This was reconfirmed last week in Munich, where the Munich Security Conference (MSC) and the Munich Cybersecurity Conference (MCSC) had their annual meetings with around 2000 hand-picked participants, among them 60 heads of state and more than 200 Ministers from 120 countries.<\/p>\n<p>The heads of state, foreign and defence ministers met at the \u201cHotel Bayrischer Hof\u201d; the Digital Ministers and Cyber Ambassadors met at Munich\u2019s \u201cChamber of Commerce\u201d, just one block away from the Hotel. But in both venues, the discussion circled around the same issues: the future of the transatlantic partnership, the threat of hybrid wars in the digital age and the risks and opportunities of AI.<\/p>\n<h4>Under Destruction<\/h4>\n<p>This year\u2019s conference title was \u201cUnder Destruction.\u201d The chairman of the MSC, Ambassador Wolfgang Ischinger, did use the language of a \u201cdemolition ball\u201d which attacks the rules-based order of the United Nations. The UN emerged after World War II and has so far saved us from World War Three. But what about the future? If this order is gone, as the Canadian prime minister Carney recently recognized in Davos?<\/p>\n<p>The options discussed in Munich were a little enlightening. There was a consensus that the \u201cpost-Cold War era\u201d is over. However, it remained unclear what comes next. Will the \u201cdemolition ball\u201d prepare for something exciting new\u2014remember Schumpeter\u2019s \u201cCreative Destruction\u201d &#8211; or will the world be pulled into a disaster?<\/p>\n<p>The Indian Foreign Minister Jaishankar probably gave the most precise outlook: \u201cWe are moving into a twilight zone,\u201d he argued. And in such a twilight zone, there are different spaces and places. Somewhere, rules are working, and somewhere the law of the jungle will prevail. He did not see a \u201crupture\u201d of the existing order. For him, it is a \u201ctransition.\u201d The \u201cGlobal North\u201d is now confronted with similar uncertanies as&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/circleid.com\/posts\/munich-cybersecurity-conference-2026-moving-into-the-twilight-zone\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Moving Into the Twilight Zone https:\/\/circleid.com\/posts\/munich-cybersecurity-conference-2026-moving-into-the-twilight-zone Publish Date: 2026-02-23 16:55:00 Source Domain: circleid.com One thing&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":216698,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/circleid.com\/images\/member_photos\/photo_5851.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[20,57],"class_list":["post-216697","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-security"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216697"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=216697"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216697\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":216699,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216697\/revisions\/216699"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/216698"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=216697"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=216697"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=216697"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
