Letter from GlobalPlatform’s Executive Director

Dear GlobalPlatform Members,

In an era where digital threats evolve faster than ever, GlobalPlatform remains committed to advancing trusted global security standards. This month, we bring you key updates on new tools, recent achievements, and upcoming events. Together, we’re shaping a more secure digital future.

We have added a new member benefit to our full and participant memberships. Now within each technical committee space on the member portal, participants can now interact with an AI assistant to explore the published specifications in their own languages. This assistant is a technically focused version of the AI model and is currently in a learning phase. Your feedback is essential as we work to improve its performance.

You’ll also notice an AI chatbot icon in the bottom right corner of GlobalPlatform.org. Visitors can use this tool to ask questions about GlobalPlatform, covering topics like membership, trainings, upcoming events, and our ongoing work. Please note that this chatbot doesn’t access specifications or other PDF documents. We hope these tools make it easier to stay informed, and we’d appreciate any feedback you have on your experience.

I’m pleased to report that on April 1, the SESIP Committee published the SESIP mapping to the NIST 8425 into the OLIR database. This mapping enables OEMs to address the upcoming US Cyber Trust Mark by leveraging secure, SESIP-certified components to meet conformance requirements. Congratulations to everyone involved on this important milestone.

Next week, I’ll be traveling to China and Japan with other members of the GlobalPlatform leadership team. As previously shared, we’re hosting the Cybersecurity Vehicle Forum in Shanghai on May 15 and in Yokohama on May 22. I encourage you to review the agenda and register to join us—either in person or virtually. Register here

Webinar – How to Achieve IoT Security Compliance Globally – June 6
Carlos Serratos, along with David Long, will provide an in-depth examination of how to achieve security compliance in regions around the world. This event is free of charge and available in multiple time zones. Sign up.

Global Digital Collaboration – July 1-2 – Geneva, Switzerland

Review the agenda and request to attend

We are finalizing the date of our fall eID Wallet Seminar—stay tuned for details. In the meantime, I look forward to connecting with many of you in the   months ahead. Your continued engagement is essential to our shared mission and the work that lies ahead.

Ana Tavares Lattibeaudiere
