CREST Visits the UN

CREST recently visited the UN to take part in discussions throughout the day as part of the UN’s cyber focus group.

The UN’s cyber focused open ended working group is working towards international agreement on key cyber capability development priorities.

CREST President, Rowland Johnson, and CEO, Nick Benson, attended the working group at the UN HQ in NY on 10 May 2024. Rowland presented on the benefits of consistent international standards for high quality cyber service providers and practitioners.

We were also honoured to be referenced by the UK’s representative who sited the valuable contribution of non-profits including CREST, Global Cyber Alliance, Shadowserver and FIRST.
