Webinar: "Security by Default in view of major Cybersecurity Regulations in Asia"
Yesterday, the Charter of Trust hosted a virtual panel discussion titled “Security by Default in View of Major Cybersecurity Regulations in Asia”, moderated by Sudhir Ethiraj from TÜV SÜD. This discussion brought together leading policymakers and industry experts to delve into the evolving landscape of cybersecurity regulations and foster actionable collaboration aimed at strengthening global cyber resilience.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to our distinguished panellists: Veronica Tan from the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore, S.S. Sarma and Ashutosh Bahuguna from CERT-In, Amitava Mukherjee and Didier Ludwig from Siemens, and Ki Hyun Park from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
Their insightful contributions covered the development and implementation of various cybersecurity regulations in Asia, sparking a truly engaging and interactive session. With roughly 80 participants, primarily from Asia, the discussion was enriched by thought-provoking questions from the audience, underscoring the urgent need for such dialogues.
The discussion covered a wide array of crucial topics. The panellists explored various regulatory frameworks that govern critical infrastructure in different Asian countries, examining the importance of establishing baseline requirements and adopting a risk-based approach across various industries to enhance cyber resilience.
A consensus emerged that security by default must be ingrained in the culture, while considering the essential role of regional context for effective implementation.

Collaboration Week 2025: Strengthening Bonds, Shaping the Future
Charter of Trust partners unite in Denmark for a three-day deep dive into cybersecurity collaboration.
Collaboration Week 2025 brought together representatives from all Charter of Trust member organizations for an intensive three-day summit hosted in Denmark. This event serves as a cornerstone of our alliance—an opportunity to connect, align, and advance our shared mission of building a safer digital world.
This year’s agenda was designed to elevate our collective efforts in tackling today’s most urgent cybersecurity challenges. From artificial intelligence and emerging technologies to supply chain security, harmonized regulations, security-by-default practices, and future-focused education and advocacy, the sessions sparked meaningful dialogue and strategic alignment across working groups.
What emerged from these discussions was a powerful reminder: coordinated, purpose-driven collaboration is essential to building and sustaining digital trust. The impact of our joint efforts continues to grow as we share expertise, synchronize our actions, and lead by example.
A heartfelt thank you to Danfoss for hosting this year's event and offering an inspiring behind-the-scenes tour of their data centre. Their hospitality and commitment to innovation set the perfect tone for our discussions.

Thematic Dinner at MSC 2025
Strengthening Global Cybersecurity: Charter of Trust’s Thematic Dinner at MSC
At this year’s Munich Security Conference, the Charter of Trust hosted its annual Thematic Dinner, focusing on the theme: “From Cyber Fences to Defences: Reversing Cyber Policy Fragmentation.”
With cybersecurity at the forefront of global security discussions, the event brought together high-ranking representatives from NATO, the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA), the European External Action Service, national cybersecurity authorities, military leaders, and parliamentary officials. Their expertise contributed to a series of insightful discussions on strengthening international cyber resilience.
Key Takeaways from the Discussion
The increasing threat of cyber-attacks and disinformation poses a significant risk to economies and democracies. There is an urgent need for a coordinated and robust global response to mitigate these threats and establish clear consequences for malicious cyber activities.
Public-private cooperation plays a crucial role in cyber defence. The private sector possesses essential technological capabilities that must be leveraged to enhance the security of information systems, economic infrastructure, and democratic institutions.
Artificial intelligence is emerging as a critical battleground in cybersecurity. Protecting critical infrastructure with quantum-cryptographic security will be essential to counter evolving cyber threats effectively.
This event marked the conclusion of an exceptionally productive month for the Charter of Trust, which included:
This dinner was the perfect end for a very successful month in which the Charter of Trust held its Board of Directors meeting electing new co-chairs, the Security by Default working group published its sixth report (available on our website) and held a high-level panel discussion at Hashtag#MCSC, and several CISOs and CSOs from the Charter of Trust Partners published a playbook talking about cybersecurity and hybrid threats.
