Never say never when it comes to security. While implementing good security practices contributes significantly to the protection of information, credentials, intellectual property or assets, there is no perfect solution to make a system or product impossible to attack. Since the security of our products is of critical importance to us and our customers, we take any reports of potential security vulnerabilities seriously.
The Microchip Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) is responsible for receiving and responding to reports of potential security vulnerabilities in our products, as well as in any related hardware, software, firmware, and tools. Once a report is received, the PSIRT will take the necessary steps to review the issue and determine what actions might be required to address any potential impacts to our products.
If the vulnerability affects a product, service or solution, send an email in English only to [email protected] and include as much information as possible:
For all other security issues, send an email to [email protected] with the following information:
Due to the sensitive nature of the information being exchanged, the Microchip PSIRT highly recommends that all security vulnerability reports are encrypted using the Microchip PSIRT PGP/GPG key before being submitted:
