Designing for a More ‘Intelligent’ and Connected Future

09/15/2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007 Magazine
With more collaborative and computationally demanding PCB designs, cloud-based workflows are rapidly moving from possibility to reality. But greater connectivity also raises new questions about data security, intellectual property, and the sharing of design information in an increasingly complex electronics ecosystem. In this interview, Kristin Moyer of the Global Electronics Association explores the benefits and challenges of cloud-based design environments, the growing importance of standardized data transfer protocols such as IPC-1751 and IPC-2581, and why a secure, intelligent data ecosystem will be essential for the future of co-design, automation, and advanced electronics manufacturing.

NOTE Secures SEK 160 Million Security & Defense Contract

NOTE has been awarded a contract by a European customer in the Security & Defense sector, with an estimated order value of approximately SEK 160 million over a three-year period. Order intake to date indicates a higher delivery rate than initially planned.

Decoding the CMMC Suspension

08/25/2026 | Divyash Patel, MX2 Technology
The recent CMMC suspension put all of us in something of a state of shock and confusion, and I have been closely following the discussion in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) community, including vendors, customers, and cybersecurity specialists. In a memo to my clients, I shared some details for the decision. A common theme among those reasons is cost and capacity. We’ve learned that CMMC has prohibitive compliance costs, with individual bills approaching $600,000; SBA estimates above $7 billion annually across the base, that there is a severe assessor shortage; roughly 100,000+ firms need assessments from only about 100 approved organizations and that the DoD stood up a 60-day CMMC Reform Task Force to recommend a lower-barrier replacement framework.

How San Francisco Circuits Achieved CMMC Certification

08/25/2026 | Daniel Porton and Alex Danovich, San Francisco Circuits
When the U.S. Department of Defense began signaling that cybersecurity self-attestation would eventually give way to mandatory third-party certification, San Francisco Circuits decided to get ahead of it. That decision, made in 2019, shaped everything that followed: the systems we implemented, the partners we engaged, and the audit we ultimately passed. This is the story of that process, including what worked, what added complexity, and what we'd tell other EMS companies and defense suppliers that are now facing the same path.

Omega EMS Advances Toward CMMC Level 2 Certification

08/12/2026 | Nolan Johnson, SMT007 Magazine
In June, Omega EMS announced its intention to achieve CMMC Level 2 before the U.S. Department of Defense’s mandatory November 2026 implementation timeline for organizations handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). We caught up with Omega EMS CEO Chris Alessio to discuss the company’s certification journey, the investment required, and what CMMC means for Omega’s military and aerospace business. Note: The DoD has suspended its November requirement pending a 60-day review.
