Resilience

This year's CISO preconference followed the same format as the last: three presentations, followed by an "Oxford-style debate".

After three years, CISODAY2026 has become a fixture on the Dutch cybersecurity calendar.

The manufacturing industry, business services, and retail are the hardest hit by ransomware. The time between the discovery and exploitation of a new security vulnerability has dropped from 4 days to 24 hours.

The HackShield Foundation and CISO Community Netherlands are joining forces to systematically strengthen digital resilience in the Netherlands.

Many organizations are struggling to keep up with the security of applications, APIs, and AI workloads. Fewer than a third of surveyed professionals are confident in the overall security of applications.

The board of CISO Community Netherlands is issuing an urgent warning to senior leadership across both the private and public sectors regarding the emergence of a new generation of AI models.

Attackers exploit predictable IT environments. Even with zero trust, MFA, and EDR, threats move freely once inside. Controlled unpredictability introduces a new layer of defense.

The threat landscape has evolved significantly. Cyberattacks continue to change, increasing in scale and complexity.

Investigative services are going after cybercriminals more frequently and more effectively than ever before. However, smaller and medium-sized organizations are now being targeted more often.

As the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics commence on February 6, the world will focus on athletic performance. Less visible, but equally significant, is the extensive digital infrastructure needed.
