Beyond 125 Years

Securing our Digital Future

Join us to Transform Cybersecurity Funding for Global Peace and Justice

125 years ago, The Hague hosted the first Peace Convention, leading to the establishment of the Permanent Court of Arbitration, the Peace Palace, and a worldwide ecosystem dedicated to peace and justice.

Today, as we navigate a digitised world, the vision of peace and justice is under threat. A fragmented, under-resourced architecture faces relentless cyberattacks, jeopardising international organisations, nonprofits, and volunteers who support access to clean water, humanitarian aid, healthcare, justice, and refugee protection. Their cybersecurity remains an undervalued universal good.

Global commitment is crucial.

Join the City of The Hague, the CyberPeace Institute, and the Global Cyber Alliance at “Beyond 125 Years – Securing our Digital Future.” This is more than an event; it’s a call to action. Building on successful initiatives like CyberPeace Builders and Common Good Cyber, we are rallying global leaders, cyber defenders, and philanthropies to pledge and endorse the creation of a fund for cybersecurity as a common good.

Together, we can uphold the ideals of peace and justice by securing resources’ in this digital age to protect the most vulnerable.

Common Good Cyber Track Session

at RSA Conference 2024

Current investments do not adequately support Internet-enabled social and economic progress for everyone. Internet resilience depends on the voluntary contributions of many people, and the resources supporting resilience are razor-thin. What can be done to institutionalize support for common good cybersecurity – to build adequate funding into law and policy, business processes, and government?

Moderator: Phil Reitinger, Global Cyber Alliance

Speakers: 

Camille Stewart, The White House
