Cybersecurity in 2022 Event Visual

This roundtable will look ahead to 2022 and what we can expect as both diplomats and cybersecurity experts face the challenge of how to best regulate new technology at the international level. We will assess what will be debated by a new Open-ended Working Group, which is tasked to hold its sessions from 2021 to 2025, and in the UN cybercrime treaty negotiations kicking off in January. We will analyze the coming elections for a new Secretary General of the International Telecommunication Union and identify other key dates in 2022 that may constitute important milestones for cybersecurity. We will also discuss which cyber threats may become most prominent in the course of the year and how we can prevent cyber incidents from happening by forging a more secure cyberspace.
