Location: Allianz Arena, Munich, Germany
CPT 2026: Connect. Protect. Transform.
Join Germany’s top voices for Cybersecurity at Munich’s Allianz Arena from March 4–5. Master NIS-2 compliance, AI resilience, and BSI standards through high-level networking and expert keynotes. Secure your strategy for the digital future.

CPT 2026: Strategic Resilience & Digital Sovereignty
Who determines our digital future?
Technological dependencies, data sovereignty, and AI-driven transformation are no longer abstract concepts—they are the decisive factors for Europe’s future. At CPT 2026, we bring together the leading voices of the Munich cybersecurity ecosystem to move from reactive implementation to active sovereignty.
The Key Questions
In the heart of Munich’s tech hub, we address the core challenges of our industry:

• How can we preserve digital sovereignty while maintaining global connectivity?
  
• How much technological dependency is unavoidable — and what are the strategic consequences?

Who sets the rules — governments, global corporations, or the specialized expertise within our network?

Why You Should Attend
CPT 2026 acts as a high-level summit for 400 selected decision-makers and experts, creating a space for perspectives that rarely meet directly.

• Eye-Level Dialogue: Engage with Claudia Plattner (BSI), Dunja Hayali, Uli Hoeneß and top industry leaders.
  
• Knowledge Advantage: 16 interactive Masterclasses (e.g., AI liability, BSI-C5 standards) and 4 panel discussions.
  
• Network & Connect: Strengthen your ties within the Munich Cybersecurity Network and build lasting relationships with technology and policy experts.

Secure your place at the centre of the dialogue and establish your lead in the 2026 transformation.

Hard disks and magnetic tape have a limited lifespan, but glass storage developed by Microsoft could last millennia

Some cultures used stone, others used parchment. Some even, for a time, used floppy disks. Now scientists have come up with a new way to keep archived data safe that, they say, could endure for millennia: laser-writing in glass.

From personal photos that are kept for a lifetime to business documents, medical information, data for scientific research, national records and heritage data, there is no shortage of information that needs to be preserved for very long periods of time.
