CYDEF 2025 will be held in Tokyo, Japan, on 9–10 December 2025, with on-demand online access available from 15–31 December 2025. The event will feature approximately 50 expert speakers and attract around 1,000 participants, bridging government, academia, and industry across NATO and Indo-Pacific partners.
CYDEF is an annual international conference that gathers cyber defence experts, policymakers, and researchers from around the world to share knowledge, raise awareness, and strengthen collaboration in the field of cyber security. Since its establishment in 2018, CYDEF has become a leading global platform, featuring more than 350 speakers and welcoming over 6,000 participants from various institutions and nations.
The 2025 edition, marking the eighth iteration of the conference, will once again feature sessions organized by research institutes primarily from NATO countries, while expanding its network to include participants from Indo-Pacific nations. This year’s theme, “The Next Frontier – Turning Crisis into Opportunity,” underscores the growing need for innovative and resilient approaches to cyber threats in an interconnected world.
