(Digital Twin Consortium: Boston) -- Digital Twin Consortium (DTC) has published a foundational paper entitled Assuring Trustworthiness in Dynamic Systems Using Digital Twins and Trust Vectors. The paper provides guidance to help organizations design digital twins securely and safely for digital transformation. It presents an understandable and interoperable model for digital twins’ security and safety assurance that satisfies all stakeholders: technical, business, and regulatory.

“Many initiatives and standards for security exist, but they don’t consider all five trustworthiness characteristics—safety, security, privacy, resilience, and reliability—and that can result in losses,” says Anto Budiardjo, CEO of Padi Inc. “Similarly, safety standards for mechanical systems are mature and respected but are not necessarily able to address all concerns with dynamic and complex software-based systems. To use digital twins successfully, operators must have visibility and control over all five trustworthiness characteristics.”
