To go further

Today's digital, technical and geopolitical environment is undergoing rapid transformation. The increase in cyber-attacks, business continuity requirements and the challenges of European sovereignty and operational resilience are leading organizations to rethink their strategies in depth.

Against this backdrop, the NIS2 Directive, which has now come into force at European level, extends the obligations applicable to critical entities and strengthens the security and resilience framework for digital infrastructures. At the same time, the digital sovereignty — i.e. the ability to control infrastructures, data, services and technological components - is now a major strategic challenge for governments and businesses alike.

The notion of resilience is also evolving. It's no longer just a question of avoiding service interruptions, but of being able to maintain operations, recover quickly from incidents and adapt systems in the face of major crises.

In this context, organizations in critical sectors or classified as «significant entities» are now required to put in place enhanced risk management, business continuity and incident response systems. They are also required to improve their governance in terms of cybersecurity and resilience, while paying greater attention to their technological sovereignty, in particular by favoring infrastructures, solutions and services mastered at European or national level in order to reduce strategic dependencies.

This one-day event aims to explore these issues through case studies, workshops and discussions with leading players. This format fosters dialogue between technical experts, operational managers, executives and decision-makers from the public and private sectors, focusing on operational resilience and digital sovereignty.

Topics covered

The event features 1 exhibitor hall and 3 conference rooms.

Did you know? Held simultaneously at the same venue, the DPO Forum Brussels 2026 will offer a unique opportunity to bring together leading data protection experts. This fourth event, to which you will have access in parallel, bears witness to the growing need to integrate data protection as an essential component of cybersecurity, AI governance and European digital resilience.
