In the digital era, wars are no longer fought only on land, sea, or air — but in cyberspace. Cyber warfare has become a powerful tool for disruption, capable of crippling infrastructure, spreading misinformation, and undermining trust without physical violence.

This panel explores how cyber warfare is reshaping global security: the tactics behind major attacks, the role of AI and automation, and the growing overlap between state operations and criminal networks. Experts will discuss real incidents, emerging threats, and practical ways to strengthen digital resilience in a world where every system can become a target.
