In that spirit, there's a bunch of new things coming in 2018 that I'd like to sumarize.

Q3 review and Upcoming Training
Five years ago while I still worked on pre- and post-silicon penetration testing of CPUs, I began teaching internal courses on hardware security to functional validators. That was when I first realized the incredible leverage that was possible with effective training - and also the dearth of information on hardware security practices in the industry.
