Why Security-Congres 2025 is the must-attend event for digital sovereignty
In a world where digital systems are the backbone of our economies, the question of who controls our critical infrastructure has never been more pressing. With growing geopolitical tensions and increasing reliance on non-European technology providers, the theme of digital sovereignty is moving to the top of the agenda for businesses, governments, and cybersecurity professionals alike.
That’s why Security-Congres 2025, taking place on 7 October 2025 at Gooiland in Hilversum, is set to be one of the most important gatherings of the year. Organized by ISACA, NOREA, and PvIB, this 21st edition of the congress brings together thought leaders, technical experts, and policy makers to tackle the urgent challenges of maintaining control over our digital future.
A program built around resilience, continuity, and autonomy
The congress kicks off with keynote sessions from Lokke Moerel and Liesbeth Holterman, both renowned for their expertise in digital rights, governance, and security strategy. They will set the tone for the day by examining the strategic, legal, and technical realities of Europe’s digital dependence.
Participants can then choose between three parallel tracks, each exploring a critical aspect of digital sovereignty:
- Resilience of the digital society – covering emerging threats, mitigation strategies, and building trust in critical systems.
- Continuity of operational technology (OT) – addressing how industries and infrastructure can remain operational in the face of cyber disruption.
- Strategic and tactical autonomy for the Netherlands – focusing on policies, partnerships, and technologies that can strengthen national and European control.
The event will close with an engaging presentation from Bert Hubert, who will break down the concept of digital autonomy into three memorable dimensions: confidentiality, agility, and resilience—delivered with humor and sharp insight.
More than just an event
Security-Congres is more than a series of lectures. It’s a hub for networking, collaboration, and practical learning. With 5 PE points available, it also offers tangible professional development benefits for those maintaining certifications.
Attendees will have the chance to exchange knowledge with peers from government agencies, private industry, and academia. Conversations here often extend beyond the event, leading to collaborations and new initiatives in the months that follow.
