Cloud & Cyber Security Expo Paris 2026: The Key Cyber Issues Driving the Program
On November 18 and 19, 2026, Cloud & Cyber Security Expo Paris will bring together experts, decision-makers, and cybersecurity professionals at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles to discuss the major transformations reshaping the industry. Artificial intelligence, incident management, regulation, resilience, and geopolitics: these are the themes shaping the conference program for this new edition.
These themes reflect a now well-established reality: cybersecurity can no longer be addressed solely from a technical perspective. It directly affects strategy, governance, and an organization’s ability to anticipate risk.
AI and cybersecurity: between new threats and new uses
Artificial intelligence will play a major role in the discussions. Among the questions to be addressed: is AI accelerating the threat faster than companies can contain it? Another topic on the agenda: how can AI systems themselves be secured, from models to the data and decisions they produce?
These discussions will compare emerging AI uses with the new security challenges they raise.
Learning from cyber incidents
Another major part of the program is feedback from the field. The conference “Incident review: what we had not anticipated” will focus in particular on the gap between the plans prepared in advance and the operational reality when an incident occurs.
This topic is central for cyber teams. The ability to respond, coordinate stakeholders, and keep the business running is becoming just as important as prevention itself.
NIS2, CRA: beyond compliance
Regulatory changes will also be part of the discussions. With the NIS2 directive and the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), companies must integrate new requirements into their processes, architectures, and cybersecurity practices.
The program will notably raise this question: should these regulations be seen as a simple compliance exercise, or as an opportunity to more deeply transform architectures and governance models?
Understanding the impact of the geopolitical context
International tensions and the emergence of new forms of cyberthreats have strengthened the link between cybersecurity and geopolitics. Sessions will be dedicated to the latest cyber geopolitical developments and their concrete consequences for businesses.
The goal: to better understand how international developments can affect security strategies, the supply chain, and risk management.
Feedback from major organizations
To enrich these discussions, Cloud & Cyber Security Paris will host speakers from organizations such as RATP, La Poste Groupe, the Ministry of the Armed Forces, Zurich Insurance, Crédit Agricole, and Baccarat. The idea is to bring together perspectives from different sectors and share practical approaches to common challenges.
Two days to compare approaches
Beyond the conferences, the event will be an opportunity to meet the organizations supporting companies in their cybersecurity, data protection, cloud, and resilience challenges. Visitors will be able to continue discussions with experts, discover solutions on the market, and compare their own issues with those of other professionals.
This edition also marks the 10th anniversary of Tech Show Paris, of which Cloud & Cyber Security Expo Paris is a part. Several networking and meet-and-greet sessions are planned throughout the two days.
Cloud & Cyber Security Expo Paris will take place on November 18 and 19, 2026, at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles.
