We are proud to share that Charter of Trust partners actively contributed during the G7-focused workshop entitled “International Cybersecurity Regulatory Dialogue,” organised by Wilton Park and LSE on September 3-4 in the UK.

The event gathered high level representatives from G7 governments, industry and academia to discuss and identify opportunities to improve international coordination and reciprocity of cybersecurity regulations, including with respect to AI’s impact on cybersecurity. As part of this workshop, our Charter of Trust Partners highlighted the importance of advancing greater international alignment of cybersecurity regulations by providing concrete examples of challenges and risks posed by regulatory fragmentation faced by industries operating at a global level.

We hope the insights from this event will inspire our policy leaders to drive international cybersecurity regulatory alignment in the coming months. As always, the Charter of Trust remains a key alliance and an active participant in furthering the international public-private dialogue.

We are excited about the potential impact of these discussions and look forward to driving meaningful progress in international cybersecurity regulation.

We are thrilled to announce that Danfoss has officially joined the Charter of Trust alliance, further strengthening our commitment to advancing harmonised cybersecurity approaches to make the digital world of tomorrow safer.

The Charter of Trust is an industry alliance that brings together leading global companies to help establish and promote the highest standards of cybersecurity: “We are delighted to welcome Danfoss as part of the Charter of Trust. Their commitment to cybersecurity and their unique experience and expertise will further strengthen our collective efforts,” says Natalia Oropeza, Chairwoman of the Charter of Trust.

"At Danfoss, we engineer solutions that increase machine productivity, reduce emissions, lower energy consumption, and enable electrification. In an increasingly connected landscape, cybersecurity is crucial, and we firmly believe that overcoming cybersecurity challenges can only be achieved through collaboration and collective effort. Joining the Charter of Trust enables us to collaborate with industry leaders, share best practices, and address evolving cyber threats together," says Morten Pors Simonsen, Chief Information Officer, Danfoss.

Yesterday we celebrated the next generation of cybersecurity talents at the "Empowering the Next Generation of Cybersecurity Talent" event, co-organized by SANS Institute, Allianz Technology and The Charter of Trust. This event was a pivotal gathering focused on addressing the critical shortage of skilled professionals in the cybersecurity field. It was a formidable opportunity to bring together industry leaders, educators and public authorities to celebrate the graduation of aspiring cybersecurity youngsters from the CyberTalent programme and discuss future opportunities in cybersecurity education and careers.

🚀 We had the pleasure of welcoming our new graduates from diverse backgrounds and hear about their journey and ambitions in becoming skilled cybersecurity professionals.

The graduation ceremony was followed by a high-level panel discussion moderated by María del Pino González-Junco with the experts from both industry and public sector Maria Manuela Catrina, Patrick Zeitz, Ian R., Dimitra Liveri and Dr Sumit Chanda who shared insights on bridging the cybersecurity skills gap and fostering a diverse and inclusive workforce. The main takeaways from this exchange:

Different ways of thinking - "Cybersecurity skills can be taught, but the strategic mindset and the hunger to learn more certainly not". This shows the value of such initiatives like the CyberTalent, different backgrounds, different forms of tackling problems and the desire to excel can get you everywhere in cybersecurity.

Soft skills - "What we need in Cybersecurity right now are not only hard technical skills, but soft skills like communications, public affairs, public relations, creativity". Back in the day, almost everyone in cybersecurity had a degree in computer science, but those times are long gone. Talents like we have them gathered here today are the future and build the backbone of our security systems tomorrow.

Human-centred - "2/3 of all data breaches involve some form of human element". This shows that cybersecurity must go a long way to make it more human-centred. A culture of failure must be embraced and openness to constructive knowledge sharing after attacks. This is what the Charter of Trust stands for and wholeheartedly welcomes this new generation of open-minded cyber-talents.

We thank SANS Institute and Allianz for organizing this wonderful event and congratulate everyone graduating from the CyberTalents academy. We cannot wait to see, where your journey will lead you, but we are sure that your contributions to cybersecurity will be most needed.
