On February 25, the Charter of Trust held its latest virtual Brussels Roadshow, on the theme of ‘Raising the Bar in Cybersecurity Resilience’.
Over 140 people from across the Charter of Trust’s membership, the EU institutions, and the broader ecosystem of Brussels-based stakeholders tuned in to hear Natalia Oropeza, Chief Cybersecurity Officer and Chief Diversity Officer from Siemens, preview the direction of the Charter in 2021. She was followed by Lorena Boix Alonso, Director for Digital Society, Trust & Cybersecurity at the European Commission, who discussed the Commission’s plans for cybersecurity, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the SolarWinds hack.
Our first panel looked at the role of certification in raising resilience. Andreas Mitrakas from ENISA emphasised the role of trust in cybersecurity and outlined the approach taken by ENISA towards certification schemes. Representatives from Charter of Trust Partners NXP Semiconductors and SGS gave their perspectives, touching on the need for certification schemes to be implemented across the risk spectrum and emphasising the importance of edge computing.
On the second panel, Charter of Trust Partners Atos and IBM, as well as Prof Stefan Mangard from TU Graz, addressed the human element of cybersecurity. They touched on the use of AI to support human efforts to combat cybercrime, collaboration between industry and academia, and the role of collaboration hubs in sharing threat intelligence and improving collaboration overall. A key takeaway was the importance of the cultural context when it comes to working with technology.
The third panel looked at what lessons could be drawn for supply chains from the SolarWinds attack. Siemens, TÜV SÜD and AES, all Charter of Trust Partners, emphasised that no organisation had zero risk of being attacked. They discussed the implications of different levels of risk, the need for metrics and data related to cyberattacks, and outlined some of the ways that the Charter of Trust has sought to help provide an approach for medium- and low-risk targets.
The Charter of Trust will be looking at all these topics in more depth over the coming months. To keep informed, sign up to our newsletter and follow us on Twitter and LinkedIn.

36th Cyber Security Day: Working together for more resilience in the digital future
Strong networks and effective cooperation are the key to successfully shaping the digital future in Germany. Cybersecurity is a team effort, and that was again visible last week at the 36th Cyber Security Day in Berlin.
🌐On 26 September 2024, the Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI), Alliance for Cyber Security, and the DIHK invited experts, companies, authorities and political decision-makers to jointly strengthen Germany's cyber resilience.
The event was a great mix of policy debate, practical exchange, workshop and networking under the motto ‘Stronger Together: Greater Resilience through Cooperation’.
✨ One of the highlights of the day was the closing panel with Claudia Plattner, President of the BSI, Dr. Stefan Saatmann, Deputy Head Berlin Office at Siemens, Konstantin von Notz, Member of the Bundestag for B90/Greens, and Alexander von Gernler, German Informatics Society, interchanging ideas to foster resilience through collaboration. Initiatives like the CoT baseline requirements and its huge potential for international harmonizing cybersecurity regulations were discussed as well.
Let’s all work together so that closer cooperation between the BSI and businesses bring more tangible effects to increase digital resilience. Special thanks to Nils Hasenau for providing the excellent photos and also to Simon Ulmer and Ralf König for attending the event.

Nordic Cyber Summit 2024
The Charter of Trust at the Nordic Cyber Summit
What a great opportunity for Morten Kromann, Head of Industrial Security Denmark at Siemens, to present the Charter of Trust perspective on cybersecurity regulations like Hashtag#NIS2 at the Nordic Cyber Summit in Copenhagen.
This year the summit was again a formidable event to engage with top cybersecurity experts, share insights, and discuss strategies to navigate the ever-evolving threat landscape in the Nordic region with the theme “Fortifying the Future: Building Cyber Resilience in a Transformed World”.
A main aspect highlighted by Morten was the discrepancies between the NIS2 directive’s incidents reporting timeframe and related provisions adopted in other legislations. These regulatory overlaps create difficult compliance environments for industry and costly operational pressures which add to the fragmentation of the market instead of harmonizing it. That is why the Charter of Trust emphasizes streamlining reporting requirements stemming from these different legislative frameworks and developing single entry points for reporting on the national level.
These and more points have been discussed during our Security-by-default Webinar on the 29th of October. See the events section on this website to find the recording of the webinar.
