Security by Design — A Communication Problem?
Sarah Fluchs, CTO, admeritia GmbH
For a long time, cybersecurity regulation has mainly addressed critical infrastructure operators. This year, the focus has shifted to product manufacturers with regulations like EU’s Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) the UK Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure Act (PSTI) or UNECE R155/156 for cars. In addition, national security authorities from dozens of countries, led by US CISA, are pushing security by design globally through joint recommendations, and many countries are introducing cybersecurity labels for IoT products.
If everybody wants Security by Design – then why is it still not done? Maybe it’s not the technology. Maybe not even the money. Maybe the problem we need to solve is a communication problem between product manufacturers and operators / users. Sarah substantiates this point by summarizing what the above regulations require from manufacturers and shows new approaches for communicating cybersecurity – during design as well as after design, between engineers as well as towards management and an interested public.

Where Conflict and Adversaries Collide Within the Cyber Supply Chain
JC Herz, Senior Vice President, Cyber Supply Chain, Exiger
Geopolitical conflict and the geopolitical fault lines in critical industries have made cybersecurity into a higher-dimension intelligence problem: product vulnerabilities, exploitability and targeting are more effectively prioritized and managed with an overlay of supplier risks that are not present or detectable with code scans. These risks can be detected and managed by combining operational transparency with geopolitical risk data metrics on devices, software and upstream service providers and software suppliers. Attendees will walk away with:
- An overview of the intersection of cybersecurity and intelligence
- Positioning of the supply chain challenges relating to threats not simply found through tools
- Non-obvious threats in the software and firmware ecosystem
- How these threats can be detected and managed through a comprehensive program that can be tailored to your risk appetite and regulatory obligations
