qSkills™ Security Summit | October 26, 2026

Cybersecurity is more than just technology – it is strategy, responsibility, and often a matter of human decisions under pressure. This is exactly where the qSkills™ Security Summit comes in.

When: Monday, October 26th
Where: Nuremberg, Marble Hall at the Industrial Museum

Main Theme: Cyber-Resilience 2026 – Strategies for a World in Crisis Mode

The opening is marked by the Keynote from Jochen Werne, which offers an unusual perspective: What lessons can be drawn from history – and what do they mean for the current turning point that many organizations find themselves in today?

Building on this, Prof. Kipker shows how these insights can be put into practice. His focus is on not just understanding developments, but being ahead of them – with a pragmatic view of regulatory, technical, and organizational requirements.

Another perspective is brought by Prof. Becker: He illuminates how people actually make decisions in crisis situations – and why these decisions are often not as rational as we often assume. An aspect that is often underestimated in security strategy, but can be crucial.

The program is complemented by current topics such as securing supply chains and the security of Operational Technology (OT) – areas where risks are becoming increasingly complex and critical for business.

The qSkills™ Security Summit invites you to rethink familiar topics, better understand connections, and take away impulses that have an impact beyond the event day.

The qSkills™ Security Summit consistently focuses on content quality – from practice to practice. Exhibitor areas and sales pitches are deliberately absent here.

At the same time, the qSkills™ Security Summit offers space for personal networking and open exchange. Take the opportunity to engage with colleagues on an equal footing, share experiences, and gain new perspectives. A shared dinner rounds off the day and provides the perfect setting for in-depth conversations in a relaxed atmosphere.

Additional Value: Attending the qSkills™ Security Summit can be ideally combined with the it-sa Expo & Congress – the leading trade fair for IT security, where qSkills™ has been represented as an exhibitor (Hall 7, Stand 7-246) from the beginning. In addition, during the trade fair period, you can benefit from attractive hotel conditions through our partner contingents.
