INSECON Congress: cybersecurity without secrets

The INSECON International Cyber Security Congress is one of the most important meetings of cybersecurity IT experts in Central and Eastern Europe and the only one in Poland organised by the Ministry of Defence.

The aim of the congress is to raise awareness of current and future cyberthreats and to present tools and good practices for effective security and response. The programme will include more than a dozen thematic sessions, lectures and discussions with speakers from Poland and abroad, as well as special interactive zones such as CyberHackLab and Cyber Bastion. CyberHackLab is a CTF (Capture the Flag) competition where specialists will test their skills in cyberdefence, while Cyber Bastion will be a practical competition in protecting IT systems from cyberattacks.

In the expo zone, companies and start-ups will showcase breakthrough technologies in cybersecurity, AI and blockchain technologies. Attendees will see what the leading IT service providers, software vendors and critical infrastructure protection companies have to offer, including solutions from Microsoft, Dell Technologies and DAGMA. It is also an excellent opportunity to establish business contacts and discuss potential collaboration with industry leaders.

INSECON will bring together leading experts from the military, government, business and IT sectors to discuss the latest threats and innovative technologies in digital security. Participants will include representatives from the uniformed services, business (including Microsoft, T-Mobile and Dell Technologies) and local governments, as well as critical infrastructure operators. The congress will also provide an opportunity to establish cooperation, share experiences and present innovative products and services to support cybersecurity.

The evening networking event will allow discussions on cybersecurity to continue in a less formal atmosphere, fostering relationship building and collaboration between participants.
