Look around. Who's doing security right?
Because in the daily chaos, it's easy to dismiss: the patch that keeps getting rescheduled, logins with too much access, zero trust on paper only.
Here's what no one tells you about security conferences.
The best part isn't the keynotes, exhibition floor, or even the networking (although we'll get to that).
It's hearing others talk about the problem you've been quietly dealing with for months.
A problem you knew existed but didn't know how to articulate. That's what Infosecurity Europe is built for.
If you're asking, "What am I actually walking away with?", that's the right question, and this post is your roadmap.
In this article, you'll find:
- Answers to your top questions about Infosecurity Europe 2026
- What the sharpest minds in EU cybersecurity are talking about this year
- The most popular networking events to see and be seen by industry leaders

#1 Answers to your top questions about Infosecurity Europe, 2026
What is Infosecurity Europe 2026, and why should I attend?
Infosec is the largest cybersecurity conference in Europe. It's where EU specific pressures like NIS2/DORA readiness and cross-border supply chain risk meet honest conversations and practical solutions.
You should attend if you want more than high-level theory. Think real case studies and strategies from people who live under the same regulatory pressures you do. If you want clarity instead of chaos, this is where you'll find it.

#2 What the sharpest minds in EU cybersecurity are talking about this year
The threats hitting your business in 2026 aren't the same ones in 2023.
They're faster, smarter, and increasingly automated.
This year's agenda zeroes in on agentic AI, emerging ransomware tactics, the post quantum threat, and the shrinking gap between misconfiguration and exploitation.
How many theaters (stages) will there be at Infosecurity Europe 2026, and what are their confirmed sessions?
In 2026, Infosecurity Europe will offer 11 theaters (stages), each with their own sessions.
- Keynote stage (29 sessions). This is where you get special insights from the biggest names in cybersecurity and curated content from the Advisory Council of leading UK CISOs. Don't miss the exciting keynotes on agentic AI defense (NVIDIA), the post-quantum threat (Forescout), and the UK national cyber strategy (NCSC).
- AI & cloud security (13 sessions). Attend these sessions if you want the latest on deepfakes, AI driven phishing, attacks on your own LLMs — plus real-world solutions to IAM failures and misconfigurations.
- Resilience and cyber risk (12 sessions). If you're a senior decision maker, this one's for you. The focus is incident response, supply chain risks, and ransomware preparedness, especially in Operational Technology (OT) and industrial environments.
- Cyber strategies (31 sessions). Every session here has been reviewed, graded, and selected by the Advisory Council, so you know the content has passed a serious quality filter. This is where strategic business challenges meet real, actionable solutions.
- Deep dive stage (13 sessions). You've heard the "hype." This is where you get the "how." Attend in-depth presentations and panel discussions, where you get new perspectives & techniques to take back to your organisation. You'll get the rare opportunity to ask questions of those who've already implemented these solutions.
- Case studies (20 sessions). These sessions bring together real-world case studies, covering triumphs and hard lessons learned. This means you won't have to make the same expensive mistakes someone else already has.
- Technology showcase (22 sessions). Instead of reading a vendor brochure, this is where you see the tools, test them, and ask the questions that matter to your specific setup.
- Securing the Microsoft ecosystem. If your business runs on Microsoft 365 or Entra ID, this stage is non-negotiable. Sessions focus squarely on the practical challenges of protecting identities, data, and workloads across the Microsoft platform.
- Cyber startups stage (17 sessions). If you want to spot what's coming before it goes mainstream, this is your stage. Here, the focus is on startups operating for three years or less, which means you're getting the freshest, most innovative thinking in the industry – before anyone else has heard of it. And if you make the shortlist for the new Infosecurity Europe Cyber Startup Award 2026, you'll pitch live to the judges on June 2nd, 2026, and get a coveted speaker slot on the Cyber Startups stage on June 3rd, 2026.
- Security workshops (6 sessions). These 90-minute tactical training sessions will be in the South Gallery Rooms, away from the bustling show floor. You'll hear about ransomware capabilities, cyber assessment frameworks, and API security in mixed formats: group work, panels, presentations. This is where you come with a specific problem and leave with a plan.
- Channel zone. Access is reserved for resellers, integrators, MSSPs, distributors, and channel suppliers. You'll hear about buying trends, emerging markets, new channel initiatives, and how to leverage the AI and cloud-dominated market to grow your business. If you're in the channel, this zone was built for you.
