On December 3, the Charter of Trust held its Madrid Roadshow as part of the cybersecurity event XIV STIC CCN-CERT Conference 2020, organized by the Information Security Incident Response Team of Spain's National Cryptologic Centre (CCN).

We were delighted that around 450 people attended our event, at which Lucio González Jiménez, the CyberLab Manager at SGS, gave the opening speech that discussed the Spanish Cybersecurity Strategy and supply chain problems. This was followed by a debate focused on the digital supply chain and transparency. Panelists discussed how the Charter of Trust’s 10 Principles fit with the Spanish Cybersecurity Strategy, especially in terms of unity of action, anticipation, efficiency, and resilience.

CCN and CoT’s Partners Siemens, Atos, IBM, and SGS underlined the importance of sharing information not only between large private companies, but also between companies and public entities. For a cybersecurity strategy to be successful, panelists agreed that promoting a unity of response was key. This is why cybersecurity actors should collaborate to establish common guidelines for dealing with cybersecurity threats.

CoT’s Partner SGS also contributed a presentation titled “Criminals are not waiting for Regulations: All of us need to act now!” given by Alberto Fuentes Rodríguez, SGS’s Head of Secure Products & Systems. With this, we highlighted the importance of security measures that industries must implement in the face of current cybersecurity threats.

Chairwoman Natalia Oropeza in Brandeins Magazine

We're thrilled to announce that our Charter of Trust Chairwoman Natalia Oropeza has been featured in the annual IT edition of the brand eins magazine!

In an interview with Dorit Kowitz, Natalia dives deep into the pressing issues facing the cybersecurity landscape, explaining how the Charter of Trust bundles the expertise of different businesses across several regions to stay resilient in the face of evolving threats. As Natalia Oropeza says: "We all win if cybercrime doesn’t win."

Here are three key insights from her interview:
🔑 Collaboration is essential: No single organization can tackle cyber threats alone. The Charter of Trust is a prime example that businesses nowadays are more transparent when it comes to attacks and that sharing information in this field can be beneficial.
🔑 Addressing the digital skills gap: The Charter of Trust is working to address the global shortage of cybersecurity professionals by encouraging diversity and actively promoting opportunities for women to join the field.
🔑 Unified regulations: Harmonizing global cybersecurity standards will reduce vulnerabilities, helping businesses and governments combat threats more effectively.

We are in the middle of Hashtag#CyberSecurityAwarnessMonth and many of our Charter of Trust Partners are promoting it with great initiatives. One of the programs that we want to highlight is last week’s panel organized by Allianz talking about “Security in light of (gen)AI”.

The complexity and urgency of this topic gathered a lot of interest, with 600+ attendees throughout the whole panel, which was composed of Jon-Paul Jones, COO at AZ Commercial, Firas Ben Hassan, GenAI expert & Manager of AllianzGPT at AZ Technology, Dr. Martin J. Krämer, External Security Awareness Advocate at KnowBe4, and Dr Sumit Chanda, Global CISO at Eviden & Chair of the Global External Engagement Working Group at the Charter of Trust.

We are pleased to see Dr. Sumit Chanda from Eviden bringing in his unique CISO insight on what these emerging technologies mean in day-to-day cybersecurity practices and bringing in the Charter of Trust perspective on this topic as well.

Thank you, Ervin Cihan and Haydn Griffiths for inviting other CoT Partners and for the great initiatives that Allianz is putting together within this year’s Security Awareness Month. And special thanks to Heather Armond for the great moderation.
