The future starts now.
Bechtle at it-sa 2026 – offering expertise, foresight and the right approach for your security strategy.
2026 is shaping up to be a fast-paced year for cyber security: new technologies, new threats, and increasing regulation. The answers to these challenges lie in what remains constant: experience, a broad perspective – and the courage to actively shape the future.
Guided by this principle, we will be demonstrating at it-sa 2026 how IT security must be conceived today to ensure its longevity tomorrow. With a holistic approach, in-depth expertise and genuine opportunities for dialogue at Europe’s leading security trade fair.

IT security is constantly under pressure to adapt. At it-sa 2026, our experts will discuss the issues that matter today and tomorrow – openly, practically and on an equal footing.
From NIS2 and the AI Act to Zero Trust and SOC, right through to the latest developments in AI within the security context: we’ll take the time to answer your questions and look ahead to the future.
Which security strategies are effective in the long term? How can AI be integrated into modern security systems? And how can regulatory requirements be effectively combined with technological innovation and established corporate structures?
In exclusive specialist presentations, leading speakers from Bechtle and our partners will provide insights into the latest developments, share experiences from real-world projects and demonstrate concrete solutions.
Expert. Practical. And with an eye to the future.
An overview of the agenda.
All presentations will take place at the Bechtle stand in Hall 9, Stand 304.
