Navigating the new frontier of trust, compliance and innovation

The IDC IT Security Italy 2026 is the definitive event for business, security, and technology leaders to explore how to embed trust, governance, and resilience at the core of digital transformation.

Italy is entering a pivotal stage in its cybersecurity and digital modernization journey. According to IDC, European security spending is forecast to grow at a compound annual rate of around 9.4% through 2029, with software, analytics, and cloud-native protection leading the market. In Italy, organizations are responding to rising cyber threat activity, expanded EU regulatory requirements, as well as growing national efforts to strengthen digital sovereignty and critical infrastructure resilience.
At the same time, AI is transforming Italy’s security landscape. IDC research shows that nearly 40% of European organizations are already investing in AI or automation, and more than 70% expect AI-driven disruption within the next 18 months.

For Italian security leaders, AI represents both an opportunity and a growing area of risk. It is improving threat detection, incident response, and automation, but it is also enabling new attack vectors such as deepfakes, AI-generated phishing, and automated exploitation. In response, Italian organizations are investing in AI-driven analytics, identity and access management (IAM), and managed detection and response (MDR) to enhance protection while maintaining transparency, governance, and ethical AI adoption.

Agenda

The IDC IT Security Summit, is the ultimate meeting point for business, security, and technology leaders looking to embed trust, governance, and resilience at the heart of their digital transformation strategies.

Join IDC analysts and industry experts to explore how to build trusted digital ecosystems that combine innovation with assurance. Gain insights into Italy’s most dynamic sectors and walk away with actionable frameworks to make security a strategic differentiator, not just a reactive cost.

Main Themes

Regulation, Resilience and Value Creation​

Regulatory compliance is no longer a back-office burden, it’s a strategic enabler. We will explore how organizations can embed regulatory mandates (data privacy, cybersecurity laws, emerging AI/tech rules) into core operations, turning requirements into levers for resilience, stakeholder trust, and business value. Keytopics include cyber-by-design, auditability, vendor accountability, and continuity in the face of disruption.

AI, Automation & Responsible Innovation

AI and intelligent agents are transforming how security is delivered, but with great power comes risk. We will explore pragmatically deploying AI: governance models, guardrails for misuse, prioritization of high-impact use cases, and aligning AI systems with trust, transparency, and accountability.

Operations, Analytics and Resilience Engineering

Detection, response, and recovery are now continuous cycles rather than discrete events. We’ll delve into advanced analytics, managed detection & response, orchestration, external threat visibility (supply chain, third parties), and resilience metrics to operationalize security effectiveness.

The Human Factor: Leadership and Culture

Technology alone doesn’t guarantee security. Leadership, culture, and skill development must align. We will focus on transforming teams, embedding security ownership across functions, and equipping leaders to speak the language of risk and trust to the board, CEOs, and business lines.

Incident and Trust Recovery

Breaches will happen, but what matters is how an organization responds. We will cover crisis communication, forensic response, regulatory handling, insurance, stakeholder trust restoration, and turning adversity into credibility.

Sector and Domain Security Challenges

Different industries and environments pose unique security demands. We will focus on securing critical infrastructure (energy, utilities), connected devices and IoT, healthcare, finance, and emerging environments like smart cities or industrial systems.

Performance Meets Responsibility: Can AI Deliver Both?

The IDC AI & Data Summit is a flagship event for CIOs, Chief Data Officers, and AI & Data leaders, as well as business and support function executives and managers driving enterprise transformation through artificial intelligence.

Beyond technology, the IDC AI & Data Summit addresses a central question: can we drive AI that is both high-performing, trustworthy and responsible?
Decision-making, skills, governance, and value creation are now shared challenges across IT, data, and business teams.

Through forward-looking, academic, and business perspectives, the Summit equips decision-makers with the insights needed to drive AI pragmatically and at scale.

Global Overview

In 2025, AI investments in Europe reached $72.5 billion, with over 20% dedicated to generative AI.
While AI is establishing itself as a major strategic lever, scaling it remains a complex challenge.

According to IDC, 68% of European companies cite a lack of AI and data skills as a key barrier, while governance is still struggling to keep pace with usage.

The IDC AI & Data Summit supports technology and business leaders in reconciling AI performance, responsibility, and impact management.

