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. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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:<br\/>How can we as Europe maintain control, resilience, and trust in our digital future?<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A program focused on resilience, continuity, and autonomy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year&#8217;s program is built around the three pillars of digital sovereignty: legal, technical, and strategic control.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The congress opens with <strong>keynotes by Lokke Moerel<\/strong> and <strong>Liesbeth Holterman<\/strong>, two leading experts in the field of digital rights, governance, and security strategy.<br\/>They analyze Europe&#8217;s digital dependency and provide concrete insights into how organizations can regain more control through better governance and technological independence.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the plenary sessions, participants can choose from <strong>three parallel tracks<\/strong>, each with its own perspective:<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Resilience of digital society<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This track addresses emerging threats, mitigation strategies, and ways to build trust in critical digital systems.<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Continuity of operational technology (OT)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here the focus is on how industries, energy companies, and infrastructures can remain operational during cyber incidents or geopolitical disruptions.<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Strategic and tactical autonomy for the Netherlands<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This track focuses on policy frameworks, European collaborations, and technological initiatives that contribute to national and European autonomy.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The day concludes with an inspiring keynote by <strong>Bert Hubert<\/strong>, who translates the concept of digital autonomy into three core concepts: <strong>confidentiality, agility, and resilience<\/strong> \u2014 delivered with his characteristic humor and sharp insights.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>More than just a congress<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Security Congress 2025 is not just a series of lectures \u2014 it is a networking and knowledge hub for professionals who shape the future of cybersecurity and governance.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Participants receive 5 PE points, making the event particularly valuable for professionals maintaining their ISACA or NOREA certification.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Visitors can expect:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Practical knowledge through sessions, case studies, and expert panels<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Networking opportunities with professionals from government, business, and academia<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Concrete insights that are directly applicable in policy and practice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the years, Security Congress has grown into a place where ideas lead to real collaboration. Many initiatives and partnerships have originated here \u2014 proof of the lasting impact of this congress. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why RiskStudio is present<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At RiskStudio, we believe that digital sovereignty begins with insight.
