STANDARDS & COMMITTEES innovation, the industry needs an organization like SAE to help align direction. Having a unified environment that allows the voice of different levels of the supply chain to be heard is extremely powerful. What is the big cybersecurity challenge? The biggest challenge I see is that there are many standards on measuring maturity, and most organizations do not have the expertise to figure out what works for them. My expectation is that the series of documents we are developing will provide a guide as to how and why certain assessments should be used, as well as how different assessments can be compilatory or supporting. Do you have a background in cybersecurity? For the last 11 years, my career has focused on addressing cybersecurity challenges in multiple industries with a focus on automotive. Working with SAE to raise cybersecurity awareness as part of the WCX conference is just of a few ways to address cybersecurity. n UPDATE January 2022 39 Synopsyshttps://www.sae.org/attend/wcx
