Happy New Year to all!

Building on a successful 2018, we will further our work towards meeting the security requirements of the digital service and device ecosystem, with a focus on Device Trust Architecture (DTA).

GlobalPlatform members are invited to learn more about our approach to DTA by attending a special webinar, hosted by our Technical Director Gil Bernabeu, on 19 February. Be sure to mark this event date on your calendar!

I would also like to welcome our 2019 Board of Directors, and thank them for their support for our 7th Annual Seminar, to be held in Shenzhen, China later this year (date to be announced soon).
