Microsoft joins Charter of Trust for greater cybersecurity collaboration
Microsoft joins Charter of Trust for greater cybersecurity collaboration
“The Charter of Trust embodies the values we at Microsoft take seriously: being proactive,
open, transparent, and collaborative in developing cybersecurity best practices
and enhancing trust,” said Tom Burt, Corporate Vice President of Customer
Security & Trust at Microsoft. “Industry partnership is crucial to
addressing the challenges we face today, and we look forward to working with the
Charter’s members to drive forward strategies and initiatives that strengthen
cybersecurity.”
“Cybersecurity
is the key to building people’s confidence in digitalization,” said Cedrik
Neike, member of the Managing Board of Siemens AG and CEO of Digital
Industries. “By bringing Microsoft on board, the Charter of Trust is, again,
gaining considerably more weight for making our connected world more resilient
and for shaping our digital future.”
Over
the last four years, the Charter of Trust has already launched a wealth of
measures to enhance cybersecurity – including the “Security by Default” principle,
which takes cybersecurity into account right from the design phase and provides
products with preconfigured security measures. In addition, the CoT partners
have defined baseline requirements for their suppliers in order to further
enhance cybersecurity throughout supply chains. The primary focus in the
next phase will be on implementing a cross-industry approach to evaluate supply-chain
security. In this context, the growing Charter of Trust community will provide companies
– mainly small and medium-sized businesses – with information, training and further
resources.
The CoT initiative collaborates regularly
with various global authorities and scientific institutions to also drive advances
in cybersecurity internationally and harmonize efforts across national borders
and organizational boundaries. For this purpose, the CoT initiative has created
the Associated Partner Forum, which has been joined by institutions such as the
German Federal Office for Information Security, Japan’s Ministry of Internal
Affairs and Communication (MIC), the Canadian Centre for Cybersecurity and the Hasso
Plattner Institute for Digital Engineering GmbH (HPI) in Germany.
At the Munich Security Conference in
February 2018, Siemens and eight partners from the industrial sector signed the
world’s first joint charter for greater cybersecurity. In addition to Siemens
and the Munich Security Conference, the signatories include AES, Airbus,
Allianz, Atos, Bosch, Dell Technologies, Deutsche Post DHL Group, IBM, Infineon
Technologies AG, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, NTT, NXP Semiconductors, SGS,
TotalEnergies, TÜV SÜD – and now Microsoft.
