THREAT 2026: CONTINUUM is the fourth edition of the THREAT Conference Series. It convenes cybersecurity, logistics, policy, and research leaders to address a pressing challenge facing the global economy: the security and continuity of modern supply chains. From maritime logistics and air cargo security to digital infrastructure and cross-border data flows, modern supply chains are increasingly reliant on interconnected systems. THREAT 2026 explores the operational, strategic, and regulatory dimensions of supply chain security—including the vulnerabilities of critical infrastructure, the integrity of logistics networks, and the evolving nature of cyber-physical threats. The conference advocates a multi-sectoral approach that brings together industry, government, and academia. By fostering dialogue between cybersecurity professionals, logistics operators, policymakers, and researchers, THREAT 2026 aims to build resilience, strengthen coordination, and promote secure, uninterrupted global trade. THREAT 2026 will equip participants with the knowledge and tools to safeguard supply chain continuity, secure critical nodes, and prepare for the evolving threats that disrupt global commerce. THREAT 2026 thus becomes a pivotal event for reshaping the discourse on supply chain resilience in an increasingly interconnected world.
