Besides its annual flagship conference in Munich, the Munich Security Conference (MSC) Foundation regularly organizes high-profile events around the world. These events include Summits, dedicated to a particular thematic focus – as European Defence, Energy Security, and Cyber Security, as well as Roundtables which complement the larger Summits and take place at the sidelines of existing events of select partner institutions.

For its cyber security activities, the MSC is partnering with the EastWest Institute, Deutsche Telekom, Google, and Microsoft to offer the best possible platforms for an open exchange of ideas and opinions

The MSC’s Cyber Security Summits address an audience of up to 150 senior representatives from government, the private sector, and NGOs, while also retaining the MSC’s trademark atmosphere of open exchange and frank debates in an exclusive setting. Cyber Security Summits have been held at Deutsche Telekom Headquarters in Bonn in 2012, 2013, and 2014. Another instalment is planned to take place in Silicon Valley in summer 2016.
