Auckland Cybersecurity Summit 2026
The event is designed for CISOs, security leaders, and practitioners to examine current and emerging issues in cybersecurity. The program combines practical sessions with strategic discussion around evolving threats, regulatory developments, and the technologies influencing cyber defence. It builds on previous regional events focused on cloud security and data protection by bringing these areas together into a single, consolidated forum.
More than 150 cybersecurity professionals from organizations across the Auckland region are expected to participate. The agenda addresses a broad range of technical and governance topics, including the use of artificial intelligence in both offensive and defensive contexts, implementation of zero trust approaches, protection of non-human identities, ransomware preparedness, and management of third- and fourth-party risk.
Additional areas of focus include cyber risk measurement, regulatory and liability considerations, preparation for post-quantum cryptography, and securing emerging technologies such as IoT, operational technology, and edge environments. The event provides opportunities for attendees to review case studies, share experiences, and discuss anticipated challenges and trends shaping cybersecurity in the years ahead.
