DNV Cybersecurity Research Day 2026: Continuous Risk Management and Certification of Critical Systems – a Challenge in Cybersecurity

10 September 2026, DNV Headquarters, Veritasveien 1, Høvik, Norway (Venue: Big Blue)

We are pleased to welcome you to the DNV Cybersecurity Research Day. This year’s event is dedicated to cybersecurity assurance through continuous risk management and certification.

Cybersecurity assurance is the act of providing confidence to an organization that their digital systems, infrastructure, data, and processes are protected and functioning as intended, even in the face of cyber threats.  Cybersecurity assurance must be continuous and cannot be done at isolated points in time only. Technologies, vulnerabilities, and threats are constantly changing, and stakeholders like vendors and system owners need continuous insight into the cybersecurity state of their systems. Emerging regulations like the EU AI Act and Cyber Resilience Act, introduce new compliance requirements for both providers and owners of digital systems and services.

DNV is currently conducting research addressing these challenges, and we dedicate this day to sharing the latest research results and discussing the road ahead. We invite research partners, authorities, and industry representatives to participate.

You will learn about the latest knowledge and tools developed through research, and we will facilitate discussions among participants on challenges, needs, and recommendations for the future.

Who should attend

This event is relevant for industry leaders and specialists, CISOs, researchers, authorities, and other experts concerned with cybersecurity risks, resilience, and compliance.

Registration

Participation is free, but advance registration is required. Seating is limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, with priority given to external (non-DNV) participants.
