Cybersecurity & InfoSec Events in Europe
European infosec has its own character: community-run, less vendor-dominated than its US counterpart, and unusually healthy at the meetup layer. This page tracks the conferences, BSides events, OWASP chapter meetings, AppSec sessions, red-team/blue-team meetups, and capture-the-flag gatherings that make up that scene.
At the large end, you'll find Black Hat EU, Hack.lu, Hack in Paris, NorthSec, CONFidence (Kraków), No Hat (Italy), FOSDEM's security track, and the BSides family that covers cities across the continent (Porto, Budapest, Kraków, Luxembourg, Prague, and beyond). At the community end, OWASP chapter meetups run in every significant tech city, alongside HackTheBox community meetups, Cyber Fresque awareness events, and active local groups for cloud security, cryptography, and reverse engineering. The Chaos Computer Club congresses and related hacker-culture events live in the adjacent Hacker & Maker category rather than here, since the audience and tone are distinct.
Topics span the real breadth of the field: web and mobile AppSec, cloud security (the Kubernetes and AWS attack surfaces in particular), threat modeling, incident response, malware analysis, red teaming, hardware hacking, privacy and cryptography, plus the policy/regulatory tracks that have grown around NIS2, the Cyber Resilience Act, and related European frameworks. Brainberg aggregates these into one feed, so the full European schedule lives in a single view.

Special: IT-Security
Dortmund, 🇩🇪 Germany
Um was geht es dieses mal?
Dieses Mal dreht sich alles um aktuelle Herausforderungen, Best Practices und Trends rund um IT-Sicherheit. Freut euch auf praxisnahe Einblicke, spannende Diskussionen und den Austausch mit Security-Expert:innen.
So leicht können Hacker Ihr Unternehmen über öffentliche Daten angreifen - Mehmet Avci (codecentric)
Jedes Unternehmen hinterlässt einen digitalen Fußabdruck – oft unbemerkt, aber öffentlich zugänglich. Genau diese frei verfügbaren Informationen machen sich Angreifer im Rahmen von Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) zunutze, um gezielte Angriffe vorzubereiten, ohne dabei technische Schutzmechanismen direkt angreifen zu müssen.
In diesem Talk wird gezeigt, wie einfach es für Angreifer ist, Unternehmen allein auf Basis öffentlich verfügbarer Daten zu analysieren und zu kompromittieren. Nach einer Einführung in die Grundlagen von OSINT und die typischen Phasen eines OSINT‑Prozesses werden verschiedene Techniken vorgestellt und eingeordnet. Dazu gehören unter anderem Subdomain‑Enumeration, Google Dorking, die Auswertung von Unternehmensinformationen, Social‑Media‑Analysen, das Sammeln von E‑Mail‑Adressen sowie die Nutzung von Datenlecks und Breach‑Daten.
Anhand praxisnaher Beispiele aus realen Szenarien wird verdeutlicht, wofür diese Techniken eingesetzt werden und wie Angreifer die gewonnenen Informationen miteinander kombinieren, um detaillierte Profile von Organisationen, Infrastrukturen und Mitarbeitenden zu erstellen. Der Vortrag schärft das Bewusstsein dafür, wie aus scheinbar harmlosen Einzeldaten ein ernstzunehmendes Sicherheitsrisiko entstehen kann – und warum OSINT ein zentraler Bestandteil moderner Angriffe ist.
This is fine - until it's not - Christian Uhsat (codecentric)
Was passiert, wenn was passiert? Erfahrungsberichte aus Digitaler Forensik und Incident Response im Kampf gegen Cybercrime, Ransomware und den allgemeinen Wahnsinn.
Hybrides Setup!

