About the Event
The Grand Edition of Next IT Security is an in-person cybersecurity conference held in Stockholm. The event opens its typically executive-only format for a single day, welcoming security professionals at all levels. The format emphasizes off-the-record discussions and solution-focused presentations rather than a traditional expo floor with sales booths.
The conference is organized around two distinct spaces. The Intel Room hosts roundtable discussions where attendees examine specific security challenges. The Show Room features technical product presentations that address those challenges directly. This structure aims to connect strategic conversations with practical solutions.
AI Security, Resilience and Risk Management
The agenda covers three main tracks: AI Security and Governance, Resilience, Risk and Recovery, and Leadership, Operations and Culture. Specific discussion areas include securing autonomous AI agents, managing AI risk, protecting AI supply chains and defending against prompt injection attacks. The resilience track addresses ransomware response, exposure management and cyber recovery strategies. Sessions also examine cloud concentration risk, identity defense and the evolving responsibilities of the CISO role.
Geopolitical and Regulatory Considerations
The conference addresses how geopolitical developments affect cybersecurity strategy and operations. Sessions explore regulatory shifts and their implications for enterprise security programs, particularly for organizations managing digital transformation initiatives alongside emerging compliance requirements.
Who Should Attend
The event targets CISOs, CIOs, Heads of Cyber Risk, Security Engineers and IT Directors from large enterprises. It is designed for both decision-makers responsible for security strategy and practitioners handling implementation. Organizations in financial services, healthcare, government and critical infrastructure sectors will find the content particularly relevant.
