The Geneva Manual: How Do Cyber Norms Guide Us In Protecting Critical Infrastructure? Singapore International Cyber Week
Cyber threats targeting critical infrastructure (CI) and assets have become the ‘new normal’ in today’s heightened geopolitical climate, often going undetected by the victims. To maintain international security and peace, do both state and non-state stakeholders understand the right measures to secure critical assets? How do the agreed cyber norms support operators of critical facilities and other relevant stakeholders? What key questions should actors focus on to reduce harm from cyber threats affecting CI?
The gathering will explore these questions in the context of the Geneva Manual on Responsible Behavior in Cyberspace, a comprehensive guide for implementing cyber norms and confidence-building measures (CBMs) by non-state stakeholders. Launched by the Geneva Dialogue—established by the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs and led by DiploFoundation with support from the Republic and State of Geneva, the Center for Digital Trust (C4DT) at EPFL, Swisscom, and UBS—the Geneva Dialogue is a global initiative engaging over 50 organizations and experts representing diverse stakeholder groups worldwide.
This session addresses the zero draft of the new Geneva Manual chapters on critical infrastructure protection, focusing on the practical implementation of relevant cyber norms. The discussion helps collect the necessary input to finalize the next chapter of the Manual.

Beyond 125 Years: Securing our World’s Digital Future
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.
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.
