EWI’s Worldwide Cybersecurity Summit will bring together leaders of governments, businesses and civil society from around the world to determine new measures to ensure the security of the world’s digital infrastructure. 
Electronic attacks around the world have compromised confidential information, crippled official web sites and have exposed the vulnerability of financial data. They have heightened fears that criminals or terrorists could use cyberspace to paralyze communications infrastructure, international financial systems or critical government services.
Despite the severity of these threats, the international community has not come to agreement on how best to deal with them. EWI’s Worldwide Cybersecurity Summit will work to fill this gap, bringing together leaders from the public and private sectors to reframe cybersecurity concerns and to devise collective strategies to address them.
Registration for the summit is now closed. If you would like to attend, please contact us for more information.

EWI’s cybersecurity initiative has already convened several consultations that have brought together key countries such as the U.S., China, Russia and India to begin developing a shared understanding of cyber threats. The Worldwide Cybersecurity Summit will build on these consultations and produce concrete proposals to bring order to this chaotic and increasingly dangerous arena.
Speakers and presenters include:
  • Bob Schieffer, CBS Chief Washington Correspondent

  • Udo Helmbrecht, Executive Director, ENISA

  • Kamlesh Bajaj, CEO, Data Protection Council of India,

  • Michael Dell, Chairman and CEO, Dell, Inc.

  • Howard A. Schmidt, U.S. Cybersecurity Coordinator

  • Randall Stephenson, Chairman and CEO, AT&T

  • Scott Charney, Vice President for Trustworthy Computing, Engineering Excellence, and Environmental Sustainability at Microsoft; former Chief of Computer Crime and Intellectual Property in the Criminal Division of

    the U.S. Department of Justice

  • Melissa Hathaway, Senior Advisor to Project Minerva; former Acting Senior Director for Cyberspace for the U.S. National Security and Homeland Security Councils

While plenary speakers will offer visions for the future of cyberspace, the bulk of the summit will be highly interactive. It will give participants opportunities to collaborate with peers from around the world. The structure has two main components: there are eight sectors, with one or more breakthrough groups within each sector. Participants can expect to work on critical concerns that are stalled or are receiving little to no attention in international diplomatic circles.
The eight sectors are:
  • Information and Communications Technology

  • Financial Services

  • Essential Governmental Services

  • Energy

  • Transportation

  • National Security

  • Media
