Digital Trust In Manufacturing – Here Comes The Chief Product Security Officer

Business leaders often view cybersecurity as a specialized IT role when in reality, it is a subset of enterprise and business risk management. The purpose of cybersecurity is no longer to secure things; rather, it is to help businesses succeed in hostile environments.

One way to achieve this resiliency is to integrate cybersecurity responsibility and accountability into business technology and risk management roles at different levels of the business and the creation of a Chief Product Security Officer (CPSO) function.

Significant macro changes around product digitization signal the need for a CPSO. Customers expect more in terms of connectivity and information sharing and are disappointed with undisclosed information leaks that impact their privacy.
