Reduce developer effort required to meet security and other non-functional requirements, making the secure path the easiest and fastest option for Siemens engineering teams. Define the trust and authorization model for AI-native software development, including least-privilege access, blast-radius-contained authority for coding assistants and autonomous agents, verifiable machine identity, and validation of AI-generated code. Partner across Siemens cybersecurity, IT, legal, privacy, product security, and business unit organizations through clear interfaces and shared operating models, harmonizing security practices while addressing legitimate product, regulatory, and deployment differences. Build a community of security architects, engineers, and champions across Foundational Services, OSES, and Siemens businesses. Build, lead, and grow the security engineering team for OSES and Foundational Services by recruiting, developing, and retaining talent responsible for securing the developer enablement platform used across Siemens.
