The current COVID 19 crisis has led to an exponential increase in the numbers of WFH – people working from home – to safeguard public health. At the same time, there is an increased risk in terms of Cybersecurity.
This is predominantly caused by two factors:
- The re-distribution of workplaces away from the office and the spike in using virtual collaboration platforms has substantially widened the attack surface. This can threaten the digital infrastructure we now rely on more than ever for business continuity. It could even threaten critical infrastructure and provision of critical services, if not addressed pro-actively.
- The COVID 19 crisis provides adversaries with new opportunities for targeted attacks, whether these are phishing emails or targeted scams. These tactics are intended to take advantage of citizens who are naturally concerned about their health and safety and are particularly vulnerable.

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 will also be discussed during our next Security-by-default Webinar taking place on the 29th of October. Sign up to find out more what the Charter of Trust Partners views are on how to prepare for NIS2 and other regulations: https://lnkd.in/eh_z8Z63
