SuperNova and Secutec are joining forces to launch CyberNova, a brand-new cybersecurity event set to take place during the SuperNova festival week in 2026. The initiative aims to bring together entrepreneurs, investors, and public partners to raise awareness and strengthen collaboration around cyber prevention and digital defense.
The timing couldn’t be more relevant, a recent cyberattack on a supplier of the national airport has once again exposed the urgent need for stronger digital resilience. In Flanders alone, nearly half of all companies faced a cyber incident in 2024.
