On May 6, the Parkovy Congress and Exhibition Center became the hub of an international cybersecurity dialogue — InfoSec Ukraine 2025. The event brought together over 800 participants from 15 countries — from heads of national CERTs to SOC architects and startup teams working on AI and OT threat mitigation.
The conference aimed to unite the efforts of government, business, and the tech community to shape a new security culture and strengthen Ukraine’s cyber resilience in the face of hybrid threats. Over the course of the day, more than thirty talks and panel discussions covered topics such as critical infrastructure protection, Zero Trust standards, and countering state cyber surveillance.
The event took place in the
Convention and Concert Hall. The organizers paid close attention to branding, using not only the stage but also the walls for banners and event identity. Creative lighting solutions enhanced the atmosphere. The entire third floor of Parkovy was utilized, hosting partner stands and activities.

- EFF Director of Cybersecurity Eva Galperin,
- Forescout VP Rik Ferguson,

A parallel track — Cyber Stage — was hosted in

The space was traditionally divided into two functional zones with mobile glass partitions:

- A spacious convertible terrace with a lounge area and tables for networking and discussions.
The event also featured the CyberHive Student Workshop in the 500 m²
Small Exhibition Hall. The conference had a social dimension as well: participants raised funds for the “Black Forest” unit, supported the “Principle” initiative, and provided students from leading Ukrainian universities with free access to the program.
Parkovy team thanks the organizers, speakers, and partners for their trust and looks forward to hosting future forums that help shape a secure digital space for the country.
