Cybersecurity in Italy has recently become more of an issue due to the country’s rapidly developing digital landscape and increasing cyber threats. The Italian government, private cybersecurity companies, and universities are all responding with initiatives to improve their digital security.

Cybersecurity is becoming an increasingly popular topic in the Italian media and within academia, and there are several events and conferences to help advance the understanding and practice of IT security. The European Forum on Cybersecurity (EFCS) is the largest annual cybersecurity event in Italy, which brings together experts, practitioners, and researchers from around the world for a series of discussions and lectures.

The Italian government has established several data security initiatives, such as the National Data Security Plan which guides the state’s efforts in protecting sensitive data and reducing cyber threats. There are also several organizations dedicated to cyber protection, such as the Italian Agency for Digital Security (AICS). The agency provides research and certifications for products and processes that meet IT security goals.

The University of Milan also hosts the National Cybersecurity Summer School, a series of workshops designed to spread awareness of the latest technologies and threats in the IT field. The workshops focus on information security standards, current hacking techniques, and advanced IT security solutions.

Ernst & Young is a professional services firm that organizes several conferences and events focused on spreading the knowledge and importance of cybersecurity in business. These events feature industry leaders and experts talking about the latest cybersecurity developments within Europe, as well as the latest strategies to protect companies from cyberattacks.

20th April 2026 | Privacy Symposium 2026

Privacy Symposium 2026 brings together regulators, data governance professionals, researchers, and technology experts to examine global developments in privacy, compliance, and secure data management. While not exclusively focused on cybersecurity, the event strongly connects to cybersecurity through discussions on data protection, regulatory compliance, and the secure use of emerging technologies. Sessions explore evolving international data governance frameworks, responsible data processing practices, and strategies for protecting sensitive information in complex digital environments.

Participants engage with authorities and practitioners addressing real world challenges in privacy engineering, compliance operations, and secure technology adoption. The symposium supports collaboration across legal, technical, and security communities working to strengthen trust, resilience, and accountability in modern data ecosystems.

20th April 2026 | Design, Automation and Test in Europe Conference (DATE) 2026

The Design, Automation and Test in Europe Conference is highly relevant to cybersecurity through its strong focus on hardware security, embedded systems security, and trusted computing. As cybersecurity increasingly depends on systems being secure by design, DATE addresses the foundations that protect modern digital infrastructure. Topics commonly explored include hardware based roots of trust, secure system on chip architectures, resistance to side channel attacks, and protection against hardware Trojans within complex semiconductor supply chains.

The conference also connects cybersecurity with next generation AI and high performance computing by examining how secure, energy efficient architectures can support sensitive workloads. Researchers, engineers, and industry experts working on secure processors, cryptographic hardware, and embedded firmware security benefit from DATE’s technical depth. Its role in advancing secure semiconductor design makes it especially relevant for cybersecurity professionals involved in critical infrastructure, automotive systems, healthcare devices, and emerging AI driven platforms.

18th May 2026 | Red Hot Cyber Conference 2026

The Red Hot Cyber Conference, is the free annual event created by the RHC community to raise interest in digital technologies, digital innovation and cyber risk awareness.

The Fifth Edition, RHC Conference 2026 will be held in Rome, on Monday 18 May (hands-on workshop and Capture The Flag only) and Tuesday 19 May (Conference and Capture The Flag) at Teatro Italia in Via Bari, 18 00161 Roma. Teatro Italia is a 20-minute walk from Termini Station and a 6-minute walk from Metro B in Piazza Bologna (about 600 metres).

As in previous years, there will be the possibility of joining as a “supporting sponsor”. These are the first companies that believe in this initiative and will enable Red Hot Cyber to start work on the conference. In addition, only one of these can join the “Workshop Sponsorship”, which allows the sponsor to play a decisive role in the event and work closely with Red Hot Cyber to organise the day's workshops and young people. These workshops in “hands-on” mode allow young people to be introduced to the world of technology and cyber security.

In addition to the supporting sponsors, as usual there will be 3 sponsorship levels, which are Platinum, Gold and Silver respectively. Coupled with each conference sponsorship, there will always be an advertising package that will allow sponsors to enjoy a range of benefits within the Red Hot Cyber circuit.

To enquire about sponsorship of the Red Hot Cyber Conference 2026 as well as access to the Media Kit and other information summarising sponsorship benefits, please write to sponsor@redhotcyber.com
