"Charter of Trust"
SGS signs cyber security principles
At the 54th Munich Security Conference today, the international testing company SGS is launching a policy paper for more cyber security. With the "Charter of Trust" initiated by Siemens, leading companies are committing themselves to making the digital world more secure. In addition to SGS, the other signatories include Airbus, Allianz, Daimler, IBM, Siemens, NXP Semiconductors and Deutsche Telekom.
The pioneering companies for digitalization are taking the Munich Security Conference as an opportunity to issue a declaration of principles for cyber security. In doing so, the companies are emphasizing the importance of global cyber security, but also the challenges it poses. The signatories are aware of their responsibility in the area of digitalization. They want to join forces and promote the cyber security principles enshrined in the "Charter of Trust".
The companies Airbus, Allianz, Daimler, IBM, Siemens, NXP Semiconductors, Deutsche Telekom and the testing company SGS will work together to make the digital world more secure. Their "Charter of Trust" focuses on three goals: protecting the privacy of individuals and companies, preventing harm to people, companies and infrastructure and creating a foundation of trust within the digital world.
For Frankie Ng, CEO of the international auditing company SGS, mandatory certification by independent third parties and the promotion of multilateral cooperation are the key principles of the Charter for Cybersecurity. "In the absence of a single global certification system, the various certification requirements and numerous regulatory frameworks have led to a fragmented digital single market. These barriers lead to unnecessary costs for manufacturers, operators and uncertainty for consumers," says Frankie Ng, CEO of testing company SGS. "Independence is a critical factor in creating trust in security. Cybersecurity cannot be verified by the end user or consumer. It needs certification by independent third parties who can do this reliably." cs
