Stellantis, a major automotive original equipment manufacturer (OEM), has joined GlobalPlatform to enhance global automotive cybersecurity standards for software-defined vehicles (SDVs). The move underscores Stellantis' commitment to aligning its technologies with evolving use cases and regulatory requirements, joining a growing community of automakers, cybersecurity firms, and silicon vendors in GlobalPlatform [1].

Stellantis' participation is significant as it will co-chair the GlobalPlatform Automotive Task Force. This task force is dedicated to advancing a standardized approach to meeting the complex cybersecurity demands of today's SDVs. The task force recently achieved a major milestone by fully aligning its specifications with the SAE J3101 Hardware Protected Security Environment standard (J3101-5). This alignment provides automakers with confidence that components embedded in their vehicles meet cybersecurity requirements and facilitates integration with various automotive frameworks [1].

The Automotive Task Force has also developed a protection profile based on the SESIP evaluation methodology, ensuring component-level certifications align with SAE J3101. This allows certified components to be reused across platforms without the need for re-evaluation, saving time and resources across the supply chain [1].

GlobalPlatform's Executive Director, Ana Tavares Lattibeaudiere, expressed enthusiasm about the recent advancements, stating, "These recent advancements represent a breakthrough in the industry’s goal of creating a standardized and certified platform for secure vehicle applications. We urge further companies from across the auto industry to join us in our mission to lower risk, reduce costs, and eliminate fragmentation across the automotive cybersecurity ecosystem" [1].

Stellantis' involvement in GlobalPlatform reflects its dedication to advancing secure technologies that can scale across the automotive ecosystem. The company's North American Regulatory Lead and Technical Fellow for Product Cybersecurity, Bill Mazzara, will serve as co-chair of the task force, further emphasizing Stellantis' commitment to industry collaboration and innovation.

GlobalPlatform is a technical standards organization that enables the efficient launch and management of innovative, secure-by-design digital services and devices. Its technologies are used in billions of smart cards, smartphones, wearables, and other connected and IoT devices [1].
