Cybersecurity creates security in a digital world – including critical infrastructures. At Europe's largest IT security trade fair, it-sa Expo&Congress, the industry can expect to find concentrated expertise and trends in services and products. This is where the industry's key players network to ensure a secure digital future that is as innovative, resource-efficient and gender-equitable as possible.

Our events are global platforms for sustainable innovation.

Digital & on site

As a trade fair and congress, it-sa provides inspiration and expertise. Hardware and software in live demonstrations, training and consulting: a digital guide leads visitors through the offerings. Compared to the print catalogue, the app reduces the ecological footprint – as do the digital formats of the it-sa 365 digital platform, which enable virtual participation and exchange without travel.
