Zurich, 07 July 2025
The fourth edition of the Global Cyber Conference will take place on 22 – 23 October 2025 at the renowned The Dolder Grand in Zurich. Preparations are in full swing. At the centre of this year’s conference is the topic of “Future Resilience”: a deliberately chosen focus in view of the dynamic risk landscape, growing geopolitical tensions and the rapid development of artificial intelligence. Resilience is not just a technical goal, but a strategic necessity for companies, states and societies worldwide.
Over two intensive conference days, leading experts from Switzerland, Europe, North America and the Middle East will discuss the future of cybersecurity, the secure handling of AI systems and resilient strategies in the digital age. Participants can expect exciting keynotes, in-depth panels and practical roundtable sessions – away from sales presentations and with a clear focus on knowledge transfer and sustainable dialogue.

Swiss CISO Awards – a stage for silent heroes and heroines
The role of Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) is central to the security of companies and institutions – and yet their work often remains invisible. With the Swiss CISO Awards, the conference recognises the people behind the security strategy: their leadership, their sense of responsibility and their contribution to a more trustworthy digital world.
Prizes are awarded in three categories:
- Swiss CISO of the Year
- CISO for Culture and Diversity
- Future Leader
Registration is open until 31 July 2025 and both self-applications and nominations are welcome.
