GlobalPlatform’s Security Evaluation Standard for IoT Platforms (SESIP) methodology has been adopted as the basis for a European Standard (EN) by the European Committee for Standardisation, CEN and CENELEC. The standard is working to help the IoT ecosystem address regulatory fragmentation and better understand, deploy and explain security.
“This is all about raising the bar for IoT security,” comments Eve Atallah, GlobalPlatform SESIP Sub-Task Force Chair. “Security in IoT is a problem as a myriad of national and regional regulations have emerged in recent years. We are asking device makers and non-security experts to firstly identify relevant security requirements, implement technology to address them and then demonstrate the security features of their products. This is complex, costly and unsustainable.”
