CISO Strategies for Securing a Future Digital Europe

Overview

In a time of increasing cyber threats, geopolitical tensions, and economic uncertainty, security leaders face rising pressure to produce precise risk assessments and develop resilient organisations. The challenge isn’t purely technical; it’s strategic: how to manage acceptable risk within limited budgets in a landscape where all business functions are impacted by global volatility. 2026 builds on a wave of regulatory shifts across Europe, yet as AI, cloud, and quantum technologies advance, new risks and regulations will emerge. Fortunately, innovation in the security ecosystem is speeding up. Vendors are providing smarter tools and managed services to support trusted AI, secure cloud adoption, and quantum readiness, offering both strategic guidance and technical reinforcement to address emerging threats directly.

Attendee Impressions

Industry leaders and global influencers shared their experiences on overcoming challenges and seizing new opportunities. Their insights provided practical perspectives and valuable lessons that continue to inspire and guide our community.

Excellent event with interesting content and, above all, abundant opportunities for networking and peers. It is hugely valuable to understand both shared and distinct challenges across borders and sectors.
