IDC: IT Security Summit Barcelona 2026

The IDC IT Security Summit Barcelona brings together senior business and technology leaders to examine how European organisations can build resilient, compliant and trusted digital operations.

As regulatory frameworks tighten and threat actors grow more sophisticated, the summit addresses the strategic imperative of positioning cybersecurity as a business enabler rather than a purely defensive function.
