Insyde® Software Affirms Firmware Security Thought Leadership at FTA 2026

Presentations Explore SBOM Tooling, Secure Development Rules for UEFI, and NSA Secure Boot Management

HILLSBORO, OR – September 28, 2026 – Insyde® Software, a leading provider of UEFI, OpenBMC and platform root-of-trust firmware, today announced that its CTO Tim Lewis will present three sessions at the International Workshop on Firmware Testing and Analysis (FTA 2026). The workshop takes place October 5 in Oakland, CA, in conjunction with the International Symposium on Software Testing and Analysis (ISSTA 2026).

The company will share practical approaches to addressing evolving security threats, software transparency demands, and customer and compliance requirements. The presentations bring an industry perspective to a workshop focused on advancing firmware testing and security, particularly within UEFI and the TianoCore ecosystem.

“Firmware teams face growing pressure to address emerging threats on one hand and increasing security and regulatory expectations on the other,” said Tim Lewis, CTO of Insyde Software. “We are sharing practical approaches that change responses to these threats from ad-hoc to repeatable engineering and management practices,” added Lewis.

Insyde Software’s sessions include the following:

A.“Tooling for Repeatable Generation of SBOMs for EDK2-Based Firmware,” focused onautomating methods for producing software bills of materials directly in customer-requested formats, using controlled configurations, shared component metadata, and validation profiles.

B. “Firmware-Specific Security Guidelines,” uncovers seven high-risk technology areas in production UEFI firmware and the rules that help developers recognize vulnerability patterns in everyday coding.

C.“Meeting NSA’s Guidance for Managing UEFI Secure Boot,” analyzing the guidance’s five core pillars and the shift from enabling Secure Boot to actively managing it, using InsydeH2O® to illustrate steps firmware owners can take.
