Cyber stability is increasingly tested by geopolitical fragmentation, rapid technological change, and tightly coupled digital supply chains. Open source software sits at the centre of these dynamics: widely embedded in critical digital infrastructure, globally developed, and governed through models that were not designed for today’s security, policy, and geopolitical pressures. In 2026, the Geneva Dialogue will [...]

Cyber stability faces growing pressure from geopolitical fragmentation, rapid technological change, and interconnected digital supply chains. Emerging technologies — AI, advanced automation, and quantum computing — are accelerating cyber capabilities, reshaping how vulnerabilities are discovered, defences are built, and operations conducted. Some compress decision timelines; others challenge foundational assumptions about encryption and systemic risk. [...]

2026 Geneva Dialogue Masterclass #3 Time: 15:00–17:00 CET Cyber risk is becoming harder to define consistently. Geopolitical fragmentation, conflicts that combine kinetic and cyber operations, and fast-moving technological change — especially AI — are all reshaping what we mean by critical infrastructure protection. What counts as critical, who is responsible for protecting it, and [...]
