Between 14 and 24 June, representatives from Partner companies around the world gathered virtually for the Charter of Trust’s second Collaboration Week of the year. Principle Taskforces came together with the aim of further building up the strategic priorities of the Charter of Trust. The Charter of Trust also had the opportunity to welcome global cybersecurity experts, whose vibrant and insightful presentations fed into the overall discussion.
Public and private organisations around the globe are increasingly witnessing a sharp rise in cyberattacks, even more so since the beginning of the pandemic. The recent Kaseya ransomware supply-chain attack highlights once again the need to increase cybersecurity efforts across all sectors. Collaboration and knowledge exchange are key pathways for the industry and other organisations to share best practices and collectively raise resilience against a growing and complex threat landscape.
Over the course of two weeks that were filled with working sessions and discussions , Charter of Trust Partners met in taskforces each dedicated to one of the 10 Principles. The Principle Taskforces that were active during this Collaboration Week included: Principle 2 “Responsibility throughout the digital supply chain”, Principle 3 “Security by default”, Principle 6 “Education”, Principle 7 “Certification for critical infrastructure and solutions”, and Principle 8 “Transparency and response”. The Principle Taskforces took stock of the work done since the previous Collaboration Week in January 2021 and set concrete objectives for the coming months leading towards the next Collaboration Week in 2022.
Charter of Trust Partners discussed ongoing developments and cooperation initiatives with Associated Partners within the Associated Partner Forum (APF). The APF welcomed CyberNB and the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) as new members of the APF. Among the other Associated Partners present were Germany’s Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), the Hasso Plattner Institute and Japan’s Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC).
One of the key highlights of the Collaboration Week is the series of keynote speeches provided by an impressive line-up of top cybersecurity experts which sparked discussions within the taskforces on the various challenges and opportunities currently faced by the sector. The Charter of Trust was pleased and honoured to host:
- John Hering, Senior Government Affairs Manager, Digital Diplomacy at Microsoft
- Annalaura Gallo, Senior Consultant, APCO
- Philippe Blot, Lead Expert on Certification, the ENISA (European Union Agency for Cybersecurity)
- Adam Montville, Chief Product Architect for Best Practices at the Centre for Internet Security

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.