2026 Key Topics

Unlocking Data Value in the AI era

Organizations are shifting from merely “using AI” to strategically unlocking value from their data.Data maturity, encompassing quality, traceability, transparency, and reliability is now a critical lever for driving AI performance and transforming business operations.

Scaling AI: Moving from Pilot Projects to Enterprise Deployment

Moving beyond pilot projects, leaders need a structured approach to scaling AI.
Effective governance, robust operating models, reliable deployments, and thoughtful change management are all critical to embedding AI sustainably at the core of business operations, with control, continuity, and long-term impact.

AI You Can Trust: Transparent, Accountable, Responsible

Performance and responsibility go hand in hand.
Transparency of models, explainable decisions, bias control, and end-to-end auditability are now essential to building user trust, ensuring regulatory compliance, and making AI-driven decisions reliable.

Strategic Data Governance for Sovereignty and Interoperability

Navigating regulatory requirements, data flows, and business priorities, organizations need to strike the right balance.
This means implementing hybrid strategies, adopting shared governance models, and building interoperable architectures — all designed to deliver compliance, drive performance, and enable business agility at scale.

Mastering the New Frontier of Generative AI and Intelligent Agents

As generative AI and intelligent agents extend beyond basic assistance, executives must carefully manage the trade-offs between autonomy, control, cost, and risk.
The real challenge lies in integrating these technologies into business strategy, governance structures, and existing operations – ensuring that AI delivers both innovation and tangible, sustainable value.

Building AI-Ready Organizations: Skills, Leadership, and Culture

AI success depends on people, culture, and leadership.
Organizations must build AI awareness, develop the right skills, foster close collaboration between IT, data, and business teams, and guide change effectively. These elements are essential to embedding AI into daily operations in a sustainable and impactful way.

Rethinking trust, compliance and innovation

The IDC IT Security Summit is the premier event for business, security and technology executives to discuss how trust, governance and resilience can be placed at the heart of digital transformation.rnrnu0026nbsp;rnrnWe are entering a critical phase of digital and cybersecurity development. According to the latest study by IDC, IT security spending in Germany is expected to grow at double-digit rates through 2028, driven by increasing cyber threats, the adoption of AI, and cloud modernisation initiatives. The country’s cybersecurity agenda, which is aligned with the EU AI Act, the NIS2 Directive and DORA, underscores the national commitment to resilience, data protection and digital sovereignty. IDC also notes that software, cloud-native security and analytics solutions will be the fastest-growing segments of the German cybersecurity market as enterprises increasingly adopt integrated and intelligent protection models.

 

Agenda

The IDC IT Security Summit is the ultimate meeting place for business, security and technology leaders who want to put trust, governance and resilience at the heart of their digital transformation strategies. Join IDC analysts and industry experts to learn how to build trusted digital ecosystems that combine innovation with security. Gain insights into Germany’s most dynamic industries – including finance, energy, manufacturing and public services – and take away actionable concepts that will help you turn security into a strategic differentiator rather than just a reactive cost.

Key Topics

Regulation, resilience and value creation

Compliance is no longer a burden on the back office, but a strategic factor. We will examine how companies can integrate legal requirements (data protection, cybersecurity laws, new AI/technology rules) into their core businesses and transform requirements into levers for resilience, stakeholder trust and business value. Key topics include cyber-by-design, auditability, supplier responsibility and continuity in the face of disruption.

 

AI, automation and responsible innovation

AI and intelligent agents are changing the way security is ensured, but with great power comes great risk. We will look at the pragmatic use of AI: governance models, safeguards against misuse, prioritising high-impact use cases, and aligning AI systems with trust, transparency and accountability.

Operation, analytics and reliability engineering

Detection, response, and recovery are now continuous cycles rather than discrete events. We will delve into advanced analytics, managed detection and response, orchestration, external threat visibility (supply chain, third parties), and resilience metrics to operationalise security effectiveness.

The human factor: leadership and culture

Technology alone does not guarantee security. Leadership, culture and skills development must be aligned. We will focus on transforming teams, embedding security responsibility across functions, and empowering leaders to speak the language of risk and trust with the board, CEOs and business units.

Incident and restoration of trust

Violations will always occur, but how a company responds to them is crucial. We cover crisis communication, forensic measures, dealing with regulatory authorities, insurance, restoring stakeholder trust and turning adversity into credibility.

