The Cyber Stability Conference 2025 (#CS25), a UNIDIR flagship event addressing evolving cyber threats to strengthen international peace and security, will meet this year under the theme “Crisis Averted: Cyber Resilience in Action.”
In our increasingly digital and interconnected world, the scale and sophistication of malicious activities targeting critical information and infrastructure continue to grow. Such threats pose unprecedented risks to international peace and security, with the potential to trigger cascading effects at national, regional, and global levels. The stakes have never been higher.
The UNIDIR Cyber Stability Conference 2025 introduces an innovative format to address these challenges. Guided by UNIDIR’s Cyber Intrusion Pathway framework, the conference will examine each phase of a cyber incident, fostering a deeper understanding of cyber resilience in practice. The conference will spotlight how the practical implementation of the UN framework for responsible State behaviour in the use of ICTs can strengthen resilience against cyber threats.
Taking place during the inaugural Geneva Cyber Week, the Cyber Stability Conference 2025 will convene a diverse array of perspectives from government, industry, academia and civil society. As a cornerstone event of the week, the conference will leverage the expertise of leading stakeholders gathered in Geneva for a series of dynamic discussions and events.
