The CISPA – Helmholtz Center for Information Security and the Munich Security Conference (MSC) will collaborate in the future to combine their respective expertise and strengthen the exchange between research and security policy practice. The basis for this cooperation is a Memorandum of Understanding signed by both institutions in early February.
Under this agreement, CISPA and the MSC will pool their expertise to jointly generate new momentum for research and security policy debates. The partnership is built on continuous, trust-based dialogue and the joint development of strategically relevant fields of action.
CISPA is one of the world’s leading research institutions in the fields of cybersecurity, privacy, and trustworthy artificial intelligence. Researchers from across the globe work at the center to develop solutions to the key challenges of digital security—in close collaboration with policymakers, industry, and society. With this cooperation agreement, CISPA reaffirms its goal of serving as a bridge between excellent research and political practice and of contributing to the advancement of international security debates.
For more than six decades, the Munich Security Conference has been regarded as one of the world’s leading forums for dialogue on international security and defense policy. In addition to its annual conference in February, the MSC organizes topic-specific events and publishes the “Munich Security Report,” one of the key reference publications in the field of international security policy.
Prof. Dr. Dr. h. c. mult. Michael Backes, Founding Director and CEO of CISPA, explains: “Digital security is a core component of modern security architectures. CISPA and the Munich Security Conference share the ambition to address complex security-related challenges in a fact-based and interdisciplinary manner. This cooperation enables us to channel insights from cutting-edge research directly into the international security policy dialogue.”
Dr. Benedikt Franke, CEO and Vice-Chairman of the Munich Security Conference, adds: “With CISPA, we are gaining a strong academic partner. Technological developments and their growing complexity increasingly shape the foundations of international security policy. By joining forces with CISPA, we are creating new impetus for future security policy debates and combining scientific and policy expertise to make discussions on digital risks and challenges even more impactful.”
