Minister Taro Kono will speak “On a Vison for Ensuring Trusted Data for use by the Japanese Government” at Global Cybersecurity Day Symposium, 8:30 am – 12:00 pm, December 12, 2019 at Loeb House, Harvard University.
Boston Global Forum created the Annual Global Cybersecurity Day in 2015. Every year, on December 12, Boston Global Forum will organize a Global Cybersecurity Day Symposium with topics about cybersecurity and data safety.
This year, the topic is Enhancing Cybersecurity in AI World Society.
Global Cybersecurity Day is meant to inspire the shared responsibility of the world’s citizens to protect the Internet’s safety and transparency. As a part of this initiative, Boston Global Forum (BGF) also calls upon citizens of goodwill everywhere — from ordinary people to leaders — to follow BGF’s Ethics Code of Conduct for Cyber Peace and Security (ECCC).
BGF includes, among others, scholars, business leaders and journalists, and is chaired by former Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis, a national and international civic leader and BGF’s co-founder.
At the Annual Global Cybersecurity Day Symposium, BGF also celebrates and presents the World Leader for Peace and Security Award. This year, President of Latvia and the World Leadership Alliance-Club de Madrid, Vaira Vike-Freiberga, is honored as a World Leader for Peace and Security.
