In a world where digital systems form the foundation of our economy, the question of who controls our critical infrastructure is more urgent than ever. Due to increasing geopolitical tensions and a growing dependence on non-European technology providers, digital sovereignty is high on the agenda of governments, businesses, and cybersecurity professionals.
Therefore, Security Congress 2025, taking place on October 7, 2025 in Gooiland, Hilversum, is considered one of the most important cybersecurity gatherings of the year.
Organized by ISACA, NOREA, and PvIB, the 21st edition of the congress brings together thought leaders, technical experts, and policymakers to answer one central question:
How can we as Europe maintain control, resilience, and trust in our digital future?
A program focused on resilience, continuity, and autonomy
This year’s program is built around the three pillars of digital sovereignty: legal, technical, and strategic control.
The congress opens with keynotes by Lokke Moerel and Liesbeth Holterman, two leading experts in the field of digital rights, governance, and security strategy.
They analyze Europe’s digital dependency and provide concrete insights into how organizations can regain more control through better governance and technological independence.
After the plenary sessions, participants can choose from three parallel tracks, each with its own perspective:
Resilience of digital society
This track addresses emerging threats, mitigation strategies, and ways to build trust in critical digital systems.
Continuity of operational technology (OT)
Here the focus is on how industries, energy companies, and infrastructures can remain operational during cyber incidents or geopolitical disruptions.
Strategic and tactical autonomy for the Netherlands
This track focuses on policy frameworks, European collaborations, and technological initiatives that contribute to national and European autonomy.
The day concludes with an inspiring keynote by Bert Hubert, who translates the concept of digital autonomy into three core concepts: confidentiality, agility, and resilience — delivered with his characteristic humor and sharp insights.
