Cyber Qubits CEO Addresses United Nations General Assembly at WSIS+20, Highlighting Cybersecurity, Digital Trust, and Workforce Readiness
NEW YORK , NY, UNITED STATES, January 28, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Dr. Gurvirender Tejay, Co-founder and CEO of Cyber Qubits, was recognized as one of 25 global stakeholders to address the United Nations General Assembly during the historic UN High-Level Meeting on WSIS+20, held December 16–17, 2025, at UN Headquarters in New York. The meeting marked 20 years since the original World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) and examined global priorities shaping the future of the digital economy, Internet governance, and emerging technologies.
Speaking on behalf of the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP), Dr. Tejay addressed the General Assembly plenary alongside representatives from ITU, OHCHR, UNESCO, UNCTAD, UNDP, UNIDO, and ICANN. Reflecting on two decades of progress in advancing a people-centered, inclusive, and development-oriented information society, he emphasized five priorities for a secure digital future: evidence-based policymaking, trust and security, digital equity, ethics by design, and sustainable digital education. Dr. Tejay highlighted the responsibilities that accompany today’s digital, intelligent, and green transformation, noting that these priorities directly align with urgent gaps in the global cybersecurity workforce and the need for equitable access to training and career pathways.
“The WSIS+20 discussions reinforced that digital trust, cybersecurity, and ethical design are not optional add-ons, but foundational requirements for sustainable digital and economic development,” said Dr. Tejay. “As digital systems and artificial intelligence increasingly shape societies and economies, education and workforce readiness must advance in parallel to ensure resilience, inclusion, and long-term impact.”
Historic UN Outcomes:
• Formal recognition of the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) as a UN body, ensuring a permanent multistakeholder platform for Internet governance.
• Elevation of cybersecurity, privacy, and digital trust as global priorities.
• Alignment with the Global Digital Compact to unify international digital governance.
• Institutionalization of human rights and gender equity in digital policy.
• Establishment of frameworks for the ethical governance of AI and emerging technologies.
These outcomes underscore the critical importance of aligning global digital policy with cybersecurity education, ethical frameworks, and workforce readiness. As cyber threats evolve and digital divides persist, the UN’s formal elevation of cybersecurity and digital trust as global priorities signals growing recognition that education and workforce development are foundational to digital resilience and equity worldwide.
