TOTAL SECURITY 2026 by POLAND SECURITY CONGRESS
Total Security is the fall edition of the Poland Security Congress – an event that brings together key stakeholders responsible for the country’s security and resilience: public administration, the military, the defense sector, cybersecurity experts, critical infrastructure operators, academia, the business community, and local governments.
We are gathering in Warsaw to discuss the most important challenges facing Poland’s security. The event’s program focuses on strategic areas for building national resilience – from defense, critical infrastructure, and energy security, through cybersecurity and civil protection, to modern technologies, industry, and communications.
This year’s edition places particular emphasis on practical solutions, cross-sector cooperation, and specific actions that government, business, and public institutions can implement today to enhance the resilience of the state and organizations against contemporary threats.
Our mission is to create a platform for dialogue and cooperation that brings together government, the military, academia, and business around solutions that strengthen Poland’s security, resilience, and technological sovereignty.
