Cyber security conferences in The Hague

With so much knowledge and expertise at its fingertips, The Hague is a good, easy to reach location for cyber security conferences and events of all sizes. In the digital age, keeping conferences safe and secure is paramount. That The Hague takes cyber issues seriously is seen in its innovative way of ensuring that its own digital infrastructure and that of its conference venues and their suppliers are safe and secure. Security checklists, running security training sessions and security testing of the networks are examples of initiatives. 

The Hague has already hosted the One Conference, the Conference on Cyber Norms, the CyberHub Summit, the Europol-INTERPOL Cybercrime Conference, the (ISC)² pan-EMEA Secure Summit and more. All these events drew on The Hague’s extensive networks and knowledge infrastructure. During the European Cyber Security Month, The Hague played host to numerous cyber security events.

Furthermore, the city teams up with local cyber security companies every year to hold international hackathons. One of them, ‘Hack The Hague’, attracts talented national and international ethical hackers who try to find vulnerabilities in the digital infrastructure of the city of The Hague.