Sector and domain security challenges

Different industries and environments have unique security requirements. We focus on securing critical infrastructure (energy, utilities), connected devices and IoT, healthcare, finance, and new environments such as smart cities and industrial systems.

Dans un contexte de tensions géopolitiques, de dépendances technologiques et de pression réglementaire, la cybersécurité devient un enjeu majeur de souveraineté et de résilience.

L’édition 2026 proposera un format immersif inédit, basé sur un scénario de gestion de crise cyber en conditions quasi réelles, pour explorer les décisions critiques des dirigeants.

Au-delà de la technologie, le Summit mettra l’accent sur la capacité des organisations et des équipes à tenir dans la durée, face à des attaques toujours plus crédibles et sous forte pression.

Contexte

Selon IDC, la cybersécurité est désormais façonnée par la géopolitique et l’IA.
D’ici 2027, un gouvernement sur trois exigera des approches d’IA souveraine pour les secteurs sensibles, tandis que 80 % des organisations feront face à des attaques de phishing exploitant des identités générées par l’IA.

Parallèlement, la montée en puissance des attaques dopées à l’IA – deepfakes, fraude vocale, manipulation de preuves, attaques ciblant les modèles d’IA et usages non maîtrisés (shadow AI) – accroît fortement la charge cognitive et la pression sur les équipes sécurité.

Dans ce contexte, le IDC Security Summit France aide les décideurs à renforcer souveraineté, résilience et capacité de décision face à des menaces toujours plus sophistiquées.

Thèmes principaux

Réglementation, résilience et création de valeur

La conformité réglementaire n’est plus un exercice de conformité isolé, mais un levier stratégique de résilience et de confiance.
Ce thème explore comment les organisations intègrent NIS2, DORA, les réglementations cyber et les nouvelles règles liées à l’IA au cœur de leurs opérations, afin de renforcer la continuité d’activité, la traçabilité, la responsabilité des fournisseurs et la crédibilité auprès des parties prenantes.

IA, automatisation et innovation responsable (attaque + défense)

L’IA et les agents intelligents transforment profondément les opérations de sécurité, tout en introduisant de nouveaux vecteurs d’attaque.

Ce thème aborde à la fois l’IA comme levier de détection et de réponse, et comme outil offensif : deepfakes, fraude vocale, identités synthétiques, attaques ciblant les modèles d’IA (prompt injection, détournement de modèles, shadow AI).

L’événement explorera une adoption pragmatique de l’IA en cybersécurité : gouvernance, garde-fous, priorisation des cas d’usage à fort impact et alignement avec les exigences de transparence, de responsabilité et de confiance.

Opérations de sécurité, analytique et ingénierie de la résilience

Détection, réponse et reprise ne sont plus des événements ponctuels, mais des cycles continus.
Ce thème se concentre sur l’analytique avancée, la détection et réponse managées (MDR), l’orchestration, la visibilité sur les menaces externes (chaîne d’approvisionnement, tiers) et les indicateurs de résilience permettant de piloter l’efficacité réelle de la sécurité.

Le facteur humain : leadership, santé mentale et culture de la sécurité

La technologie ne suffit pas à garantir la sécurité.
Leadership, culture, compétences et santé mentale sont déterminants pour faire de la cybersécurité une responsabilité partagée.

Ce thème met l’accent sur la pression exercée sur les équipes sécurité, la fatigue opérationnelle, le risque de burnout, la gestion des crises dans la durée, et la capacité des RSSI et dirigeants à instaurer des pratiques soutenables, tout en portant un discours clair sur le risque et la confiance auprès des directions générales et des conseils d’administration.

Gestion d’incident et restauration de la confiance (playbooks & simulations)

Les incidents cyber sont inévitables ; ce qui fait la différence, c’est la manière d’y répondre.

Ce thème couvre la préparation à la crise, les plans et playbooks de réponse à incident, leur génération et adaptation dynamique par l’IA, les exercices de simulation, la communication interne et externe, les investigations techniques et réglementaires, et les leviers permettant de restaurer durablement la confiance après un incident majeur.

Enjeux sectoriels et sécurité des environnements critiques

Les exigences de sécurité varient fortement selon les secteurs et les environnements.
Ce thème se concentre sur la protection des infrastructures critiques (énergie, utilities), des environnements industriels et IoT, de la santé, de la finance, ainsi que des nouveaux territoires numériques comme les villes intelligentes, où la continuité et la sécurité sont indissociables.
