IT Security Insights 2026

The conference begins with a breakfast for all participants. Arrive early to connect with your peers and meet our partners in the exhibition area.

Session involves information related to the threats involved in our AI space and how do we mitigate AI based threats with enhancement on building AI based cybersecurity skills

Key takeaways:

• How do you build AI enhanced skills in cybersecurity ?
•  What are the threats evolving under the AI space ?
• How does the Global AI Cybersecurity market look like ?
• How does EC-Council help in the AI space ?

Quantum computers have the potential to break widely used public-key cryptosystems, such as RSA and elliptic-curve cryptography, which are a part of our current communication infrastructure. Post-quantum resilience is a field to address these vulnerabilities to ensure the long-term security of our data and communications. We address the practical aspects of transition to post-quantum cryptography covering strategy, inventory, execution, and validation as well as touch upon outstanding challenges of quantum key distribution and what might lie ahead.

The breakout sessions will include interactive workshops and live demonstrations, giving attendees the flexibility to select the topics most relevant to their interests. 

• Is security a part of digital sovereignty?
• Trustworthiness is building relationships - how does information technology fit into it?
• Are these three subjects related, and if so, how?

We invite you to participate in our distinguished roundtable sessions, providing a platform to voice your perspectives and engage in knowledge exchange with esteemed cybersecurity experts. Discussions will cover a wide range of critical topics shaping the cybersecurity landscape. The format will include two rotations, with delegates transitioning to new tables every 40 minutes to foster broader interaction.

“Many organizations are struggling to adapt to an increasingly unpredictable world. Economic recession and geopolitical instability has made it even more challenging to stay on top of Cyber Security. With Generative AI in the hands of adversaries we now have to rethink our understanding of the cyber threat landscape. 

Key Takeaways:

• Have your organization been attacked in an increasing rate compared to previously?
• Are you scaling up your Cyber Security and how is this done while in economic uncertainty?
• Have the type of controls you implement changed to deal with immediate threats? How do you balance this against your long-term plans?
• Have the geopolitical instability put new security topics on the agenda? For example Digital Soverignty in Cloud or Disaster Recovery?

Here we can explore how modern awareness tools like phishing simulations, gamification and behavior-based nudges drive behavioral change, especially against evolving threats like AI-based phishing or deepfakes.

The rise of autonomous AI agents and generative AI presents a significant security paradox for organizations. While these technologies offer immense potential for productivity and efficiency by automating complex tasks and decision-making, they also introduce new and sophisticated security risks.

This roundtable will explore the security challenges and opportunities presented by agentic AI. We'll discuss how to balance the benefits of autonomous operations with the need for strong security protocols, examine potential attack vectors, and address the complex questions around accountability when AI agents make independent decisions. The goal is to provide actionable insights for security leaders and business executives to navigate this evolving landscape and protect their organizations.

Let’s be honest — in cybersecurity and tech, this gap is real.

• C-level leaders think in terms of revenue, market position, shareholder trust.
• Technical teams think in terms of system stability, vulnerabilities, compliance.

Both are right. But the friction — the miscommunication, the misaligned priorities — can cost companies time, money, and sometimes their reputation.

The session is about calling it out, unpacking it, and — most importantly — figuring out how to fix it.”

Key takeaways:

• Automatically class your information based on rules or not
• Have different applications/databases/locations for Confidential and Restricted"
• Have all information in same application but with instructions how to handle the different classes

Breakout sessions will feature workshops and live demos, allowing attendees to choose the sessions that best fit their interests.
