Obrela is sponsoring the IDC IT Security Summit 2026, a premier gathering of cybersecurity, technology, and business leaders focused on securing the modern enterprise in an AI-driven world. Taking place in Cologne, Germany, on 9th September at Steigenberger Hotel Köln, the event brings together senior executives and security leaders to discuss how organizations can strengthen trust, governance, and resilience as digital transformation accelerates.
Event Overview
The IDC IT Security Summit explores how enterprises can address the growing complexity of cyber threats while enabling innovation and digital growth. As organizations increasingly adopt AI, cloud services, and advanced analytics, security strategies must evolve to protect critical assets and maintain operational resilience.
Germany’s cybersecurity landscape is rapidly developing, with significant investment expected across software, cloud-native security, and analytics technologies, driven by evolving regulatory frameworks such as the EU AI Act, NIS2 Directive, and DORA.
Obrela’s Participation
As a partner of the event, Obrela will:
- Host a Connect Roundtable session about:
How can cyber risks be operationalized and quantified in order to strategically manage security investments?
Cybersecurity leaders are increasingly challenged to demonstrate how security investment translates into measurable business outcomes. This session explores how organizations can operationalize cybersecurity through outcome-based delivery, quantified cyber risk, and resilience-first prioritization. Moving beyond fragmented tools and isolated initiatives, the discussion will focus on building security models aligned with operational continuity, faster recovery, and measurable risk reduction. Attendees will gain practical perspectives on prioritizing investments based on business impact and strengthening resilience through repeatable, outcome-driven cyber operations.
- Deliver a thought leadership keynote presentation
Old Patterns, New Technology: Three gaps in everyday AI use and how to close them.
Shadow AI, access nobody owns, and a response that is too slow: two of these three gaps are already familiar from the cloud migration, one is genuinely new. The session frames the situation with current industry data and shows how to close the gaps with sanctioned paths, clear ownership and mandates settled in advance.
These sessions will provide an opportunity to discuss how organizations can strengthen their cybersecurity posture through advanced integrated cybersecurity services and continuous threat visibility.
