Be part of one of Europe’s most vibrant cybersecurity events — OWASP Italy Day 2026, taking place on June 17–18 in Cagliari, Sardinia.
With over 300 qualified participants expected from across Europe and speakers from around the world, representing the OWASP community, industry, and academia, the event stands out as one of the largest and most influential OWASP gatherings in Europe, right after OWASP Europe AppSec.
The OWASP Italy Day conference will be held on June 18, from the afternoon through the evening, in a stunning seaside setting — the perfect environment to exchange ideas, foster collaboration, and inspire the community.
We are looking for engaging, technically rich, and thought-provoking talks that explore the evolving landscape of application and software security, from research and innovation to real-world case studies, emerging threats, and practical solutions.
OWASP Italy Day 2026 represents an opportunity to travel through the world of Application Security, in a historical moment where increasing emphasis is being placed on the security of software, digital infrastructures, and the protection of data and services.
During the event, we will explore the trends and dynamics shaping the Software Security landscape, gaining awareness of the technological tools, security policies, and regulatory instruments that must be put in place to ensure adequate protection of assets — both tangible and intangible — that are potential targets of attack. At the same time, we’ll also dive into the offensive side of security, with the opportunity to see hands-on demonstrations of how modern systems can be attacked, helping us better understand how to defend them.
If you are a security professional, developer, researcher, or community contributor, this is your opportunity to share your experience, inspire your peers, and help drive progress in the field of secure software development.
Join us and take the stage at OWASP Italy Day 2026 — where knowledge, innovation, and community meet by the sea.
