Learn how artificial intelligence is transforming the cybersecurity landscape – both as a powerful defensive tool and a potential threat amplifier. This category also examines the real-world limitations of AI, its supply chain and hardware dependencies, and the national security implications of this new ecosystem.

You’ll also uncover why cybersecurity challenges persist in AI design and implementation, from vulnerabilities in code and to market failures and human factors.

Overall, this category helps you discover how AI regulation and secure-by-design thinking could shape a more resilient digital future.

Understand how cyber capabilities are reshaping modern conflict. This category leverages many real-world examples of state-sponsored cyber operations and frontline electronic warfare to give you a practical understanding of the role of digital technologies in warfare.

You’ll examine how states defend against destructive and disruptive cyber attacks while leveraging cyber tools for strategic advantage through espionage and intelligence gathering – including as part of kinetic targeting. It will help you gain insight into one of the fastest-evolving dimensions of global security, which is likely to drastically affect the outcome of future conflicts.

Learn how states build, wield, and project cyber power in an increasingly competitive digital world. This category investigates the underlying realities behind global cyber power rankings, including how superpowers, large military alliances, and “middle-ground” states develop offensive and defensive strategy and tactics in different ways.

You’ll analyze key case studies to understand how new theoretical approaches have influenced how states deploy cyber operations on the ground, and how cyber strategy in intelligence and military spheres interacts with broader national cyber policy concerns.

Bridge the gap between technical cybersecurity challenges and the policies that govern them. This category starts from the recognition that cybersecurity is fundamentally an interdisciplinary subject, and requires us to see our digital world through multiple perspectives.

You’ll explore how technological realities, economic incentives, and political decisions interact—and sometimes clash – and how cybersecurity concerns straddle individual, societal, and national levels.

Ultimately, this category will help you understand how effective cybersecurity requires both technical expertise and thoughtful policy design.

Dive into the weird and wonderful world of cyber threats, from ransomware to advanced persistent attacks. This category explains how various threat actors operate, adapt, and exploit vulnerabilities in an increasingly complex digital ecosystem – from cyber criminals to states purchasing off-the-shelf spyware solutions.

You’ll also learn how threat intelligence helps organizations anticipate and respond to attacks more effectively. Ultimately, this category helps you build a strong foundation in understanding and countering modern cyber threats.

Examine how rules, norms, and international law shape the behavior of states and non-state actors in cyberspace. This category explores the legal and diplomatic frameworks that govern cyber operations, as well as the evolution of a unique internet governance architecture and the challenges posed by global digital platforms used by billions of people every day.

You’ll learn how states negotiate, enforce, and challenge these rules in practice – and navigate a landscape where they are by far from the default locus for digital power and capacity-building is an imperfect response to a growing digital divide. It’s perfect for those interested in how global governance is evolving in response to digital transformation.

Hear from world-class experts in their field about how they got there, what they did at key decision moments, and what advice they would give to the next generation of aspiring cyber and emerging tech leaders. From career highlights to the next big thing, this category reveals the personal stories behind the substance – from their favourite cybersecurity reads to reflections on how the field has changed since they embarked on their diverse careers.
