18:00-18:15 / KEYNOTE SPEECH

CONVERGENCE OF ELECTRONIC AND CYBER WARFARE IN UKRAINE

Convergence of electronic and cyber warfare has become a game-changer in modern armed conflicts. It can enhance both offensive and defensive capabilities, by disrupting enemy networks, gathering intelligence, and on the other hand boosting cybersecurity protocols and mitigating vulnerabilities that could be used by an enemy force. Russia has been using its cyber-electronic capabilities during the war in Ukraine, making the fight all the more difficult. What are the advantages and challenges of integrating electronic and cyber warfare capabilities? How can this technological fusion enhance military operations and situational awareness? What are the potential implications on civilian infrastructure and populations? Is this the future of modern warfare?

17:30-18:00 / FIRESIDE CHAT

HARNESSING THE POWER OF EDTS

Technological superiority through emerging disruptive technologies (EDTs) such as AI, quantum computing or autonomous systems, not only strengthens defence and deterrence capabilities but also enhances geopolitical influence. As major global players like Russia and China prioritize EDT development to bolster their military capabilities, NATO is also focused on maintaining its technological edge through the NATO Innovation Fund and DIANA. How are EDTs transforming cyber and traditional warfare? What are the challenges in effectively integrating EDTs into existing military infrastructure and systems? What can we expect in the years to come in the EDT “arms race”?

18:15-19:15 / PANEL DISCUSSION

FOSTERING CIVIL-DEFENCE SYNERGIES

Protecting cyberspace requires intensified cooperation and coordination between the civilian and defence spheres. That is fundamental for achieving success on the battlefield (as the war in Ukraine has shown), as well as for fostering innovation and technological progress contributing to greater national security. The panel strives to understand how effective cooperation between the defence domain and the private sector (industry, academia, and decision-makers) can be built. It will focus on the identification of priorities, potential gaps, quick wins, and long-term goals. Apart from that participants will be asked to recommend concrete ways how to improve synergy between the two communities.

16:30 –17:15 / PANEL DISCUSSION

DISARMING INFLUENCE OPERATIONS

Information has always been a key element of war – now, social media are significantly transforming the dynamics of conflicts. Psychological warfare, disinformation and propaganda, are increasingly used by malicious actors such as Russia to support their bigger geopolitical goals. Beyond the war in Ukraine, the Kremlin is also engaging in aggressive influence operations in Africa and Latin America, not only to shape public opinion of the conflict, but also manipulate local communities, put anti-Western governments in power, undermine democracy and human rights. How can we converge the efforts of the multiple actors involved in the fight against disinformation? What protocols and practices should we establish for preventing and managing influence operations?

16:00-16:15 / KEYNOTE PRESENTATION

HACKING GOOGLE – A LOOK BEHIND GOOGLE’S RED TEAM OR RED TEAMING – THE BEST DEFENCE IS A GOOD OFFENSE

What does it look like when a sophisticated adversary tries to attack your company? Would you be able to notice? Building an internal Red Team that is able to simulate a wide variety of adversaries can help answer this and many other questions. This talk will go into details on how to build an effective Red Team program, from hiring talent over building out capabilities, all the way to remediating findings surfaced in exercises and . The talk will also focus on how red teams play a decisive role in preparing every organization for attacks on AI systems.

14:30-15:30 / PANEL DISCUSSION

THROUGH PEACETIME, CRISIS, AND CONFLICT – STRENGTHENING NATO’S CYBER POSTURE

Malicious actors seek to destabilize the Alliance through cyber means – Russia continues to intensify its hybrid attacks against the Allies and partners, and the PRC has declared its ambitions to challenge NATO’s interests, security, and technological edge. NATO is committed to enhancing its deterrence and defence posture in the cyber domain through initiatives like Virtual Cyber Incident Support Capability, the Innovation Fund, and DIANA. How have recent summits improved NATO’s cyber posture? How do the above-mentioned initiatives improve NATO’s capabilities in the cyber sphere? How can NATO members prepare themselves for the changes brought by modern warfare?

17:30-17:45 / KEYNOTE SPEECH

FOSTERING INNOVATION AND INTEROPERABILITY IN NATO

With increased investments into developing cutting-edge solutions, including disruptive and dual use tech, NATO is clearly entering its new technological era. To maintain its technological edge, the Allies need interoperability. Seamless integration of new solutions across member states and partners has long been a priority for NATO, but it is getting more difficult with the growing complexity of systems, as well as the emergence and convergence of domains. It also requires a whole-of-ecosystem approach – engaging not only NATO, but the defence industry, tech companies, academia and civil society. What conditions have to be met for an effective innovation and smooth digital transformation of NATO? How to structure the cooperation within such a diverse group of stakeholders?
