Global Cyber Alliance and Partners Announce "BEYOND125 Action Plan" to Improve and Protect The Digital Future
Friday, October 4, 2024
THE HAGUE, The Netherlands, Oct. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- On 30 September, the Global Cyber Alliance (GCA), the CyberPeace Institute, and the City of the Hague launched a bold call to action to address critical security threats in the digital world.
Unveiled at "Beyond 125 Years: Securing Our World's Digital Future" at the Peace Palace in The Hague, the BEYOND125 Action Plan calls for global leaders, cyber defenders, and philanthropists to take action to ensure online safety. A critical objective of the Plan is a dedicated fund to finance tools, services, and platforms that enable cybersecurity, and to fund the organizations that build and maintain them. Common Good Cyber, a collective effort by a group of partner nonprofits, will play a pivotal role in establishing and sustaining that fund.
Marina Kaljurand, Member of the European Parliament, noted, "The international community should recognize cybersecurity as a global common good. It is critical not only for protecting IT systems but, also, for ensuring peace, stability, and justice. Therefore, the Common Good Cyber initiative is a historic step in the right direction."
Highlights of the event included:
-- Philip Reitinger, GCA President and CEO, and Stéphane Duguin,
CyberPeace Institute CEO and GCA Strategic Advisor, discussed threats we
all face in today's digital environment, noting that many nonprofits
lack the internal resources to prioritize cybersecurity.
-- Kayle Giroud, Director, Common Good Initiatives at GCA, introduced
Common Good Cyber, its secretariat organizations, and its mandate to
identify and implement innovative models for sustaining those involved
in critical cybersecurity functions.
-- Liga Rozent?le, Director Public Policy, Crowdstrike and GCA Strategic
Advisor, moderated a panel on core infrastructure and the vast network
of nonprofits and NGOs that build and maintain critical components of
our global cybersecurity.
-- GCA Board Chair and Distinguished Fellow, the German Marshall Fund of
the United States, Heli Tiirmaa-Klaar, held a fireside chat with Kathryn
Jones, Head of Cyber Strategy & Engagement, UK Government Foreign,
Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO). The FCDO has pledged a
£300,000 grant to bolster Common Good Cyber. Ms. Jones called on States
to recognize the importance of securing digital infrastructures that
affect civil society and humanitarian efforts and to join with the FCDO
in supporting this initiative.
"GCA's mission is to provide scalable cybersecurity solutions. We are committed to this critical BEYOND125 Action Plan that aligns directly with our mission," said Philip Reitinger, President and CEO of the Global Cyber Alliance. "We aim to foster a safer and united digital future for everyone--especially those most vulnerable--by taking direct action in supporting cybersecurity organizations that work for the Common Good."
