Why ETSI believes in Security?
 Security is not an additional feature that can be patched on after
the adoption of a technology
 it must be taken into account from the beginning of the design
process
 Security can be a winning driver that enables the overall success
 Security failures are not just an embarrassment
 they cause substantial financial loss
 they directly affect the stock value of companies
