ManuSec Europe Returns to Munich For its 9th Edition This February!

European manufacturers are grappling with a surge in cyber and ransomware attacks, with increasingly sophisticated threat actors disrupting operations and compromising sensitive data across diverse sectors. Last year, European manufacturers experienced 90% more data breaches over the last year, with 71% of companies now considering cybersecurity as a high priority. 

As factories adopt smarter, more connected systems, they are becoming prime targets. Consequently, this edition of ManuSec Europe will focus on “Securing Our Manufacturers Today To Shape the Future of OT Cyber Security”. Manufacturers face issues through integrating legacy systems with new digital tools, high upfront costs for their cyber programmes, and shortages in skilled labour needed to manage advanced technologies. Hence, the agenda this year will comprehensively explore both the largest issues of today to ensure our manufacturing operations stay secure tomorrow. 

Join us and the top cyber security professionals from Europe’s biggest manufacturers to network, learn, and be inspired. With 2 days of in-depth knowledge exchange, strategy planning and insight building through keynote presentations, real-life case studies, panel discussions, roundtables and networking breaks in Munich on 26th – 27th February 2026, ManuSec Europe is a must- attend for all senior IT & OT security leaders.

Very good event and very smart use of time and space, incorporating seated meals with networking opportunities. It was valuable having companies sharing real use cases in informal settings alongside great discussions about ICS 'hot topics' onstage. Look forward to attending again.
