Solution

The correct option is B World Economic Forum
On 25 January 2018, the World Economic Forum (WEF) had announced to launch a new Global Centre for Cybersecurity in a bid to safeguard the world from hackers and growing data breaches, especially from nation-states. The centre will be headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland and will become operational from March 2018. It will function as an autonomous organisation under the auspices of WEF. The aim of the centre is to establish the first global platform for governments, businesses, experts and law enforcement agencies to collaborate on cybersecurity challenges. The global centre will be an excellent opportunity to safeguard verticals like automotive and healthcare where wireless connectivity is the key.
