The Charter of Trust is delighted to share the news that its Partner SGS and its Associated Partner Graz University of Technology announced the opening of Lamarr Security Research, a non-profit and independent cybersecurity research center.
Lamarr Security Research will become the heart of the international Cybersecurity Campus Graz, opened by SGS and TU Graz in 2019, and sets a new milestone in the strong partnership between both institutions. The center is named after Austrian-born Hollywood actress and inventor Hedy Lamarr, who inspired the world with her curiosity for novel technologies, and who pioneered the invention of secure systems.
As a cybersecurity research and development hub, Lamarr Security Research is going to make its results available to all, fostering open research and bringing value to society. SGS will be responsible for Lamarr’s business and administrative management and contribute SGS’s expertise in testing and verification. TU Graz will spearhead Lamarr’s research program with its experience in cutting-edge cybersecurity research. Thanks to this partnership and Lamarr’s plans to closely collaborate with start-ups and businesses, the research center will be an accelerator for transferring academic research results to industry products and services.
In an information society where computer systems influence almost all parts of everyday life, and where cybersecurity threats are increasing, security and privacy protection are some of the highest goods. SGS and TU Graz share the vision that innovation, privacy, and transpareny can only be achieved together through the highest standards in independent research, testing, and verification. With their joint effort, both partners respond to current challenges in cybersecurity, and reaffirm their commitment to create trust in digital technologies – the founding principle of the Charter of Trust.
If you are interested in the opportunity to partner with Lamarr Security Research, please get in touch with us or visit lamarr.at.

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 have been discussed during our Security-by-default Webinar on the 29th of October. See the events section on this website to find the recording of the webinar.
