Join the community...
Join us at NISC 2026, the National Information Security Conference.
For almost three decades, NISC has brought together cyber security professionals from across the UK to share experiences, explore emerging challenges and learn from one another. Established by Sapphire, NISC has grown into one of the UK's most respected cyber security events, welcoming leaders, practitioners, researchers and technology specialists from a wide range of sectors.
Taking place over three days, NISC combines keynote presentations, panel discussions, workshops, breakout sessions and networking opportunities designed to tackle the issues shaping cyber security today. From AI and operational resilience to threat intelligence, governance and incident response, the agenda focuses on practical insights that delegates can take back and apply within their own organisations.
NISC is built on the belief that the security community is strongest when it collaborates. The event provides a unique opportunity to connect with peers, exchange ideas and learn from organisations facing similar challenges. Alongside an outstanding speaker programme, delegates benefit from open discussion, honest conversations and real-world experiences from those working at the forefront of cyber security.
Whether you're responsible for strategy, governance, risk management or hands-on security operations, NISC delivers valuable insight, fresh perspectives and practical takeaways to help strengthen your approach to cyber security.
At NISC, you'll gain more than knowledge. You'll leave with new connections, actionable ideas and the confidence to tackle the challenges ahead.
Who will be at NISC 2026?
NISC brings together cyber security and technology professionals from public and private sector organisations, critical national infrastructure providers, consultancies and research institutions.
You'll meet CISOs, CIOs, CTOs, IT Directors, Security Managers, Network Managers, Risk and Compliance professionals, architects, engineers and operational security teams. Together, they bring a wealth of experience, practical knowledge and real-world insight from organisations of all sizes and sectors.
One of the things delegates value most about NISC is the opportunity to speak openly with peers facing similar challenges. Whether you're looking to share experiences, explore new approaches or build relationships across the industry, you'll be part of a collaborative community focused on strengthening cyber resilience and improving security outcomes.
Why should you attend?
Certification & Growth NISC is more than a conference. It's an opportunity to learn from peers, challenge your thinking and gain practical insight from those tackling today's security challenges firsthand. You'll leave with fresh ideas, valuable connections, actionable takeaways and a certificate of attendance to support your CPE and CPD requirements.
Collaborative Brilliance NISC connects you with security professionals, industry experts and technology providers in an environment focused on knowledge sharing, not sales pitches. Exchange ideas, discuss real-world challenges, gain practical insight and build relationships with people who understand the pressures and priorities facing security teams today.
Continuous Learning The learning doesn't stop when NISC ends. Delegates receive access to conference materials and resources after the event, giving you the opportunity to revisit key insights, share knowledge across your team and continue building your skills. From technical expertise to strategy and leadership, NISC supports ongoing professional development long after you've left the conference.
Meaningful Conversations NISC focuses on real-world challenges, practical solutions and the lessons organisations are learning along the way. You'll leave with a clearer understanding of the threats facing UK organisations, practical ideas you can apply in your own environment and greater confidence in where to focus your time and effort for the biggest security impact.
