Global Stage in Munich: Securing our Digital World

On the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference 2025, GZERO Media will host a Global Stage livestream panel discussion, bringing together top experts to assess the most pressing global security threats. This wrap-up conversation will explore key insights from the conference, with a focus on the risks outlined in Eurasia Group’s Top Risks report, Microsoft’s Secure Future Initiative (SFI) commitments, and urgent calls for stronger cyber deterrence. 
  
The discussion will center on four critical areas: the growing threat of nation-state cyberattacks, evolving security challenges in an era of geopolitical instability, the need for robust deterrence strategies to safeguard digital and physical infrastructure, and the increasing risk of ransomware attacks targeting both public and private sectors. 
  
By examining these interconnected issues, the panel aims to provide a forward-looking perspective on global security in 2025 and beyond.
