Cybersecurity and Digital Risk Resilience Online Workshop 2027
Multilateral Diplomacy
背景信息
The World Economic Forum (WEF)’s “The Future of Jobs Report 2025” projects that 170 million jobs will be created by 2030, while 92 million will be displaced. With the rise of artificial intelligence and rapid advancements in technology, cybersecurity and digital risk have become growing priorities in today's world. As reliance on digital systems expands, so do risks related to data security, privacy, and system vulnerabilities, requiring stronger awareness and response capacities across sectors. In this context, strengthening cybersecurity and digital risk awareness is essential to support secure, reliable, and effective multilateral work.
Information security is no longer solely the responsibility of technical teams. Professionals regularly handle sensitive information and operate across interconnected digital systems. Understanding how organisations manage information risk, and the role each employee plays in reducing it, is therefore becoming essential to protecting operations and maintaining institutional trust.
In line with the Pact for the Future and UN 2.0, this e-workshop Cybersecurity and Digital Risk Resilience: Protecting Organisations, People and Trust will help participants understand key cyber risks and how organisations can strengthen governance, resilience, and risk awareness. The workshop will strengthen participants’ ability to recognise and respond to digital risks, while supporting secure operations and maintaining institutional trust.
