Decoding Global Challenges to Build a Secure Future.
We are an independent, non-partisan think tank dedicated to fostering informed dialogue through high-level global events.
About DSF
Defence and Security Forum has been addressing the hard issues since 1983. We have led informed debates on the critical defence and security issues of our time, analysing the many and varied threats to global stability.
We bring together leading experts to confront the most challenging global defence and security issues of our day.

Events
We curate prestigious events featuring high-profile speakers, offering a distinguished platform for thought leadership and dialogue. Through intimate in-person gatherings - including dinners, lectures, and seminars - we foster meaningful connections and strategic dialogue on pressing international issues.
We bring together policy and subject matter experts, politicians, and academics to debate, analyse, de-code and disseminate global defence and security issues alongside the world’s most pressing geopolitical challenges.
