👉 Read the full interview with Sudhir Ethiraj, Global Head of Cybersecurity Office at TÜVSÜD and Taskforce Lead, Security by Default at the Charter of Trust: http://spkl.io/60444ahb0

3 key takeaways:
💡 Charter of Trust introduced the principle “Security by default” recognizing that securing the product alone is not sufficient.
đź’ˇ The biggest challenge: Outdated devices and existing systems are still functional and have significant financial investments associated with them. However, they were not designed with security in mind.
đź’ˇ The Charter of Trust taskforce worked on establishing a common set of guidelines for Security by default that can be used across different industries and domains.

Thank you Siemens for including this topic in your Cybersecurity and Charter of Trust Innovation series. Looking forward to the further exchange this week with MSC 2024 ahead.
