International Digital Security Forum Vienna

Digital transformation challenges states to maintain their open strategic autonomy and sovereignty while fostering global solidarity in leveraging the benefits and addressing risks and cyber threats. Digital sovereignty emphasizes control over national data and infrastructure, while digital solidarity relies on international cooperation to develop common security standards and share knowledge. The International Digital Security Forum (IDSF) 2025 will focus on exploring this crucial balance from a variety of technological and thematic perspectives. Topics include cybersecurity in a globalized world, AI-driven critical infrastructure security, PeaceTech initiatives, and the role of tech diplomacy in an age of artificial intelligence. This conference provides a comprehensive platform to examine how independence and cooperation can be harmonized to address global digital security challenges.
