The 62nd Munich Security Conference, which opened on February 13, 2026, in Munich, Germany, marked a turning point compared to previous editions.

Paradigm Shift

For decades, the conference focused on fighter jets, troops, and international agreements. Today, cyber threats and artificial intelligence are no longer secondary elements, but an integral part of global security. The discussion has shifted to cyber risks, the protection of digital infrastructure, and the impact of emerging technologies.

Implications for Digital Sovereignty

The increasing importance of cybersecurity raises crucial questions about digital sovereignty and the need to protect sensitive data from external attacks. Companies and governments must invest in on-premise solutions and advanced defense strategies to ensure the resilience of their infrastructures.
