Pirate Security Conference 2026
Security Policy in an Era of Disruption
14. – 15.02.2026 in Munich
Artificial Intelligence, Hybrid Warfare, Drones, and other Disruptive Technologies are Transforming the very Nature of Global Security and Conflicts.
Are we prepared for a world in which wars are fought with algorithms, influence campaigns, and autonomous systems? This conference invites you to explore how these revolutionary developments are changing power, deterrence, and defense. Join leading experts to understand what is coming next—and how we can shape a secure future in an age of disruption.
Authoritarian Power, War, and Geopolitics
From Russia’s war against Ukraine to Iran’s internal crisis and digital repression, the sessions explore how conflict, control, and geopolitical pressure are reshaping regional and global security.
New Technologies for Hybrid Warfare
Attacks on our infrastructure are omnipresent— not only on land, at sea, and in the air, but also in cyberspace and on social media. How new technologies create new vulnerabilities and how we can protect ourselves against them.
Democratic Resilience
Democracy is not only the core principal of our european values, but the very first line of defence for disinformation campaigns and asymerical warfare.
“Security policy in an era of disruption demands not only preparedness, but prediction: the ability to adapt faster than the threats that challenge us.”
Alexander Kohler, PSC Chairman
