28-29 September 2015 marks the beginning of our CYBERSEC journey. Back then the conference brought together 400 participants including key industry stakeholders, prominent decision-makers, experts and academics to discuss the Strategic Challenges for Cybersecurity. Common points of convergence included the critical role and responsibility of states and private entities in ensuring a safe cyberspace through systematic supervision and proactive protection of their key assets.

The 2nd edition of the CYBERSEC Forum shed light on the Strategic Aspects of Cybersecurity. Across four different thematic streams (State, Military, Future, Business), our speakers and participants discussed the most pressing issues at that time and formulating the following action items: build sub-regional frameworks (such as the V4) to encourage a widespread creation of practical instruments and implementation of best practices, establish a system of incentives in regulatory practices related to cybersecurity for implementation by states and move away from the “one-size-fits-all” approach to developing tools to ward off attacks by malign actors such as terrorists or spies.

Dealing with Cyber Disruption was the overarching theme of the 3rd edition of CYBERSEC Forum. Being convinced that technology should exist to propel mankind and not threaten its future, we felt it was necessary to use our sizeable platform to increase awareness about this issue that has become a top policy concern and a national security priority. To that end, across 4 Streams & 80 panel discussions the participants to the conference engaged in a strategic dialogue on how to deal with cyber disruption in an holistic manner. Similarly to the past editions, our goal was to develop sound and practical recommendations for maintaining and strengthening our security in the cyber world.

The Quest For Cyber Trust

Nothing can be built without trust. In the case of cybersecurity, trust is a critical value that underpins cooperation in order to build a thriving digital ecosystem and increase a common understanding of its rules. But how do we make it happen? CYBERSEC 2018 focused on bringing answers to that very question. The common sentiment among our speakers and participants was best enunciated during the second day of the conference: trust is only possible if the necessary tools and the will to act quickly without hesitation are present.

Securing the World’s Digital DNA

Held for the first time in the lovely city of Katowice, the CYBERSEC Forum 2019 followed in the footsteps of its previous grand editions by bringing forth an agenda that again reflected the latest challenges of the digital era, with a primary focus on finding ways to secure and harness the power of the world’s digital DNA.
