    Cyber Diplomacy and Trust with H.E. José Manuel Barroso

    How is diplomacy evolving as Cyberspace becomes central to national defense and global security? José Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission (2004-2014) and Prime Minister of Portugal (2002-2004), shares his perspective on how cyber capabilities are reshaping geopolitics and international relations. Drawing on decades of experience at the highest levels of global governance, he explores the growing asymmetry between nations’ cyber capabilities, the integration of cybersecurity into defense and diplomatic strategy, and how developing nations can strengthen their competitiveness and influence in an increasingly interconnected world. From cyber diplomacy and public-private cooperation to the idea of cybersecurity as a global public good, Barroso reflects on why cooperation remains essential in an evolving geopolitical landscape, and underscores the importance of coordinated action between governments, industry, and civil society to address shared cyber risks.

    Statecraft as a Framework for Resilience with H.E. Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović

    How can nations strengthen their collective cyber resilience at a time of increased geopolitical competition and an evolving threat landscape? Her Excellency Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović, President of Croatia (2015-2020), reflects on lessons from diplomacy and conflict resolution to find shared priorities for a more secure Cyberspace. Drawing on her experience as Croatia’s first woman president during a period of rapid cyber transformation, Grabar-Kitarović argues that cybersecurity has evolved beyond a technical issue into a core pillar of national security and international stability. She also highlights the importance of building trust to enhance threat prevention, knowledge sharing, and cross-border cooperation, defining these as essential components of a more cyber resilient world.

    Cybercrime and International Law Enforcement with Dr. Jürgen Stock

    How are global law enforcement tactics adapting to the fast-evolving nature of cybercrime? Dr. Jürgen Stock, Secretary General of INTERPOL (2014-2024), offers an inside perspective on the biggest challenges to foster a more rapid global response to cybercrime. Drawing on more than a decade at the helm of international law enforcement, he shares insights into the growing sophistication of tech-driven cybercrime, the major cyber capacity disparities between nations, and the pressing need for deeper intelligence sharing across borders. From fragmentation in response systems to the rise of “cybercrime as a service,” Dr. Stock explores why collaboration, coordination, and communication are indispensable to global cybersecurity – particularly as emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and quantum computing are reshaping the threat landscapes.

    Protecting Children in Cyberspace with Sheema Sen Gupta

    How can societies better protect children in a world where cyber risks are both borderless and rapidly evolving? Sheema Sen Gupta, Director of Child Protection and Migration at UNICEF, joins the Rethinking Cyber podcast to examine the complex threats children face in Cyberspace and how nations and organizations can cooperate to keep them safe. Drawing on more than 25 years’ experience at UNICEF advocating for child rights in complex humanitarian contexts, Sen Gupta highlights critical gaps in awareness, reporting, and platform design, explaining why parents, educators, governments, and tech companies all have a stake in strengthening child online protection. She also points to actionable solutions like cyber skills training, safety-by-design in tech, and cross-border cooperation on reporting mechanisms and helplines, making the case for a whole-of-society approach that puts children at the center of cybersecurity decision-making.

    Reimagining National Security in Cyberspace with Robert Hannigan

    How can nations maintain cyber resilience when technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing are evolving faster than regulation? Robert Hannigan, Director of GCHQ (2014-2017) - the UK's intelligence, security and cyber agency - looks at what lessons can be learned from the decades before AI to build long-term security. Drawing on his experience in policy development, Hannigan poses that the nature of Cyberspace requires governments and the private sector to join efforts to secure infrastructure and economies. He also highlights the need to ensure that technology itself is designed securely, while building resilience into physical and cyber infrastructure. As agentic AI accelerates in sophistication, Hannigan makes the case for keeping human judgment, ethics, and oversight at the center of cybersecurity strategies.

    Industrial Cybersecurity by Design: Embedding Trust in Critical Systems with Andrew Kling

    How can global industries keep their critical systems operating safely and avoid costly, disruptive downtime as cyber risks evolve? Andrew Kling, Director of Cybersecurity and Architecture at Schneider Electric, examines the evolving complexities shaping industrial cybersecurity as operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) converge – from regulatory compliance and evolving cybersecurity standards to risk management, threat awareness, and preparedness. Drawing on decades of experience across multiple industries and in international standards development, Kling explores how secure-by-design - a “shift-left” approach that embeds cybersecurity at an early stage and anticipates threats - can build resilience into the industrial control systems (ICS) powering our critical infrastructure. Looking to the future, he also speaks of the important role of multistakeholder collaboration as cyber threats and technologies evolve. Brought to you by GCF’s Operational Technology Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (OTC-CoE), the OT Cyber Brief podcast shares insights from industry leaders and experts on global priorities in OT cybersecurity.
