Cadence completed the acquisition of Secure‑IC on October 30, 2025, adding a leading provider of embedded security IP, security solutions, and evaluation tools to its portfolio.
The transaction expands Cadence’s IP library and strengthens its position in the embedded security market, which is critical for automotive, data‑center, aerospace, defense, mobile, IoT, and consumer‑electronics customers.
Cadence said the acquisition is expected to be immaterial to revenue and earnings for the current year. In Q3 2024, the company reported revenue of $1.215 billion, up 19% year‑over‑year, and it raised its 2024 revenue outlook.
Secure‑IC, founded in 2010 as a spin‑off of Télécom Paris University, holds a strong patent portfolio and has previously collaborated with Cadence on a chiplet project. The acquisition aligns with Cadence’s Intelligent System Design strategy to deliver end‑to‑end solutions across chips, IP, packages, PCBs, and systems.
Deal terms were not disclosed, but the acquisition is part of Cadence’s broader strategy to accelerate time‑to‑market for customers requiring robust security solutions.
