WISeKey Hosted its Second Cybersecurity Tech Accord Gathering in Davos
Participants shared their vision of twenty-first-century cybersecurity and discussed the need for industry leadership and responsibility in a new domain of conflict
Davos, Switzerland – January 22, 2020 – WISeKey International Holding Ltd (“WISeKey”) (SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ: WKEY), a leading global cybersecurity and IoT company, hosted its second annual panel discussion for the Cybersecurity Tech Accord in Davos. This networking reception and panel discussion event focused on the role cybersecurity plays in ensuring trust in our digital economy, how technology can further improve the security of our online ecosystem, and the role it can play in achieving the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), with a special focus on promoting peace, justice, and strong institutions. The event was part of WISeKey’s roundtable discussion series: “Deep Tech for a Sustainable Era.”
Similar to last year, the 2020 event was attended by over 500 business and political leaders, economists and senior officials from private and public organizations, who were in Davos for the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting.
Hosted by WISeKey, the Cybersecurity Tech Accord panel discussions focused on the accomplishments and objectives of the coalition for promoting greater security online. Cybersecurity Tech Accord (https://cybertechaccord.org/) is a public commitment among more than 130 global technology companies to protect, empower and improve security, stability and resilience of cyberspace. Since its inception, Cybersecurity Tech Accord’s signatories have supported initiatives on improving email and routing security, implemented Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance (DMARC) in their own operations, participated in global requests for comments on the UN’s new High Level Panel on Digital Cooperation, and endorsed the Paris Call for Trust and Security in Cyberspace. Additionally, the coalition has coordinated with like-minded organizations such as the Global Cyber Alliance, Internet Society, and Global Forum on Cyber Expertise.
The panel included: Renaud Deraison, Chief Technology Officer, Tenable; Amy Weaver, President, Legal & Corporate Affairs, General Counsel and Secretary Salesforce; Alissa Starzak, Head of Public Policy, Cloudflare; Tom Patterson, Chief Trust Officer, Unisys; Sanjay Poonen, Chief Operating Officer, VMWare; and moderator Carlos Moreira, Founder, CEO, WiseKey. These industry leaders provided a high-level overview of the priority initiatives the Cybersecurity Tech Accord has pursued in its first two years of existence, their respective visions for the twenty-first-century cybersecurity and discussed the need for industry leadership and responsibility in a new domain of conflict. Additionally, panel discussions focused on the intersection of cybersecurity, socioeconomic development and rights promotion around the world, in alignment with the UN’s sustainable development goals.
These discussions highlighted the importance of having regular industry inclusions, engagements, and partnerships in decision making as it relates to cybersecurity. The 2020 networking event is a continuation of the successful introduction of the Cybersecurity Tech Accord during the 2019 meeting in Davos, which focused on the importance of having common cybersecurity principles to improve online security.

Hyperview Revolutionizes Data Center Management with Advanced DCIM Suite
New Carbon Footprint Reporting Delivers Unmatched Insights, Optimizing Sustainability and Performance
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Hyperview, the leading cloud-based data center infrastructure management (DCIM) platform, today unveiled a suite of groundbreaking features set to transform data center management through detailed measurement and comprehensive sustainability tools.
At the heart of this is Hyperview’s new carbon footprint reporting system, providing granular insights that surpass traditional location-based methods. The initial offering provides location and rack-level carbon footprint reporting, with future releases set to include carbon footprint reporting down to the asset level. This phased approach enables a level of detailed analysis previously unseen in the industry, allowing for more informed, impactful operational decisions. By offering a holistic view of a data center’s environmental impact, from equipment performance to overall energy consumption, Hyperview is setting a new standard for sustainability management in the digital infrastructure sector.
“The timing of this release is crucial”, says President and CEO Jad Jebara. “As the data center industry faces mounting pressure to address its environmental impact. Data centers currently consume 1.5% of the global energy supply and emit 59 million metric tonnes of CO2 annually. Without significant intervention, experts project this consumption could skyrocket to 8% by 2030. Hyperview’s solutions enable targeted reduction strategies, addressing inefficiencies in IT equipment management and providing detailed emissions analysis.”
Key Highlights:
Phased Reporting Implementation: Initial offering includes location and rack-level carbon footprint reporting, with asset-level insights coming in future releases.Asset-Level Analysis: Enables impactful decision-making through detailed equipment, material, and power data.Predictive Capabilities: Offers current data and future predictions, surpassing competitors’ reliance on historical information.Cost-Effective Solution: Eliminates need for additional professional services through automated data collection and presentation.Regulatory Compliance: Assists in navigating evolving regulations (SB 253, CSRD, EED) while improving ESG performance.Comprehensive Sustainability Tools:Carbon footprint tracking and managementUnlocking stranded power and cooling capacityMonitoring energy usage efficiency and kilowatt hours at rack-levelSetting rack-level thresholds for power and temperatureMonitoring temperature, Delta-T, and humidity”Hyperview’s precision in digital infrastructure management is akin to diagnosing a specific medical condition rather than broadly identifying an illness,” continues Jebara “While competitors might broadly identify issues, Hyperview pinpoints specific causes, enabling our clients to make targeted improvements, significantly reducing their carbon footprint and operational costs.”
These features allow clients to gain a detailed understanding of their energy consumption and identify areas for improvement, contributing to significant carbon footprint reductions. The platform’s detailed data helps clients understand their current situation and make accurate future predictions.
With this advanced DCIM suite, Hyperview reaffirms its position as a leader in data center management solutions, offering unparalleled tools for sustainability, efficiency, and regulatory compliance.
