IoT security and ubiquity will be discussed during oneM2M and GlobalPlatform webinar

Franà ois Ennesser, chairman of oneM2M Security Working Group and Standardisation Expert at Gemalto, and Gil Bernabeu, Technical Officer at GlobalPlatform, will explore the security requirements, challenges and issues that are emerging with the global roll-out and adoption of the IoT. Ennesser and Bernabeu will explain how existing and widely deployed security solutions from both organisations can be leveraged today to address diverse security requirements in both consumer and industrial IoT implementations.

The webinar â " 'Combined strengths of oneM2M and GlobalPlatform to address IoT security' â " will go on to discuss the importance of implementing the right security infrastructure from the outset of any new deployment and why such an approach is necessary to realise interoperability benefits. The webinar will also highlight the complementary nature of the two technologies, making it possible to have end-to-end security from the service provider to a trusted device protected by a GlobalPlatform secure component via a oneM2M infrastructure.

"New challenges in IoT security are constantly being uncovered and this webinar will give a unique insight into how employing established standards can ease the deployment of secure services and ensure the data that IoT applications generate is used in an authorised way," said Ennesser. "Interoperability is essential if the IoT is to deliver true value. Learning how to achieve this while fully addressing defined security requirements is key for consumers to have confidence in the concept of the IoT."

Bernabeu said: "From the device to the cloud, GlobalPlatform technology, the security framework of which is already deployed in 30+ billion devices, and oneM2M, which is being used in numerous IoT deployments globally, can provide a standardised solution, allowing service and device providers to leverage an existing and proven security framework. We want to help all players in the IoT ecosystem to deliver this safely and securely and this webinar will provide insight into the tools available from both organisations to achieve this outcome."
The GlobalPlatform webinar is the latest oneM2M-sponsored webinar to take place. The latest of these saw HPE discuss how to deliver IoT value through oneM2M compliance while another gave an overview of oneM2M's Release 2.

About oneM2M

oneM2M is the global standards initiative that covers requirements, architecture, API specifications, security solutions and interoperability for Machine-to-Machine and IoT technologies. oneM2M was formed in 2012 and consists of eight of the world's preeminent standards development organisations: ARIB (Japan), ATIS (U.S.), CCSA (China), ETSI (Europe), TIA (U.S.), TSDSI (India), TTA (Korea), and TTC (Japan), together with five industry fora or consortia (Broadband Forum, CEN, CENELEC, GlobalPlatform, OMA) and over 200 member organisations. oneM2M specifications provide a framework to support applications and services such as the smart grid, connected car, home automation, public safety, and health. oneM2M actively encourages industry associations and forums with specific application requirements to participate in oneM2M, in order to ensure that the solutions developed support their specific needs. For more information, including how to join and participate in oneM2M, see: www.onem2m.org.

About GlobalPlatform

GlobalPlatform is a non-profit industry association driven by over 100-member companies. Members share a common goal to develop GlobalPlatform's specifications, which are today highly regarded as the international standard for enabling digital services and devices to be trusted and securely managed throughout their lifecycle.

GlobalPlatform protects digital services by standardizing and certifying a security hardware/firmware combination, known as a secure component, which acts as an on-device trust anchor. This facilitates collaboration between service providers and device manufacturers, empowering them to ensure the right level of security within all devices to protect against threats.

GlobalPlatform specifications also standardize the secure management of digital services and devices once deployed in the field. Altogether, GlobalPlatform enables convenient and secure digital service delivery to end users, while supporting privacy, regardless of market sector or device type. Devices secured by GlobalPlatform include connected cars, set top boxes, smart cards, smartphones, tablets, wearables, and other Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices.

The technology's widespread global adoption delivers cost and time-to-market efficiencies to all. Market sectors adopting GlobalPlatform technology include automotive, healthcare, government and enterprise ID, payments, premium content, smart cities, smart home, telecoms, transportation, and utilities.

GlobalPlatform's legacy of successful technical specification development is thanks to two decades of energetic and effective industry collaboration.  Members influence the organization's output through participation in technical committees, working groups and strategic task forces. GlobalPlatform technology is developed in collaboration with numerous standards bodies and regional organizations across the world, to ensure continual relevance and timeliness.
