Cybercrime and International Law Enforcement with Dr. Jürgen Stock

Sunday, March 15, 2026 • Duration 13:05

How are global law enforcement tactics adapting to the fast-evolving nature of cybercrime? Dr. Jürgen Stock, Secretary General of INTERPOL (2014-2024), offers an inside perspective on the biggest challenges to foster a more rapid global response to cybercrime.

Drawing on more than a decade at the helm of international law enforcement, he shares insights into the growing sophistication of tech-driven cybercrime, the major cyber capacity disparities between nations, and the pressing need for deeper intelligence sharing across borders.

From fragmentation in response systems to the rise of “cybercrime as a service,” Dr. Stock explores why collaboration, coordination, and communication are indispensable to global cybersecurity – particularly as emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and quantum computing are reshaping the threat landscapes.

Protecting Children in Cyberspace with Sheema Sen Gupta

Tuesday, February 10, 2026 • Duration 16:30

How can societies better protect children in a world where cyber risks are both borderless and rapidly evolving? Sheema Sen Gupta, Director of Child Protection and Migration at UNICEF, joins the Rethinking Cyber podcast to examine the complex threats children face in Cyberspace and how nations and organizations can cooperate to keep them safe.

Drawing on more than 25 years’ experience at UNICEF advocating for child rights in complex humanitarian contexts, Sen Gupta highlights critical gaps in awareness, reporting, and platform design, explaining why parents, educators, governments, and tech companies all have a stake in strengthening child online protection.

She also points to actionable solutions like cyber skills training, safety-by-design in tech, and cross-border cooperation on reporting mechanisms and helplines, making the case for a whole-of-society approach that puts children at the center of cybersecurity decision-making.

Reimagining National Security in Cyberspace with Robert Hannigan

Season 3 · Episode 1

Sunday, January 11, 2026 • Duration 11:10

How can nations maintain cyber resilience when technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing are evolving faster than regulation? Robert Hannigan, Director of GCHQ (2014-2017) - the UK's intelligence, security and cyber agency - looks at what lessons can be learned from the decades before AI to build long-term security.

Drawing on his experience in policy development, Hannigan poses that the nature of Cyberspace requires governments and the private sector to join efforts to secure infrastructure and economies. He also highlights the need to ensure that technology itself is designed securely, while building resilience into physical and cyber infrastructure. As agentic AI accelerates in sophistication, Hannigan makes the case for keeping human judgment, ethics, and oversight at the center of cybersecurity strategies.

Industrial Cybersecurity by Design: Embedding Trust in Critical Systems with Andrew Kling

Monday, November 3, 2025 • Duration 23:11

How can global industries keep their critical systems operating safely and avoid costly, disruptive downtime as cyber risks evolve?

Andrew Kling, Director of Cybersecurity and Architecture at Schneider Electric, examines the evolving complexities shaping industrial cybersecurity as operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) converge – from regulatory compliance and evolving cybersecurity standards to risk management, threat awareness, and preparedness.

Drawing on decades of experience across multiple industries and in international standards development, Kling explores how secure-by-design - a “shift-left” approach that embeds cybersecurity at an early stage and anticipates threats - can build resilience into the industrial control systems (ICS) powering our critical infrastructure. Looking to the future, he also speaks of the important role of multistakeholder collaboration as cyber threats and technologies evolve.

Brought to you by GCF’s Operational Technology Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (OTC-CoE), the OT Cyber Brief podcast shares insights from industry leaders and experts on global priorities in OT cybersecurity.
