The security environment for organisations has fundamentally changed. Whereas cyber threat was seen as the greatest risk for years, we now operate in a hybrid reality where digital attacks, sabotage, economic disruption and disinformation converge.

Incidents like the explosions at DHL in Lithuania, an attack at a shopping mall in Warsaw, and systematic digital attacks on infrastructure show how conflict forms are blurring. In this world of latent threats, timely preparation is essential.

This summit brings together decision-makers, risk managers and security experts to explore how organisations can prepare for uncertainty, escalation and disruption. The programme focuses on concrete action options and strategic decision-making during hybrid conflict situations.

‍

During this summit, international experts will take participants through the most current and urgent organisational security issues in times of hybrid threat. The classic cyber threat has evolved into a more complex playing field in which sabotage, economic pressure, social unrest, disinformation and physical threat intertwine.

The content of the programme is structured around three strategic pillars:

- Threat analysis based on intelligence logic: Learn how to recognise and interpret early signals of

escalation, and which geopolitical developments have direct impact on your sector.

- Risk management and crisis decision-making: Get tools for setting up effective decision-making

structures and response protocols at board or executive level. From supply chain disruption to

large-scale communication failures: how do you make a difference in the first 48 hours?

- Resilience and continuity: develop an organisation-wide plan that protects your people,

systems and reputation - even when conventional structures fail.
