About the Event
Next IT Security Benelux (April 2027) brings together senior cybersecurity executives for a one-day summit in Amsterdam. The event operates on an invitation-only basis with attendance capped at 150 delegates. The format includes roundtable discussions, keynotes, expert panels and networking sessions, with no vendor presentations or product pitches.
Security Challenges in Autonomous Systems
A central theme is the governance of autonomous AI agents and agentic ecosystems. As organizations deploy systems that operate with increasing independence, security leaders face questions about trust, control and accountability. The event examines how identity management must evolve beyond human users to encompass machine identities, workload identities, API credentials and AI agent identities, addressing the privilege sprawl that emerges in complex digital environments.
EU Cyber Resilience Act Compliance
Sessions address the practical challenges of operationalizing the EU Cyber Resilience Act, including its requirements for product security, supply chain oversight and ongoing compliance obligations. Discussions connect regulatory requirements to broader concerns about concentration risk and dependencies on third-party providers and cloud platforms.
Who Should Attend
The event targets CISOs, Heads of Security and senior IT leaders responsible for security, risk and compliance in large enterprises, critical infrastructure operators and technology-driven organizations. Attendees should be prepared for peer-to-peer dialogue on zero trust architectures, privileged access management, identity governance and business continuity planning.
