JULY 2023 I DESIGN007 MAGAZINE 69 expect to see much more use of the technol- ogy in the future. I am doing my part. In my most recent Occam/SAFE technology pat- ent, I described a way to make such products without dealing with the inherent instability that stretchable materials present to manu- facturing. I hope to soon get the opportunity to build a demonstration circuit as envisioned and open doors to even more applications for this wonderful new member of the flexible cir- cuit family.

Altium recently launched Altium 365 GovCloud, a dedicated platform accessible only to—and man- aged solely by—U.S. persons. The company says that GovCloud can help customers to be in compli- ance with ITAR, EAR, and other requirements. I-Connect007 spoke with Bruno Blasigh, Director of Cloud Security for Altium 365, about the new plat- form, how it functions, and how GovCloud can help to keep foreign entities from accessing your data. Bruno, how are you doing? Give us a little background about yourself. I'm the director of cloud security for Altium 365. Ulti- mately Altium 365 is an electronics product design platform, allowing people to bring together all the aspects of PCB design, as well as helping organiza- tions to build better products faster. Altium recently launched Altium 365 GovCloud. Tell us about this and how it's different from the standard platform. Sure. GovCloud allows us to be more special- ized with secure workloads, allowing us to work together with companies that deal with what we call CUI, which is controlled unclassified information, as well as ITAR and other requirements. So, Altium 365 GovCloud offers more compliance measures and certifications tailored to meet these government requirements. That's where this secure workload started com- ing in with the cloud service providers, which many SaaS companies like Altium are utilizing to meet those infrastructure requirements. This allows us to build a more secure platform locking down systems to meet those requirements. I think one of the biggest struggles with the cloud in general is its openness and aspects with open sources, right? So Altium 365 GovCloud gives us a better measure to let us know that the underlying infra- structure, which is critical for storing the data and all the other information, does meet those high standards.
