Secure digital transformation for sustainable development: challenges and opportunities

Ensuring trust and safety in the digital world

(Session co-organized with Microsoft). Digital transformation is changing the world in unprecedented ways. This panel will explore how digital transformation can support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), while addressing the risks and challenges of cybersecurity. You will learn from experts and peers in the cybersecurity and development communities, and discuss how to collaborate on technical, legal, and policy frameworks. The workshop is part of a project by the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs, the Global Forum on Cyber Expertise (GFCE), the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), and Microsoft, which aims to help all countries implement global cybersecurity norms and raise awareness of their link to sustainable development. The project also seeks to raise awareness of the importance of cybersecurity for sustainable development and to foster a dialogue across different sectors and regions.
