GlobalPlatform News – Fall meetings, SESIP EN adoption, and the SIDI Hub Initiative

SESIP member meeting

As part of our Fall Meetings, we’ll be hosting the first meeting of our newly established Security Evaluation Standard for IoT Platforms (SESIP) Committee. This kickoff meeting will define the roadmap and priorities for the committee going forward and will give attendees an opportunity to help shape the future of the methodology.

This committee meetings will take place in Athens on November 7^th  from 14:00-18:00 CET and November 9^th 15:30-19:00 CET. SESIP provides a common and optimized approach for evaluating the security of connected products that meets the specific compliance, security, privacy and scalability challenges of the evolving IoT ecosystem.

Adoption of GlobalPlatform’s IoT security evaluation standard grows with European recognition

The World Economic Forum (WEF) reported in 2022 that cybersecurity threats have increased by over 358% in recent years. Multiple regulations have emerged in recent years, but they struggle to keep up with the rapidly evolving nature of these threats.

GlobalPlatform’s Security Evaluation Standard for IoT Platforms (SESIP) methodology provides a standardized approach for evaluating IoT security implementations, tailored to the unique requirements and challenges of the evolving ecosystem. By adopting SESIP, the European Committee for Standardization, CEN and CENELEC, is working to address regulatory fragmentation and better understand, deploy and explain IoT security.

Automotive Task Force Update

The Automotive Task Force (ATF) will host a number of meetings in Athens as part of the GlobalPlatform Fall meetings. We are looking forward to exploring the automotive configuration for TEE/TPS, SE, Security and SESIP as well as holding joint meetings with Autosar and SAE.

Please review the Fall Meeting brochure and register in Workspace. We highly encourage you to get involved and engage on the requirements and priority use cases that the technical committees will use to base their development work for secure elements, trusted execution environments, security APIs and more.

Join GlobalPlatform in Hamburg, Germany for the next Cybersecurity Vehicle Forum (CSVF) event

Over the past year, we have held three in-person Cybersecurity Vehicle Forum (CSVF) events in Detroit, Tokyo and Beijing as well as two virtual-mini updates. Each event has brought together relevant automotive stakeholders in each respective region to explore the unique security challenges facing the automotive industry. All of the event materials and recordings from previous CSVF events are available on our website.

After a successful event in Beijing last month, we are turning our attention to the final CSVF event of 2023. Join us on November 14^th in Hamburg, Germany, just prior to the automotive cybersecurity event, ESCAR Europe. This event will incorporate learnings and insights from previous CSVF events, and we have confirmed a number of relevant speakers to discuss emerging automotive security threat types as well as the latest on PQC, digital keys and more.

Review the agenda and register here. There are options to attend in-person or virtually.
