For me the key takeway today was to share experiences, gain experience about incidents that have occured with others and thus prepare ourselves better.

Security Navigator 2026
Our team gathered the latest global intel and compiled our insights into a classified mission report called ‘Security Navigator’.
Multiple sources confirm the rapid growth of organised cybercrime into an industrialised, AI-driven threat, shaped by geopolitical tensions. Numerous foreign actors try to destabilise Europe, and in the middle of it all sits Belgium: a key strategic and political centre with a big target on its back.
