Third Annual Conference Underway
The Principality of Liechtenstein is set to host its third Cybersecurity Conference on Monday, November 17, 2025. Organized by Digital Liechtenstein in cooperation with the University of Liechtenstein, the event will take place at the university's premises in Vaduz. This conference serves as a crucial platform for a high-level exchange among leading figures from business, science, and politics, focusing on current challenges, trends, and solutions in the field of cybersecurity. The discussions will underscore the central importance of cybersecurity for Liechtenstein's economic landscape.
Key Discussions and Expert Insights
The conference agenda is designed to provide comprehensive insights into the evolving cybersecurity threat landscape. Attendees can expect presentations and discussions on a range of critical topics, including:
- 'Beyond Cybersecurity – What's next?' presented by Marcel Zumbühl, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) of Swiss Post, who will offer forward-looking perspectives and actionable recommendations for businesses.
- An overview of Liechtenstein's National Cybersecurity Strategy 2025, including a review, current status, and future outlook, delivered by Michael Valersi, Head of the Cyber Security Office for Liechtenstein. This strategy, adopted in February 2025, addresses all relevant cybersecurity topics.
- An analysis of Deepfake technologies and sophisticated social engineering methods, highlighting new threats to corporate brands. Jill Wick, Cyber Security Consultant at InfoGuard, will present concrete case studies and examine psychological manipulation techniques alongside technical capabilities of modern deepfakes.
The event will also delve into the increasing cyber risks within supply chains, a critical area often underestimated by many companies.

It's good to see collaboration between sectors to discuss cybersecurity, but the real test will be in how effectively these insights are translated into actionable policies for everyday businesses. Hopefully, concrete outcomes follow.

It's encouraging to see a focus on both current and future threats, like supply chain risks, which are often overlooked. My concern is whether the recommendations will be practical and affordable for all businesses, or if they'll primarily benefit larger entities.
