Understanding The Role Of Software Bill Of Materials In Cybersecurity Readiness

In the era of globalization, as the international division of labor goes deeper, the industrial development shifts from “manufacturing economy to service economy” and “from hardware manufacturing to soft manufacturing.” The manufacturing industry aims to enhance its international competitiveness with the added value created by the service industry. As a major producer of global ICT products, Taiwan plays an important role in the security industry supply chain during the China-U.S. trade war. It is high time Taiwan develops “Internet of Things Security” and “Secure Internet of Things” with its complete semiconductor industry supply chain. To grasp this opportunity, Taiwanese manufacturers are striving to become not only product suppliers but also cyber security solution providers by taking advantage of the global cyber security research and development. By offering products with distinguishing cyber security functions to customers based on their needs, Taiwanese manufacturers are expecting to create higher added value.

Data is among an organization’s most valuable assets. Its management and protection should be viewed as a mission-critical stewardship rather than mere compliance. Larger and more costly cybersecurity incidents coincide with annually increasing regulatory and liability pressures. Looming U.S. privacy legislation on the horizon coupled with the General Data Protection Regulation’s impacts (Google recently received a $57 million fine), intensifies pressure on organizations to understand their legal compliance obligations and to safeguard private information.

The Mobile IoT market is set for rapid growth over the coming years and providers are concentrating more on rapid widescale deployment with security often being a later consideration. This is not a tenable position as IoT applications can be mission critical and security needs to be at the forefront of any solution. In this webinar, MEF Advisor Andrew Parkin-White is joined by two security experts: Ian Smith, IoT Security Lead at the GSMA and Stephen Fitzpatrick, VP IoT at Cellusys.

Cyber attacks are ever-evolving and it can feel like you are struggling just to keep up. It’s time to get ahead of the game. Join us for the latest attack trends and threat insights from Alert Logic’s own SOC analysts. You’ll hear what’s happening on the front lines of cybersecurity defense, and which attack vectors are worth watching out for. We’ll also discuss the costs of running your own SOC and share some alternative approaches to get 24/7 dedicated coverage and better intelligence than you can access on your own.
