The Charter of Trust

The digital world is changing everything. Billions of devices are connected by the Internet of Things. That holds great potential for everyone, but also great risk. The risk of exposure to cyber-attacks. The risk of losing control over the systems that run our infrastructures. Cybersecurity is and has to be more than a seat belt or an airbag for our data; it’s a factor that’s crucial to the success of the digital economy. People and organizations need to trust that their digital technologies are safe and secure; otherwise they won’t embrace the digital transformation. That’s why we are developing a Charter of Trust bearing the principles that are fundamental to a secure digital world.

The Charter of Trust will focus on:

three goals

• Protecting the data of individuals and companies

• Preventing harm to people, companies and infrastructures

• Establishing a reliable foundation on which confidence in a networked digital world can take root and grow

• Responsibility throughout the digital supply chain

• Security by default

• User-centricity

• Innovation and co-creation

• Education

• Certification for critical infrastructure and solutions
