Cybersecurity Dialogues Congress Romania, 11th edition Sibiu, September 24-27, 2025

Securing the Balkan Mosaic: Cyber–Physical Resilience in a Hybrid Era

The Cybersecurity Dialogues is growing from a local and national policy and awareness initiative into a regional convening platform, aligning with the maturity of Southeast Europe’s security agenda and its ambitions for Euro-Atlantic integration. We recognize the critical importance of enriching gender perspective into cybersecurity and broader security policymaking, ensuring that strategies are inclusive, representative, and resilient.

Romania, and particularly Sibiu, plays an increasingly vital role as a regional hub for cybersecurity and hybrid threat coordination. The presence and partnership of national and international actors reinforce the city’s strategic relevance for multilateral dialogue, policy development, and private sector engagement in cyber defense and digital resilience.

As it transitions toward a broader regional outreach and strategic outlook, the 2025 edition of the CyberSecurity Dialogues marks a new chapter and natural evolution for the next decade of the platform. In the face of evolving regional hybrid threats — from cyberattacks and critical infrastructure vulnerabilities to regulatory disruption and disinformation — Sibiu will host key public and private actors from across the Balkans and beyond.
