The Charter of Trust hosted the first edition of its CyberTrust Talks series on:

AI & Cybersecurity: A Double-Edged Sword

Date: Thursday, 7th December
Event: Lunch event (12:00-13:30 CET)
Location: Microsoft Centre, Rue Montoyer, 51, 1000 - Brussels

The event, moderated by Dr. Sumit Chanda, Global CISO at Eviden and Co-Chair of Advocacy and Communications Taskforce of the Charter of Trust, addressed the complex and evolving relationship between AI and cybersecurity.

An introductory speech was delivered by Charter of Trust Partner Microsoft's Jeremy Rollison, Head of EU Policy and Senior Director of EU Government Affairs.

The discussion featured esteemed panelists:

Natalia Oropeza, Chairwoman of the Charter of Trust & Global Chief Cybersecurity Officer & Chief Diversity Officer, Siemens AG

The event provided a platform to explore threats and opportunities at the intersection of AI and cybersecurity, as well as the implications of upcoming EU legislation and new governance approaches.

This first edition was a great success with over 90 people attending in-person and online. The key takeaways were:

• AI is shifting the paradigm and changing the whole concept of the computation and cybersecurity​
​
• The technology opens great opportunities but also poses significant risks, which we need to better understand and learn to prevent​
​
• The AI Act is an important milestone in making AI safe and trustworthy, but its implementation may pose challenges for the industry​

• Charter of Trust, as an alliance of global leaders in cybersecurity and AI, can play an important role helping business to ensure trustworthiness of AI and increased cybersecurity

On October 19th 2023, we hosted our latest webinar to discuss how Charter of Trust's approach helps improving cybersecurity by establishing a culture of security by default in businesses’ production chain and using a Secure Development Lifecycle approach.

The Charter of Trust welcomes the Commission’s proposal for horizontal rules introducing cybersecurity requirements for connected products. We believe that improving products and software development practices and transparency will benefit the entire cybersecurity ecosystem. Policymakers should, however, ensure seamless and clear application between the CRA and other product-related and cybersecurity legislations to provide more legal certainty to businesses across the supply chain.
