A cyber community of collective action

The Compass is a global community of cybersecurity experts from government, the intelligence community, venture capital funds and multinational companies, spanning sectors from professional services to energy. As a group, we explore, debate, discuss and take collective action on the forces shaping cyber resilience today and in the future — from geopolitics, deglobalisation and the march of frontier technologies like quantum computing and AI.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM LAST YEAR'S SUMMIT

In 2022, collective cyber resilience was the core theme and principle for the Compass community. Resilience is the ability to anticipate, withstand, respond and adapt. It requires organisations to plan, share experiences, define standards and identify key priorities - and learn from their failures.
