Croatia is becoming increasingly focused on improving its cybersecurity and IT security practices. Croatia is seeing an increased focus on cyber education and research in the public, private, and educational sectors. The challenge for Cybersecurity is that Croatia is vulnerable to hackers and cybercriminals due to a lack of resources and capacity.

The Croatian government is committed to boosting IT security. In 2016, the government passed the Cyber Security and Critical Infrastructure Protection Law, which established the National Cyber Security Protection System and Cyber Security Center. The government is also working to establish national standards and regulations for IT security.

In response to the increasing need for cybersecurity, Croatia has hosted several cyber conferences and events to discuss and promote cybersecurity topics. The annual Croatian Security Conference (CroSec) is held in Zagreb and focuses on information security. The Croatian Information Security Conference also takes place in Zagreb and focuses on IT security topics. Additionally, the Croatia Information Security Summit (CROSTIS) takes place in Zagreb and covers topics related to IT and cyber security.

The Croatian government is taking steps to ensure the security of the country's digital infrastructure. The Ministry of Science and Education launched the National Cyber Security Initiative, which provides resources to educate the public and teach cybersecurity best practices. Additionally, the government has established several cybersecurity research centers and programs focused on researching and developing new IT security strategies.

20th May 2026 | Span Cyber Security Arena 2026

In an era of rapid technological change and increasingly sophisticated threats, we are refocusing on the essential building blocks of cyber security, the foundational practices that underpin every resilient defense strategy.

It is time to re-examine what really matters. Have we become so focused on complexity that we have lost sight of the core principles that quietly hold everything together? Or is mastering the foundations the most advanced move we can make?

We’ll explore core topics such as managing access, asset maintenance, and data classification. These timeless principles remain on the front line of defense - and yet they are often the most overlooked. We'll also examine how new regulatory requirements like DORA and NIS2 Directive reinforce the importance of these foundational controls across both public and private sectors. Building on insights from the last conference, we’ll consider how these controls can be embedded into systems that are not only secure by design, but also resilient to the unpredictability of human behavior.

Whether you’re a technical specialist or not, Span Cyber Security Arena will provide clarity, structure, and hands-on experience for strengthening your cyber posture. Participate in keynote lectures, hands-on workshops, panel discussions, and real-world case studies delivered by Croatian and international information security professionals.

Returning to the core principles of cyber security is not just a starting point; it’s an ongoing priority. Join us as we refocus on what truly strengthens our defenses.
