Advanced Threat Summit (ATSummit) is an industry conference devoted to cybersecurity organized since 2014, addressed to CISO, security directors and managers, and SOC, CERT and CSIRT analysts. The event is organized jointly by Evention and the ISSA Polska association. The 13th edition of the conference will be held in 2026.
What is Advanced Threat Summit (ATSummit)
ATSummit is one of the largest cybersecurity conferences in Poland addressed to managing staff in this area. The event gathers several hundred participants representing enterprises, financial institutions and public entities, accompanied by several dozen technological partners presenting their own solutions.
Since the first edition in 2014, the conference formula has developed along with the changing threat landscape – from classic targeted attacks (hence the name “Advanced Threat”), through the topic of regulatory compliance, to the current emphasis on artificial intelligence as an element of both protection and risk. Each edition has its own main theme around which the agenda is built, although a permanent element of the program remains a wide spectrum of issues in the area of threats, technology, regulations and management of security teams.
The substantive organizer on the side of the expert community is ISSA Polska – a branch of the international association of information security specialists, which translates into the participation of practitioners from large organizations such as Orange Polska, ING Bank Śląski, PZU and Poczta Polska in the Program Council.
Who is ATSummit for
The conference is addressed primarily to cybersecurity management staff:
- CISO,
- security directors
- and managers responsible for this function in large enterprises and financial and public institutions.
The second group are experts and operational analysts – SOC, CERT and CSIRT teams and people dealing with threat intelligence, for whom the program provides knowledge about specific attack techniques and defense methods.
The conference formula also takes into account the needs of people aspiring to the role of CISO – for several editions, ATSummit has been developing a program path dedicated to the development of a managerial career in cybersecurity, covering the topics of budgeting, communication with the management board and building team competences.
Representatives of IT solutions and service providers and consulting companies are also taking part, although a separate, higher registration fee is planned for this group – which is to maintain the balance between the substantive recipients and the commercial side of the event.
Advanced Threat Summit 2026 – agenda, speakers and participation prices
13. The Advanced Threat Summit edition will be held on November 17-19, 2026 in a hybrid formula: November 17 and 18 are in-person and online days at Warsaw Presidential Hotel in Warsaw, and November 19 – a workshop day conducted exclusively online, on the Zoom platform.
The main theme of this year’s edition is the triple role of artificial intelligence in cybersecurity: as a tool strengthening security departments, as a weapon in the hands of cybercriminals and as a source of new technological risks related to the implementation of AI in business.
We discussed similar issues in greater detail during our free AI vs Cybersecurity webinar series, during which we analyzed both AI-supported attacks and the risk of Shadow AI and ways to use AI to support the work of CISOs. You can receive recordings and materials from the entire series for free here.
