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.

Cybersecurity Awareness Month

We are in the middle of Hashtag#CyberSecurityAwarnessMonth and many of our Charter of Trust Partners are promoting it with great initiatives. One of the programs that we want to highlight is last week’s panel organized by Allianz talking about “Security in light of (gen)AI”.

The complexity and urgency of this topic gathered a lot of interest, with 600+ attendees throughout the whole panel, which was composed of Jon-Paul Jones, COO at AZ Commercial, Firas Ben Hassan, GenAI expert & Manager of AllianzGPT at AZ Technology, Dr. Martin J. Krämer, External Security Awareness Advocate at KnowBe4, and Dr Sumit Chanda, Global CISO at Eviden & Chair of the Global External Engagement Working Group at the Charter of Trust.

We are pleased to see Dr. Sumit Chanda from Eviden bringing in his unique CISO insight on what these emerging technologies mean in day-to-day cybersecurity practices and bringing in the Charter of Trust perspective on this topic as well.

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.
