The Charter of Trust is delighted to welcome the CyberNB, the CyberPeace Institute, the Cyber Readiness Institute, and the Global Cyber Alliance to its Associated Partner Forum (APF). The APF brings together the Charter’s member companies with regulators, academic institutions, and think tanks to facilitate senior-level discussions and an exchange of views on cybersecurity issues.

CyberNB was founded in 2016 to fill a crucial gap in Canada’s cybersecurity ecosystem, providing a single overarching organization working on behalf of all stakeholders. Since then, they have developed an extensive national and international network of partners and collaborators in business, government and academia. A dynamic non-profit, they are a connector and multiplier for the collective advancement of Canada’s booming cybersecurity sector. 

The CyberPeace Institute is an independent and neutral nongovernmental organization whose mission is to ensure the rights of people to security, dignity and equity in cyberspace. The Institute works in close collaboration with relevant partners to reduce the harms from cyberattacks on people’s lives worldwide. By analyzing cyberattacks, the Institute exposes their societal impact, how international laws and norms are being violated, and advances responsible behavior to enforce cyberpeace. 

The Cyber Readiness Institute (CRI) brings together the expertise of senior executive leaders at global companies – including Mastercard, Microsoft, ExxonMobil, Principal Financial Group, General Motors, PSP Partners, and the Center for Global Enterprise – to develop free resources to improve the cyber readiness of small and medium-sized enterprises to secure global value chains. 

The Global Cyber Alliance aims at reducing cyber risk by building practical, measurable solutions and tools that are easy to use, and works with partners to accelerate adoption around the world. The GCA has built a partnership network that spans every sector and more than 30 countries, bringing together partners and professional communities to provide concrete, measurable solutions to reduce cyber risk. From New York, London, Brussels, and around the globe, we unite the best and brightest cyber minds to do good.  

Additional APF members include the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security, Spain’s Centro Criptológico Nacional (CCN), Germany’s Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), the Hasso Plattner Institute (HPI), the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) of Japan, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) of Japan, and Technical University Graz (TU Graz). 

The Partners of the Charter of Trust are grateful to have this trusted network of Associated Partners supporting the Charter’s mission to build trust in the digital world.

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.

Cybersecurity Awareness Month

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.
