Cybersecurity: Awareness and Action

As cyberattacks continue to rise year after year, 2025 is shaping up to be another critical year for cybersecurity. Despite growing investments in IT security, organizations face a key reality: awareness and employee training remain essential pillars of any effective strategy.

In Belgium, the scale of the issue is clear. In 2021, more than 37,000 cybercrime incidents were reported — over 100 per day — and the numbers keep climbing. Recent data show no signs of this trend slowing down. Today, six of the top ten priorities for Belgian IT leaders are directly related to cybersecurity (source: Beltug). Industry federation Agoria also reports that nearly half of all SMEs have experienced at least one cyber incident in recent years.

The rise of remote work, accelerated digitalization, and widespread cloud adoption have reshaped the IT landscape. In a world where customers, employees, and partners expect systems to be available 24/7/365, cybersecurity must be global, continuous, and future-ready.

It is in this context that Mark-Com Event is organizing the 6th edition of the Security Forum Belgium on October 14, 2025, in Brussels.

Taking place alongside Digital First, this half-day strategic conference will be held in the heart of the Tour & Taxis district, bringing together experts, decision-makers, and cybersecurity professionals.

Building on previous editions in Belgium since 2018 and on the launch of the Security Forum France in 2022, this event offers a practical, hands-on approach to today’s cyber challenges. It is designed for IT leaders, business executives, and security professionals, combining a strategic outlook with direct access to the latest technological innovations and leading experts in the field.
