data centers in the U.K, but Sony Italia opted to maintain its local server infrastructure for high performance and ease of maintenance. However, as data volumes and user numbers grew, the servers began to experience reduced performance and reliability. The company had 30 physical servers, but with limited budgets, replacing all of them was not feasible. Additionally, Sony Italia was concerned about the increasing heat output and electricity consumption in the data center. The company had already virtualized about half of its infrastructure, but needed a more cost-effective solution to extend these benefits.
