Nordic Cyber Summit and CS4CA Nordic Summit to Advance Regional Cybersecurity and Critical Infrastructure Protection

The Colocated Events Will Spotlight Regulatory Compliance, Human-Centric Security and AI Governance in the Nordic Region

Princeton, NJ – QG Media, an ISMG company, is pleased to announce the launch of the CS4CA Nordic Summit, the premier Nordic edition of the globally acclaimed CS4CA series, taking place on September 10 and 11, 2025, in Copenhagen, Denmark. The event will be held alongside the seventh edition of the Nordic Cyber Summit.

The colocated events will provide a unique platform for senior OT and IT security leaders from across critical infrastructure, FMCG, energy, retail, banking and healthcare sectors to network, benchmark and collaborate while addressing the urgent need for regional cooperation amid an increasingly complex threat landscape.

Against a backdrop of geopolitical instability, escalating cybercrime and mounting regulatory pressure, the two summits will explore the complex landscape of IT and OT security. The CS4CA Nordic Summit will focus on safeguarding critical infrastructure. Under the theme “Cyber Crossroads: Security and Cooperation in the Nordic Region,” the Nordic Cyber Summit will delve into broader enterprise and national cyber resilience strategies, exploring how recent major shifts in the global landscape impact Nordic cybersecurity and emphasizing the imperative for regional collaboration.

“The launch of CS4CA Nordic in Copenhagen marks a crucial step in addressing the intersection of digital innovation and industrial vulnerabilities,” said Kudsia Kaker, managing director at QG Media. “As Europe’s critical infrastructure faces mounting pressure from external threats and regulatory shifts, we’ve designed these colocated summits to drive meaningful collaboration between IT and OT leaders, offering strategies that are resilient, adaptable and regionally relevant.”

Together, the CS4CA Nordic and Nordic Cyber Summits offer attendees access to real-world case studies from leading organizations; key regulatory guidance on NIS2, the Cyber Resilience Act and the EU AI Act; and first-hand insights from pre-qualified IT and OT security decision-makers.
