The trade fair sees itself as a network for industry-specific IT security solutions and a platform from experts for experts. With security topics that are always up to date, it is a trend barometer for the entire IT security market.
After a very successful it-sa Expo&Congress 2025, we are looking forward to seeing you again in 2026 and to the personal exchange with the IT security industry in Nuremberg.

If you want to future-proof your company's IT infrastructure, the it-sa Expo&Congress in Nuremberg is a must-attend event.

Five good reasons why you should visit it-sa Expo&Congress in Nuremberg:

Renowned IT security providers, distributors and start-ups will join you in taking on the challenge of protecting the most important assets of the digitalised world – our data, processes and IT structures.

The it-sa Expo&Congress has always offered IT security start-ups a special area for new, creative approaches to more IT security. Together with the ATHENE Startup Award UP25@it-sa for the best cyber security start-up in the DACH region, we would like to firmly integrate fresh, innovative ideas and the minds behind them into the IT security community. Meet the winners and other start-ups at the special start-up area.

Expert lectures on current security topics from the fields of technology and management will be held throughout the trade fair. The lectures in the "it-sa insights" series of topics provide product-neutral current insights into industries, trends, legal issues and special topics. You can also look forward to the popular Special Key Note with a special guest speaker, which always attracts particular attention on the last day of the trade fair.

The accompanying congress programme Congress@it-sa which is already starting on Monday, also offers intensive knowledge transfer and in-depth technical discussion with numerous, predominantly cost-free, topic blocks from associations, industry associations and exhibitors and underlines the relevance of it-sa as a digital platform for cyber security.
