The 2016 Security Jam report provides insights from 48 VIPs and close to 2,500 participants from 131 countries on global security challenges, from early warning and radicalization to climate change, Middle East security and the future of policing.
Gateway House’s Fellow for National Security, Ethnic Conflict and Terrorism, Sameer Patil, hosted a live chat on the Geopolitics of Cybersecurity Cooperation. The report contains Sameer’s one-page summary of the chat.

The report also picks up Sameer’s idea of creating digital counter-messaging communications centres to counter violent extremism as one of the best suggestions that emerged from the Jam.
The Security Jam is a massive global brainstorm which will be held entirely online from April 25-28, 2016. Several thousand participants – civilian and military government officials, representatives of international organizations, the civil society and NGOs, academia, think tanks, the media, and the private sector – will unite around a virtual table to develop innovative solutions to global security challenges.
This will be the fourth Security Jam. Recommendations will be presented to EU and NATO leaders and national heads of state and government, as well as senior leadership at the UN, OSCE and other regional and international organisations and decision makers.
The 2016 Security Jam is organised around six topics, running in parallel for 77 straight hours. In writing only, participants develop solutions at the strategic, tactical and operational levels of the various issues at hand. Jammers can take part in discussions from as little as 15 minutes to as much as 77 hours.
The topics include:
- Strategic foresight and earlier warning,
- Global partnerships for conflict prevention,
- A regional security architecture for the middle east,
- Foreign military engagement 2025,
- Policing 2025: new strategies against organised crime,
- Answers to radicalization and violent extremism.
