We are happy to announce the start of the submission process for the forth international Pirate Security Conference, which will take place between the 17th and 18th of February 2018 in Munich.
The congress is organized by the German Pirate Party as well as the non-profit association 42 e.V. and gets additional support from our special partner, the Munich Security Conference.
We mainly want to address the European people, parties and NGO’s interested in international security politics. It addresses also the respective ministries and agencies, the embassies in Germany as well as national and international companies. A special invitation goes also to the members of all national Parliaments and those of the European Parliament.

The Pirate Security Conference is an opportunity for academics, military personnel, practitioners and consultants from around the world who are involved in the study, management, development and implementation of systems and concepts to combat information warfare or to improve information systems security to come together and exchange ideas.

For the 4th Security Conference the main topic will be „Resilience“ and will offer participants to emerge over the course of the two days into talks, presentations and panels, focusing on the future and upcoming challenges. All sessions will be streamed and the video recordings published afterwards.

With the ever-increasing use of new technologies, you also have to worry about what happens in the event of technical system failures and how you can still maintain an acceptable level of operability. In order to be able to look at the subject better, we consider this topic under the following gaze wraps:

• Resilience of technical systems and critical infrastructures
• Economic resilience
• Resilience from a sociological point of view

What is the overall situation, what are the challenges and how can resilience be improved?
All three aspects are closely linked and are also used in new tactical concepts in the military field.

10 Jahre Pirate Secon

Zehn Jahre Piraten-Sicherheitskonferenz

Ein Meilenstein an der Schnittstelle von Technologie, Geopolitik und Resilienz.

Seit einem Jahrzehnt dient die Piraten-Sicherheitskonferenz als wegweisende Plattform, die das Zusammenspiel von Technologie, geopolitischen Herausforderungen und der unverzichtbaren Widerstandsfähigkeit in unserer Welt erkundet.

Diese Konferenz hat nicht nur Trends gesetzt, sondern auch Pionierarbeit geleistet, indem sie stets ihrer Zeit voraus war. Die zunehmende Verschmelzung von Technologie und Sicherheit hat neue Dimensionen an Herausforderungen und Chancen geschaffen.

Über diese zehn Jahre hinweg haben wir gesehen, wie sich die digitale und die geopolitische Landschaft grundlegend verändert hat und wie diese Veränderungen sich gegenseitig beeinflussen.

Die Piraten-Sicherheitskonferenz hat dieses Zusammenspiel erkannt und untersucht, wie Technologie nicht nur die Sicherheit, sondern auch die Machtstrukturen in der Welt neu definiert.
