IDC Security Summit - Sweden

The European cyber security environment has been volatile in 2025, with major incidents making headlines amidst broader economic and political turmoil.

IDC research shows that cyber security budgets are under increasing pressure, but how might this change as we finish the year and move into 2026? What products and services are European CISOs prioritizing for investment, and how might their internal and external challenges evolve from recent years? And what effect is regulation – for example, NIS2 and DORA – having on the maturity of in-scope organizations?

Drawing on insight from IDC data and engagement with CISOs, this presentation offers insights on how European cyber security leaders are managing risk in a moment of heightened uncertainty, and the actions they are taking to strengthen resilience.

Legacy systems are often overlooked in enterprise security programs. Particularly in an era where AI is changing the way we defend critical systems, it’s important to understand where the vulnerabilities lie and the overall threat landscape. Join us in this session to understand common threats to your mainframe systems and how you can better identify and fill those emerging gaps. 

We’ll dive into key topics, such as: 

• How AI and Regulations are affecting your legacy threat landscape
• Dispelling the myth that legacy systems are inherently more secure than modern alternatives
• What exploits could be on your mainframe environment today
• How to better include your Mainframe in your overall Risk Management strategy, including key takeaways you can start implementing today.

In this session Louise and Daniel from Rapid 7will take us through how to better identify, contextualize, and prioritize risks across today’s dynamic business ecosystems. This session explores modern strategies and practical frameworks that help security leaders move beyond traditional risk assessments, enabling smarter decision-making and stronger resilience in the face of evolving threats.

CISOs are quietly panicking as Q-Day draws closer than expected. Analysts estimate that by 2030, quantum computing will mature enough to break traditional cryptographic algorithms.

The implications are severe – the security of websites, databases, mobile devices, emails, and legal documents may be completely undermined. To counter this looming threat, organisations are now turning to Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC).

Yet it may already be too late – data intercepted today may be decrypted in just a few years. The longer organisations delay preparing for the quantum era, the greater their exposure becomes. The future of cybersecurity depends on being quantum-ready – and the time to act is now.

Join us for an interactive roundtable session where we take a deep dive into the day’s key security theme. This is a unique opportunity to network and connect with industry peers and subject-matter experts in an open, collaborative setting. 

Discussion points will be introduced on the day to inspire dialogue and exchange of ideas.

In today's digital landscape, the importance of identity protection has never been more critical. With the introduction of the NIS2 Directive and the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), organizations across various sectors are facing stringent cybersecurity requirements. This talk will explore why robust identity protection solutions are essential for compliance with these regulations and how they safeguard against cyber threats. We will discuss why this is crucial for ensuring operational resilience for your business and how proper identity protection helps with maintaining trust in a rapidly evolving digital environment.
