Nina Kattwinkel is a Senior Expert for Product Cybersecurity Strategy and Governance at Robert Bosch GmbH, Bosch Mobility. In a career spanning more than 20 years, her work has evolved from embedded systems development through security engineering and management to strategy and governance.

As a security manager, she handled key management, secure boot and secure update, and with them the questions that post-quantum cryptography now raises again: deploying cryptography in ECUs and renewing it in vehicles already in the field, with limited patch options.

Today she addresses these questions strategically, including beyond automotive. For her, technical feasibility is only the starting point: together with engineering experts, she makes visible what each option means for sourcing, the business case and long-term maintenance. From a tier-one perspective, she is keen to explore how architecture and collaboration across the supply chain could enable crypto agility and encapsulated security that can be updated independently, without the need to retest the product's safety and functionality.
