Letter from GlobalPlatform’s Executive Director

Last month, GlobalPlatform hosted its Secure Element (SE) for IoT Workshop to educate delegates on how standardized SEs can be used to solve business, security and regulatory challenges in IoT deployments. The recorded sessions are now available for members to view here.

This month on May 27, our China Task Force (CTF) will host an IoT Security Workshop. The event will feature expert speakers on a range of IoT topics, to expand knowledge of readily available IoT solutions that can help stakeholders develop and deploy standardized technology at reduced cost and time to market. Registration is now live and you can sign up for free here.

I would also like to welcome our latest new members in Honor Device Co., Ltd which joins our organization as a Participating Member, and Telecom Technology Center (TTC), which joins as a Public Entity Member.

CTF workshop

GlobalPlatform’s China Task Force workshop is a free-to-attend hybrid event (both onsite and online). Taking place on May 27, it will explore the topic of IoT Security, focusing largely on solutions that are readily available today, to provide delegates with the tools and consultation they need to add value and impact to their own company IoT initiatives.

The agenda and registration for the workshop are now live. We look forward to welcoming delegates to an engaging half-day session.
