Marc comments: “In the past decade, many industries have capitalized on the digitalization of services. As more consumers, in more markets, use a growing number of digital services, the number and type of devices that can access these services is increasing exponentially. GlobalPlatform brings service providers and device manufacturers together to address the very real security challenges that this dynamic landscape creates. GlobalPlatform Specifications ensure that all devices can implement a market-defined level of security to protect against threats and attacks, and so enable the delivery of secure digital services to end users. Collaboration is at the heart of this effort and the diversity and experience of the Board will ensure the continued advancement and adoption of GlobalPlatform Specifications.”

Kevin Gillick, Executive Director, GlobalPlatform, adds: “As a not-for-profit association, GlobalPlatform relies on the Board’s wealth of knowledge and expertise to steer the organization, ensuring the various functional and security requirements of rapidly evolving markets are met.

“For example in 2018, with the consumer and industrial IoT ecosystems poised for rapid growth, we will continue to highlight the need for standards to ensure security for IoT devices, regardless of the use case, to prevent them becoming a platform for attacks. GlobalPlatform secure components have a key role to play in securing digital services and devices and, to further advance this mission, our Board and sector-specific task forces welcome contributions from around the industry.”
