UL Debuts Supplier Cyber Trustworthiness Rating Program

摘要

UL has rolled out a new assessment program to help organiza-tions minimize supply chain cybersecurity risk by focusing on the trustworthiness of suppliers' security practices. UL Supplier Cyber Trust Level analyzes suppliers' security practices across mul-tiple trust categories, resulting in a documented supplier trust level rating. This rating demonstrates the trustworthiness of a supplier's security practices across the software and hardware development lifecycle, hosted systems, information management sys-tems and their third-party management. UL Supplier Cyber Trust Level assessment enables a holistic view of supplier's security posture, while providing a consistent evaluation for organizations of the cybersecurity posture from supplier to supplier. "Cybersecurity for connected technologies is a major risk that impacts manufac-turers, service providers, suppliers and end product ecosystems," said Isabelle Nob-lanc, global vice president and general manager, Identity Management and Security division, UL. "A supplier's security-oriented culture, security processes and practices and secure R&D environments are all critical when validating supplier security. UL understands this significance and continues to help organizations with IoT cyberse-curity offerings that address end products, ecosystems and now - with the launch of our Supplier Cyber Trust Level - supply chains."
