#769 How Information Climate is Challenging the Trust on NATO and Security Authorities
Time: Wednesday 25 June at 13:00-13:55
How is public trust formed and how it impacts internal security? There is a crucial link between citizen confidence in institutions and a nation’s ability to withstand information-based threats in an era of growing geopolitical uncertainty. What can we do to improve the resilience of our nations?
In current times of rising geopolitical tensions, cyber threats, and misinformation, national security is no longer just about military strength—it’s about trust. A nation’s resilience depends on public confidence in its institutions, as trust determines how citizens respond to crises, policies, and external threats. When trust erodes, misinformation spreads faster, undermining social cohesion and weakening democratic foundations. Reputation & Trust Analytics presents new data on how confidence in governance, media, and businesses influences national stability. In addition, we unveil how NATO is perceived and trusted in a Nordic perspective in critical times of international uncertainty. How can policymakers, companies, and civil society strengthen trust to build resilience? What role does transparency play in securing public confidence?
Join us as we explore the intersection of trust, information security, and national defence in an increasingly volatile world.
