Governments around the world are accelerating digital transformation initiatives, including cloud migration and the adoption of artificial intelligence across public services. While these efforts create significant opportunities to improve service delivery, efficiency, and innovation, they also introduce new and increasingly complex cybersecurity and information security challenges.

This roundtable will explore how cybersecurity can be embedded from the earliest stages of planning and design, ensuring that it serves as an enabler—rather than a barrier—to innovation and digital transformation. The discussion will focus on how governments can develop advanced digital services that are secure, resilient, trusted, and citizen-centric.
