The 17th International Conference on Cyber Conflict, CyCon 2025, will take place in Tallinn, Estonia from 28 to 30 May, and will be preceded by a Workshop Day on 27 May. Registration is now open on the CyCon website.
CyCon has established itself as a prominent interdisciplinary conference and community-building event, showcasing the latest research and facilitating discussion on the most topical technical, policy, legal, and military issues related to cyberspace and its impact on our societies.
The theme of the 17th iteration of the conference is “The Next Step”, denoting the need to look ahead. Cyberspace has become a theatre for activities below the threshold of armed conflict, where the lines between defensive and offensive cyber operations and between peacetime, crisis, and conflict are blurred. The range of actors is more diverse than ever before, and their intentions differ greatly. Our adversaries are active 24/7, and so must we be. How do politicians and decision-makers, industry, lawyers, and technological pioneers adapt when the rules of the game are constantly evolving?
These and other questions will be addressed by more than 100 speakers at CyCon. The welcoming address of the 17th CyCon will be made by Alar Karis, President of the Republic of Estonia. Confirmed keynote speakers include the Gentlemen Hackers (Mikko Hypponen and Tomi Tuominen), Professor Ryan Maness (Associate Professor at the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School), Dr Tarah Wheeler (Senior Fellow for Global Cyber Policy at the Council on Foreign Relations) and Dr Nikita Shah (Senior Resident Fellow at the Cyber Statecraft Initiative at the Atlantic Council). Original academic contributions submitted in response to the Call for Papers will be presented in track-specific panels and published in the conference proceedings. Please check the CyCon website regularly for agenda updates.
The conference is supported by our Sponsors: Google Cloud Secuirty, Palo Alto, Microsoft, Fortinet, Trend Micro, AWS, Silobreaker, Black Hills Information Security and SealingTech.