Digital Pulse by Jacobs - IT & OT Cybersecurity
🇵🇱 Poland
Digital Pulse is back🔥
Following a successful launch in January, we’re diving straight into IT & OT Cybersecurity. As digital and operational environments become increasingly interconnected from corporate networks to energy grids and manufacturing floors the need to secure both worlds is more critical than ever.
When OT is compromised, the impact goes beyond data. It can mean downtime, operational disruption, safety considerations, or compliance challenges.
Securing these environments while keeping everything running safely and reliably isn’t always straightforward and that’s exactly where the conversation begins.
📅May 14

18:30 - 18:45 Welcome & introduction by Adam Jakubski
18:45 - 19:15 Deepfake, AI and the human factor: the latest threats and practical ways to protect against manipulation by Anna Pieczątkowska
AI is transforming social engineering, making deepfakes, voice cloning and AI-powered phishing faster, cheaper and more convincing than ever. This session explores how criminals use AI-enabled manipulation to exploit trust, influence employees and gain access to money, data or systems. Through real-world examples, we will look at practical ways to recognize warning signs, build stronger verification habits and train people beyond traditional IT-focused awareness. The session will show how organizations can manage human risk in the age of AI with clearer rules, smarter processes and a culture of digital trust, helping teams stay calm, curious and cyber sharp.
19:15 - 19:20 break
19:20 - 19:50 OT CYBERSECURITY GRC: A Practical Guide to Governing, Prioritizing, and Proving Security in Industrial Environments by Stephen Omowumi
Operational Technology is at a turning point, with rising cyber threats, AI-driven attacks and growing attention from regulators and business leaders making traditional, engineer-led approaches no longer enough. This session explores how Engineering, OT Cybersecurity and GRC come together as a sign of true OT maturity in 2026: Engineering owns reliability and safety, OT Cybersecurity defines protection, and GRC integrates cyber risk into the full OT risk lifecycle — from understanding and prioritizing risk to proving assurance. Drawing on work in Water, Power and Advanced Manufacturing, the session shows how GRC brings OT cyber risk into enterprise decision-making, enabling smarter investment, clearer accountability and long-term resilience.
19:50 - 20:05 Networking break
20:05 - 20:35 When Prevention Fails: Consequence‑Driven, Cyber‑Informed Engineering as the Last Line of Defense by Filip Szymanowski
Cybersecurity in OT and critical infrastructure cannot rely only on prevention and detection, as compromise is often a matter of when, not if. This session introduces Consequence‑Driven, Cyber‑Informed Engineering (CCE) as a practical, engineering‑focused framework for identifying high‑consequence scenarios, mapping cyber pathways to physical effects and designing controls that prevent or contain catastrophic outcomes - protecting people, operations, the environment and public trust even when cyber defenses fail.
20:35 - 20:40 Quiz with prizes

How to watch the watcher: Investigating vulnerability scanner reports 101
While teams are overwhelmed by vulnerability assessments, they rarely understand how popular vulnerability scanners arrive at these determinations. Using popular container scanning tools for illustration, we will break down how your tooling goes from beginning a scan to delivering findings. From that foundation, we'll work through how to read bulletins for a particular CVE and understand what the technical language means. Finally, we'll work through how teams can ensure that the results are accurate and applicable.
This webinar will help you:
- Understand how vulnerability scanners work
- Read CVE bulletins like a pro
- Evaluate vulnerability scans to address concerns

Cologne, 🇩🇪 Germany
OWASP Köln ist wieder in den Räumlichkeiten von REWE digital am Standort Carlswerk in Köln-Mülheim zu Gast!
Die Veranstaltung beginnt um 19:00 Uhr, der Vortrag startet um 19:30 Uhr
Schwachstellen in der Cloud - Vorstellung des Cloud Configuration Vulnerability Scoring System (CCVSS) - Kai Schubert
Konfigurationsfehler sind die häufigste Ursache für Schwachstellen in der Cloud. Etablierte Standards sind für die Bewertung dieser Cloud-spezifischen Schwachstellen nur unzureichend geeignet. Beispielsweise sind die Auswirkungen der Ausnutzung eines Konfigurationsfehlers mit den Metriken etablierter Scoring Systeme nicht sinnvoll zu erfassen. Das neue Cloud Configuration Vulnerability Scoring System (CCVSS) liefert dafür eine Lösung: Die Metriken von CCVSS sind angepasst, beziehen die Umgebung mit ein und berücksichtigen die Effektivität mitigierender Maßnahmen. Neben der Vorstellung des CCVSS demonstrieren wir anhand konkreter Praxisbeispiele seine Anwendung.
🏢 Location:
REWE digital, Schanzenstraße 6-20, 51063 Köln, Building 2.20
Kostenlose Parkplätze stehen auf den „REWE digital“-Parkplätzen am Carlswerk rund um das Gebäude zur Verfügung.
