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

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.

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.
