INSECON International Cybersecurity Congress

The INSECON International Cybersecurity Congress that took place in Poznan, Poland on 15-16 April 2024 at the initiative of the Ministry of the National Defence of Poland, was aimed at increasing awareness of current and future cyberspace threats, presenting tools and good practices for effective security and response.

Over two days, over 1000 participants had the opportunity to explore the latest trends, challenges and innovations in cybersecurity. The Congress focused on the strategic aspects of cyber-security/defence, which are crucial to national, European and global security.

Prominent Polish politicians, senior military personnel from Poland and other EU Member States, representatives of the European Union and NATO, gave presentations and shared their experiences and visions on today's cyber security/defence challenges.

The European Security and Defence College (ESDC), the main EU level entity mandated to provide training and education on security and defence, presented its vision on training and education in the cyber domain. The ESDC currently offers more than 40 cybersecurity curricula and trains nearly 1000 personnel in the cybersecurity domain.
