In an effort to lead by example, the Partners of the Charter of Trust are pleased to present a collection of Principle Use Cases.

It is at the heart of the Charter’s mission to help build a more cyber-secure digital ecosystem and we believe our 10 Principles can serve as useful guidelines to companies around the globe to increase their cyber-resilience and future-proof their products and services.

Now, the Principle Use Cases by the Partners of the Charter of Trust offer a new way to see how the Principles can be applied in real life. In these Use Cases, the Partners illustrate the cyber challenges they faced and how the Principles helped them find effective solutions. We hope the Use Cases can inspire and enable others so we can build trust in digital technologies together.

 

So far, there are two Principle Use Cases available for consultation.

AES discusses their approach to on how to have companies increase the cybersecurity awareness of their employees and shares their take on implementing new and innovative training model that drives engagement.

Allianz shares their best practices concerning keeping employees aware of cyber risks and up-to-date with how to self-protect against cyber-attacks.

Atos shares their take on  Threat Intelligence sharing and bringing together experts from various partners and why this is a smart move.

Bosch discusses what approach can businesses take to resolving problems concerning Artificial Intelligence by detailing their experience based on the VCIO approach.

IBM‘s contribution falls on the discussion of how can companies ramp up their cybersecurity capacities and upgrade skills to provide a confident response to incidents. IBM shares their take on how they trained their customers to be proactive responders.

Mitsubishi shares their take on developing a joint approach among partners to establish common cybersecurity awareness practices

NXP Semiconductors shares their take on the varied and diverse security risks with IoT devices and what solutions can be pursued, in particular the implementation of the high security standards for both critical suppliers and own products.

Siemens‘s contribution falls under the scope of the Charter of Trust’s Principle 2 “Responsibility throughout the digital supply chain”.  Drawing from experience, Siemens shares its best practices and lessons learned concerning improving a cybersecurity posture.

TotalEnergies, in line with Charter of Trust’s Principle 2 “Responsibility throughout the digital supply chain”, shares on how they defined a cyber-governance covering their entire organisation.

Stay tuned for more insightful Use Cases to come.

Charter of Trust launches Cyber Deterrence in the private sector

The Charter of Trust has launched its Cyber Deterrence Working Group to address a central gap in today’s cybersecurity landscape: the disconnect between strong defensive investments and the persistent economic attractiveness of cybercrime. The group brings together industry partners to develop and validate practical deterrence methods that raise attacker cost and risk across sectors and borders.

Decrypting the Future: Global Timelines for PostQuantum Cryptography and why they matter

The transition to post-quantum cryptography is not a future problem — it is a present one. The threat of adversaries harvesting encrypted data today for decryption once quantum computing matures means that organizations with long-lived data and systems are already exposed. Waiting for cryptographically relevant quantum computers to arrive before acting is not a viable risk management strategy.



Exposure is not uniform across sectors. Financial services, government and defense, operational technology, and healthcare face the sharpest quantum risk, driven by decades-long data retention obligations, slow system replacement cycles, and the societal consequences of cryptographic failure. For these sectors, PQC readiness has moved from best practice to strategic imperative.



Globally, the direction of travel is clear. The United States, European Union, United Kingdom, Singapore, and Australia have each established structured PQC transition frameworks, with mandatory deadlines converging around the late 2020s and 2030. Organizations operating across jurisdictions should expect compounding compliance requirements and align migration plans accordingly.



At the same time, the geopolitical dimension of PQC standardization is becoming increasingly salient. The emergence of a “splinternet” infrastructure, characterized by regionally fragmented digital ecosystems, suggests that cryptographic standards diverge along political and strategic lines. As a result, organizations must not only manage technical migration but also navigate a politically charged landscape in which interoperability, regulatory alignment, and long-term cryptographic agility become critical strategic considerations.



This paper offers a comparative overview of regional PQC transition frameworks and identifies the business and systemic risks associated with quantum-vulnerable cryptography, providing insights for organizations preparing for the transition to post-quantum cryptography. Overall, PQC migration is a strategic transformation, not a technical patch. Cryptographic inventory, governance structures, crypto-agility, and supply chain engagement are as central to success as algorithm selection — and organizations that treat PQC readiness as an architectural and organizational challenge will be best positioned as quantum risks continue to mature.
