Earlier this week in Geneva, IAPH’s Data Collaboration Committee chairman Pascal Ollivier attended the World Economic Forum (WEF) annual meeting on Cybersecurity coinciding with the launch of their whitepaper Unpacking Cyber Resilience. The paper calls for a broader understanding of cyber resilience that goes beyond cybersecurity, defining it as an organisation’s ability to minimise the impact of significant cyber incidents on its primary goals and objectives. Pascal moderated the panel ‘Anchoring cybersecurity in ports and industrial clusters’ with Yannick Herrebaut, chief information security officer at the Port of Antwerp- Bruges, Dr Bushra AlBlooshi, director of cybersecurity governance risk management at Dubai Electronic Security Center and UAE official council member on the Global Future Council on Cybersecurity, and Leo Simonovich, vice president and global head, industrial cyber and digital security, Siemens Energy. Pascal re-emphasised that building cyber resilience is a leadership issue requiring flexible strategies and sharing lessons learned among industry peers. The WEF whitepaper crosses industries, government agencies and technology innovators, as is reflected in its authorship. To download the report, click here.
