Infosecurity Europe is sharpening its 2026 programme around cyber conflict, cross-border resilience, and the geopolitical strain now shaping security decisions across Europe. Former Ukrainian foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba will headline the London event on 3 June with a keynote on Ukraine’s hybrid war, joining a programme that also includes Ciaran Martin and a senior National Cyber Security Centre representative.
The choice of keynote is aligned with the organiser’s latest research, which found 59 per cent of cyber professionals believe geopolitical tensions are making European collaboration harder. The same study found 77 per cent support some degree of EU intervention in a major cross-border cyber crisis, whether through full command powers or a more limited role in critical sectors. The figures underline an industry still pressing for coordination even as political relationships across the region remain unsettled.
Kuleba’s appearance gives the conference a sharper operational frame than the usual policy panel. His session is billed around the integration of cyber attacks, kinetic strikes, and disinformation, with a focus on continuity under sustained pressure. The wider programme follows that line. Martin is scheduled to chair the opening morning on 2 June, while an NCSC keynote on the UK threat landscape will set out how national priorities, regulation, and resilience expectations are shifting.
The event runs at ExCeL London from 2 to 4 June. With Europe balancing supply chain exposure, critical infrastructure risk, and tougher expectations on incident response, the programme suggests this year’s discussion will be shaped less by abstract strategy and more by how organisations operate when geopolitical instability becomes part of the threat model.
