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.

The 8th edition of The NightWatch brings together Europe’s leading cybersecurity experts, national security stakeholders, and critical infrastructure operators to address one urgent question: how do we build resilience in an era of disruption? From geopolitical tensions to rapid technological change, the event delivers actionable strategies through keynotes, panels, and real-world case studies—helping CISOs and security leaders across energy, maritime, healthcare, manufacturing, and transport sectors strengthen their defenses and adapt to uncertainty.
