Cyber Security for Critical Assets (CS4CA) Europe 2026
Europe faces a threat environment influenced by geopolitical tensions, the war in Ukraine, and shifting transatlantic dynamics. Risks range from state-backed cyber operations to persistent ransomware activity, increasing pressure on critical infrastructure operators to strengthen defensive capabilities.
Against this backdrop, the event focuses on the theme “Ensuring security through an unstable threat landscape,” addressing current cybersecurity challenges affecting essential services and infrastructure.
Recent industry findings indicate that a large majority of European critical national infrastructure organisations experienced data breaches within the past year. Although regulatory frameworks such as NIS2 and the Cyber Resilience Act have been introduced, many organisations continue to face gaps in policy implementation, technical safeguards, and workforce training. This underscores the need for practical knowledge exchange, coordinated action, and closer industry collaboration.
The latest edition convenes senior security leaders from critical sectors including oil and gas, utilities, mining, chemicals, transportation, and healthcare. Guided by an expert steering committee, the program is designed to address priority concerns relevant to operators of critical infrastructure across Europe.
