Redefining security in the face of AI-driven attacks, fragile supply chains and a global skills gap
The must-attend gathering for every IT, security and business decision-maker
Today’s businesses are under relentless pressure from an expanding and increasingly sophisticated cyber threat landscape. AI-driven attacks are accelerating at an alarming pace, with threat actors weaponising AI to launch hyper-personalised phishing campaigns, create convincing deepfakes and automate large-scale intrusions. Meanwhile, persistent supply chain weaknesses continue to expose organisations through trusted third-party software, hardware and service providers. Compounding this is a critical global cyber security skills shortage, leaving many organisations under-equipped to detect, respond to and recover from attacks. At the same time, a new wave of emerging risks is reshaping the security agenda. Quantum computing threatens to render today’s encryption obsolete. Critical infrastructure - from undersea cables to national power grids - is increasingly in the crosshairs. Identity fraud is evolving rapidly, fuelled by biometric exploitation and AI-generated impersonation. The result is a threat environment that is not only more dangerous, but fundamentally more complex.
The 6th annual ITWeb Security Summit Cape Town 2026, we will confront these realities head-on. International and local industry experts will dissect the latest attack techniques, explore how threat actors are evolving and share proven strategies organisations are using to safeguard their digital assets, infrastructure and reputations in an era of unprecedented cyber risk.
ITWeb Security Summit Cape Town 2026 is set to host prominent international, African and local speakers, ensuring that this annual information and cyber security event maintains its reputation as the premier gathering for IT, security and business decision-makers in Southern Africa. For those committed to advancing excellence in information and cyber security for the benefit of their companies and the broader security community, this summit is a 'must-attend.' Once again, this event will have different content and speakers to those at the Security Summit in Johannesburg.
If you want to be a part of the premier content and networking platform for CISOs, CIOs and security, risk and privacy professionals in South Africa, then you cannot afford to miss this event!
