Rome Forges Europe’s Shield
Do you know what risks are keeping Europe’s cybersecurity leaders up at night?
Rome will host the largest European cybersecurity forum this October.
The threat landscape in Europe keeps growing, and acting separately is no longer enough to contain today’s risks.
Cybertech Europe 2026 is born precisely from that urgency: bringing together in one space those who make decisions and those who suffer the consequences of not making them in time.
On October 13 and 14, everything changes in Rome.
The La Nuvola convention center will welcome government officials, CISOs, private sector leaders, and international experts. This will not be a ceremonial gathering: the program includes conferences, roundtables, and case studies based on real-world situations, along with an exhibition area where startups and major companies will showcase their latest tools. The objective is clear: to generate decisions, not just conversations.
Artificial intelligence complicates everything, including defense.
One of the central themes of the event will be AI itself: how to use it to detect threats faster and how to stop those who are already using it to attack. Added to that are Zero Trust models, critical infrastructure protection, and national cyberdefense. These are the same fronts that bodies such as CISA and European CERTs have been flagging as priorities for months.
Public-private cooperation is no longer optional: it is the only way forward.
Cybertech Europe has been active since 2014, and with each edition the agenda reflects the real state of the threat. The fact that in 2026 the focus is on digital resilience is no coincidence: it is a direct response to an environment where attacks on critical infrastructure have multiplied and fragmentation between countries creates exploitable weaknesses.
But this does not only affect governments.
Any company with European suppliers or EU citizens’ data falls within the risk perimeter that Rome will be debating.
Digital interdependence means that a breach in one sector spreads rapidly to others.
More than 40% of serious incidents in European critical infrastructure originated with an external supplier.
The risk does not wait until October to materialize.
What is debated at Cybertech Europe 2026 will reflect threats that are already active. That is why understanding what priorities CISOs and official European bodies are setting right now is just as relevant as applying the latest patch.
The European strategy has cracks that urgently need closing.
One of the most anticipated debates revolves around digital resilience and coordination among member states. Directives such as NIS2 have pushed many organizations to raise their security posture, but implementation is uneven. There are sectors that have still not updated their systems, and that asymmetry creates weak points that attackers identify and exploit before anyone reacts.
European CISOs have been raising the alarm about the same problem for months.
The shortage of cybersecurity talent, combined with the speed at which threats evolve, leaves many organizations in a reactive position. Cybertech Europe 2026 will put collective response models and digital trust frameworks on the table, aiming to change that dynamic before the next major incident forces the issue.
Malicious AI is no longer a future scenario—it is the present.
Attackers use artificial intelligence to personalize phishing campaigns, automate exploits, and evade detection. What used to require weeks of preparation can now be executed in hours, and traditional defense systems are not calibrated for that speed.
This is where the debate becomes urgent.
Cybertech Europe 2026 will bring together precisely those who design the responses: from the teams managing real-time detection to the public policy officials who decide what resources are allocated to cyberdefense. The gap between these two worlds remains one of the biggest structural problems in the European ecosystem.
Knowing what is decided there matters now.
The conclusions from Rome will set the regulatory agenda for the months that follow. If your organization is not following that debate, it will arrive late to changes that are already underway.
What you can do
- ✓Check whether your organization already complies with NIS2.
- ✓Assess which external suppliers have access to your critical systems.
- ✓Apply the priority patches flagged by your national CERT.
