Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity has become an integral part of national and international politics. The programme works on two focus areas:

• Cybersecurity & Emerging Threats

• International Cybersecurity Policy

The team is regularly interviewed by German (amongst others Tagesthemen), American (for example, the Washington Post and New York Times) and European media (amongst others Politico and Euractiv) and presents its work at national and international events. Members were previously invited to hold presentations or speak at the G7 Ministers Meeting, the German Bundestag, the Cybersecurity Caucus of the American Congress, the European Parliament, or the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE).

The team is always available for national and international media inquiries as well as lectures and presentations. We generally reject invitations to “manels” (all-male panels). Travel and accommodation costs for events to which our team is invited are generally not covered by interface. We recommend CO2 compensation for flights and do not take domestic flights. While we generally refrain from speaking fees for presentations within the fields of politics, academia and civil society, we require a remuneration or donation to interface for invitations from the private sector.

The programme is currently supported by the German Federal Foreign Office, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, and the German Foundation for Peace Research.
