The NightWatch 2025

Building critical infrastructure resilience in the face of uncertainty

The NightWatch is our annual industrial cybersecurity gathering, a complimentary event featuring industry thought leaders across a diverse range of global industries. Bringing together the industrial cybersecurity community to discuss and learn from experts and established strategies from the field.

In an era defined by disruption, the resilience of Europe’s critical infrastructure is being put to the test. Economic volatility, geopolitical tensions, and rapid technological change are converging to create new vulnerabilities. Supply chains are under pressure. National security frameworks are being reassessed. Emerging technologies bring both promise and risk.

The NightWatch 2025 will bring together cybersecurity experts, public sector and national security stakeholders, and infrastructure operators to share strategies for achieving security and resilience amid uncertainty across diverse sectors.

 

Where and when

The 8th edition of The NightWatch will be held on Thursday, 30 October at The Tobacco Theatre in the historical center of Amsterdam (with limited seats available). The event will also be streamed live - giving you the option to join us virtually from anywhere.

 

Program highlights

This year’s event offers a timely forum to explore how peers are tackling today’s economic, geopolitical, and technological challenges, and to collaborate towards building a more secure and adaptable future together.

The programme features a dynamic mix of keynote presentations, expert panels, and interactive sessions and will conclude with a networking session, providing a unique opportunity to exchange perspectives, spark new collaborations, and help shape the future of resilient and sovereign critical infrastructure.
