This networking reception and panel discussion event will focus this year on the role cybersecurity plays in ensuring trust in our digital economy, the dangers of escalating conflict online, and how technology can further improve the security of our online ecosystem. The panel, moderated by WISeKey, will feature leaders from Cybersecurity Tech Accord signatory companies discussing the cyber elements of the war in Ukraine the implications for industry in the face of hybrid warfare, and the multistakeholder cooperation necessary to establish a rules-based order in cyberspace.
