Kitchener, Ontario – July 15, 2025

PEER Group®, the largest supplier of innovative factory automation software products for the semiconductor industry has launched a new service offering to help OEMs comply with the SEMI® Cybersecurity Standard E187: Specification for Cybersecurity of Fab Equipment.

“PEER Group’s new PEER® E187 Compliance Assessment is a comprehensive third-party service for OEMs that provides the essential training, assessment, documentation, and guidance to help their equipment comply with SEMI E187,” says Doug Suerich, PEER Group’s Director of Marketing.

Released in 2022, SEMI E187 provides a baseline level of security for new equipment being shipped to factories. It applies specifically to computing devices installed on fab equipment that run Microsoft Windows or Linux. Already mandatory at some factories, SEMI E187 is being increasingly adopted as part of factory acceptance requirements.

“PEER Group is uniquely positioned to assist with E187 compliance thanks to our leadership in SEMI’s Semiconductor Manufacturing Cybersecurity Consortium (SMCC), participation in SEMI Standard’s development, and our decades of experience working with both OEMs and factories to meet fab specification requirements and achieve SEMI Standards compliance,” shares Suerich, who also serves as an SMCC Governing Council member.

To help educate OEMs on how to comply with SEMI E187, PEER Group is hosting a free webinar on July 24, 2025. Click the button below for more information and to register for the webinar.
