About this session

In a fragmented geopolitical environment, where transatlantic tensions are reshaping the rules of the digital landscape and attack methodologies are evolving faster than defense mechanisms, European CISOs face an unprecedented reality: protecting their organisations is no longer enough; they must build the strategic autonomy of their information systems.

This discussion explores two critical dimensions of cyber risk in 2026:
1. The Global Digital Threat Landscape
• EU–US tensions and the reshaping of digital trust frameworks between Europe and the United States
• The evolution of cyber methodologies, from ransomware to AI-driven hybrid operations and cyber warfare techniques
• Operational resilience and how organisations can absorb, adapt to, and recover from cyber crises
2. European Digital Sovereignty and Strategic Autonomy
• Control over information systems, including architecture, data, and critical dependencies
• Building sovereign capabilities to reduce reliance on non-European solutions for critical business functions
• Strengthening long-term cyber resilience in an increasingly complex geopolitical environment.

Be prepared to share your experiences in this exclusive small gathering.
