The Hague, 30 September 2025

Today, Northwave Cyber Security joined 27 public and private organisations in signing the Cyclotron Convenant at the ONE Conference. This marks a significant step in strengthening the Netherlands’ digital resilience. The convenant enables structured collaboration between parties such as the AIVD, MIVD, Police, NCSC, and leading cybersecurity firms.

The Cyclotron programme was established to facilitate faster and safer sharing of information about digital threats and incidents. Within a trusted community, joint analyses are conducted and distributed to relevant organisations—enabling quicker responses to cyberattacks and reducing vulnerabilities.

Petra Oldengarm, President of Northwave, highlighted the importance of this collaboration:

“We’re signing the Cyclotron Convenant because we believe that a digitally secure Netherlands and Europe should be the norm. As a leading cybersecurity company, we carry the responsibility to share threat intelligence and contribute to a collective defence. This convenant removes the legal barriers that used to slow us down. Now, we can collaborate more easily, share sensitive data securely, and respond to threats faster.”

Northwave has previously contributed to Cyclotron use cases, including Project Melissa. These collaborations have shown that sharing information under strict conditions leads to tangible results and impactful interventions.

The convenant lays a strong foundation for future cooperation. It enables faster and safer sharing of sensitive information, without the need to establish new legal agreements for each individual use case.
