‘Failing to anchor an #EconomicSecurity agenda at the heart of EU policy 2024-2029 would risk ripping wide open the vulnerabilities of today, with existential consequences for Europe,’ emphasise Paweł Świeboda and Georg Emil Riekeles in their latest Framing Paper on economic security.

Navigating the murky waters of global cyber threats is no easy task, especially when those threats can impact international trade and investment. If you're keen to delve deeper into cutting-edge cybersecurity practices that intersect with global commerce, then tomorrow's session at the 1CyberWorld 2023 Global Cyber Conference is not to be missed. On September 15th, from 10:30 am to 11:00 am US ET, Gerald Caron, the Chief Information Officer of the International Trade Administration (ITA), will present a session titled "Zero Trust." Given the ITA's mission to promote U.S. exports, attract investment, and ensure fair trade, this is a session that promises to integrate cybersecurity best practices within the broader context of international trade and compliance. Topics covered in the session will include: - The essentials of the Zero Trust architecture and why it is critical in today's cyber landscape. - How the principles of Zero Trust can be applied to protect sensitive trade data and uphold compliance with international laws and agreements. - Insights into how the ITA integrates Zero Trust into its cybersecurity strategy to protect the international competitiveness of U.S. industry. Considering the International Trade Administration's focus on creating prosperity through promoting and regulating international trade, this session is particularly relevant for business leaders, cybersecurity professionals, and government officials who operate at the intersection of trade and technology. The ITA’s unique position in global markets makes this a golden opportunity to understand how a robust cybersecurity posture supports fair and prosperous international commerce. Zero Trust is not just a cybersecurity strategy; it's a business imperative, particularly for organizations that operate on a global scale. The session by Gerald Caron will provide not just theoretical understanding, but also practical approaches that could be applicable to a wide range of industries and sectors. Join us tomorrow at the 1CyberWorld conference to explore this vital topic. The need for robust cybersecurity frameworks has never been more critical, especially for organizations that have stakes in international markets. Your participation could bring about a seismic shift in how your organization approaches both cybersecurity and global trade. We look forward to your attendance.

Thanks for posting Ted Dziekanowski. This is a subject that we have discussed many times in 2023, through our own papers and with European associations such as the ECIIA | European Confederation of Institutes of Internal Auditing. The impact of European Regulation is much bigger than the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) and compliance by Financial Services Firms. The EU Network Information Security Directive (NIS 2) will likely effect over 50,000 Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) providers across the EU, that includes Banks, Financial Market Infrastructure providers and ICT service management providers. (https://lnkd.in/eQtqxeFf) Veritas GRC has written a compliance program focused on governance, oversight, assurance and attestation required by boards and companies. Addressing compliance with DORA, NIS 2 and the SEC final rule. That we will be publishing within the next quarter. Please do follow us to keep informed. Brian D. McCarthy Rich Waite, M.Ed.

The #EU faces a critical need to align its policies with #economic security demands in its current phase. Failure to do so from 2024 to 2029 could expose vulnerabilities with dire consequences. A #Framing Paper presents 18 #recommendations for this agenda, guiding the EPC's strategic project on economic #security. Collaborative efforts with partners drive expert-led discussions and #policy development to address these #challenges effectively. https://lnkd.in/e5akjhu6

Was proud to add my thoughts to this important look ahead. "Looking into 2024, I think the most important issue for U.S. national security will remain the shifting balance of power between the United States and China. We see this shifting balance impact the war between Russian and Ukraine and Israel and Hamas, where China openly counters U.S. policies with little consequence. We see it in space, cyberspace, trade, diplomacy and every other domain that matters. Unquestionably, China’s economic, military, and diplomatic strength is advancing more rapidly than many Western policy makers realize. Developments in 2023 like a weak and stale Western military industrial base presenting itself in the support for Ukraine, and with China’s ability to support its allies in Russia and the Middle East with little consequence are alarming and new. The United States must advance economic, defense, and foreign policies more rapidly to turn the ship to face its primary adversary directly before it’s too late."
