Oxford Cyber Forum

Join us at the Oxford Cyber Forum, a day-long event created through a partnership between the European Cyber Conflict Research Initiative (ECCRI) and the Blavatnik School of Government at the University of Oxford. This forum serves as a crucial platform for dialogue among government officials, academics, and private sector leaders on the evolving landscape of cyber conflict and security.

The Oxford Cyber Forum will consider a number of themes, including the cyber aspects of the Ukraine-Russia war and the Israel-Hamas war, assessing their implications for future cyber warfare. The discussion will highlight NATO’s role in cybersecurity and its strategic responses to threats. It will also cover the critical role of public-private partnerships in strengthening cybersecurity and the exploration of new technologies, including AI, in advancing cyber defense. The forum will additionally tackle the growing threat of ransomware, discussing effective prevention and recovery strategies, to round out a focused exploration of current and future cybersecurity challenges.

The Oxford Cyber Forum takes place on June 27, 2024 at the Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford.
