Signal Security Summit Logo

📅 Thursday 28 May 2026
📍 Hippodrome Paris Longchamp

Europe’s leading security event focused on the human factor — now in Paris.

Signal is SoSafe’s flagship event. It’s where security leaders come together to share what they’re seeing across industries and borders.

Together, we sharpen how we think about human risk and leave with the clarity and foresight to act in a rapidly evolving threat landscape.

Signal brings together a community of practitioners who understand one thing: security is, ultimately, a human challenge. And the strongest insights don’t come from silos – they come from the network.

This is where collective intelligence becomes your competitive advantage.
For the first time, we’re bringing that community to Paris. 150–200 security leaders, one curated day, every conversation counts. A focused format designed so you’re not just in the audience — you’re in the conversation.

Curious about
what to expect?

Watch our Cologne 2025 recap to get a glimpse of what Signal is all about.

From noise to signal: How we build cyber resilience, starting today (FR)

10:00-10:10

SVP Marketing, SoSafe

The threat landscape is constantly evolving – and it leaves signals. Signals in behavior, in patterns, in the small moments most organizations overlook. The challenge therefore isn’t a lack of signs; it’s knowing what actually matters – and acting on it.

Signal is more than a conference; it’s a blueprint for moving beyond static security. Today is about cutting through the noise, so cyber resilience doesn’t stay theoretical, but becomes actionable – through insights you can apply, perspectives you can learn from, and a community that helps you move faster.

CEO Keynote

Becoming resilient, together (EN)

10:10-10:40

Dr. Niklas Hellemann

Dr. Niklas Hellemann

CEO and Co-Founder, SoSafe

In a world of constant cyber pressure, resilience starts with people. It’s not a single skill or tool – it’s a human capability that must work at every level, from individuals under pressure to organisations under attack.

In this keynote, our CEO takes a clear look at the current threat landscape, the signals shaping our industry, and where human risk management stands today. What’s working, where are the gaps, and what needs to change?

The answer isn’t more tools; it’s a shift in how we build resilience. One that puts people at the centre and is strengthened through shared insight, real-world experience, and a community that learns faster together.

You’ll leave with a sharper understanding of where the industry is heading and what it takes to build resilience that actually holds under pressure.
Because resilience isn’t built alone – it’s built together.

Keynote

AI, Cyber & Law: The signals leaders can’t ignore (FR)

10:40-11:10

Christiane Féral-Schuhl

Christiane Féral-Schuhl

Ex-Présidente du CNB, Ancienne Bâtonnière de Paris, Avocate associée

AI is reshaping the cyber landscape faster than regulation can keep up.

In this keynote, a leading expert in digital and cyber law breaks down what this shift means in practice: how AI is changing risk, where new responsibilities emerge, and which early signals already point to what’s coming next.

But this is not just about understanding the landscape – it’s about what leaders need to do now.

You’ll learn how to identify the legal and security risks that matter most, where current frameworks fall short, and how to make informed decisions despite uncertainty. The session translates complexity into clear priorities: what to monitor, what to question, and where to act before regulation forces your hand.
By the end, you’ll have a sharper lens on AI-driven risk, a clearer view of your responsibilities, and concrete guidance on how to anticipate – not just respond – to the next wave of change.

Coffee break

Keynote

Borderless Pursuit: The Judicial Investigation of Cybercriminal Networks (FR)

11:40-12:05

Flore Mevel

Flore Mevel

French Magistrate, Cybercrime Division

Cybercrime knows no borders, and neither does the judicial response. Faced with highly organized international networks, securing electronic evidence and executing transatlantic cooperation have become the true sinews of war.

In this keynote, Flore Mevel plunges you into the behind-the-scenes of the global judicial hunt. Drawing on her experience as a liaison magistrate in the United States and now a prosecutor in the cybercrime section (JIRS) in Paris, she dissects attackers‘ methodologies and the immense challenges of digital investigation. Her conclusion: beneath the screen and technical complexity, human behavior and error remain the ultimate flaws that allow investigators to trace the threat. More than just an overview, this session offers a radical shift in perspective. You will learn to read the signals left by attackers to better understand their strategies, empowering you to anticipate threats rather than simply enduring them.

The Human Factor as the First Shield – Automation and Global Cyber Culture

14:15-14:35

Laurent Urien

Laurent Urien

Group CISO, Clariane

Deploying a cybersecurity culture is about far more than just pushing out training modules: it is fundamentally a challenge of human adoption and psychology. During this session, our client will share their field experience on how they transformed their workforce—often wrongfully perceived as the weakest link—into a truly proactive extension of their security team.

From the importance of addressing international teams in their native language to build genuine psychological proximity, to the daily reinforcement of their phishing reports, this discussion will explore how to deeply engage the human element. Rather than focusing on surface-level metrics, this session will delve into driving real behavioral change: how to use automation to process employee alerts, provide constructive feedback, and prove that investing in the human factor is the ultimate engine of resilience.

Most security programs rely on policies, training, and simulations — yet they often remain disconnected, static, and difficult to adapt to today’s evolving threat landscape.

In this masterclass, we explore how AI is transforming security awareness into a continuous, adaptive resilience strategy. From turning internal policies into engaging learning experiences, to recreating real-world attacks and continuously testing employee behaviour, discover how AI connects the dots between what you expect, what you teach, and how people act in practice.

You’ll leave with a clear understanding of how to move beyond static programs and build a more dynamic, measurable approach to human risk.

Inside the Attacker’s Mind: When the Threat Comes from Above (FR)

Gael Musquet

Gael Musquet

Hacker Éthique

To truly understand modern risks, you have to observe the world like an attacker. In this highly interactive live hacking session, ethical hacker Gaël Musquet takes you behind enemy lines. Forget traditional cyberattacks for a moment: today’s threat actors use unexpected vectors for reconnaissance and infiltration, sometimes literally hovering right above our heads.

Through a live demonstration involving connected systems and… a particularly discreet flying device, you will witness the convergence of physical and digital threats. But make no mistake, the technology is merely a tool. The real lesson here goes much deeper: the most sophisticated intrusions succeed because they masterfully exploit our daily routines, our assumptions, and our momentary lapses in attention. A much-needed wake-up call to start reading the signals before the impact.

A day full of perspectives, patterns, and insights – but which signals truly matter?

In this closing keynote, we distill the most important learnings into three clear signals for security leaders. Signals that help you cut through the noise, focus your efforts, and take action where it counts.

Because resilience isn’t built on more information – but on understanding what matters, and acting on it.

Three signals. One shared direction.
To become resilient, together.

Thomas Gayet

Thomas Gayet

CEO Scovery

In an environment where threats are constantly evolving, simply detecting indicators is no longer enough; one must also know how to translate them into concrete decisions.

This session offers an operational perspective on cyber risk management: how to assess an organisation’s exposure in real time, identify priority indicators and translate them into action.

The aim is to provide a clear vision of how cyber rating can become a genuine decision-making aid, for both security teams and senior management. You will leave with a better understanding of your level of exposure, the key indicators to monitor, and concrete levers to move from analysis to action.

Constant pressure, high stakes, and rapid change – for many in security, this is the norm.

This masterclass focuses on the individual side of resilience: how to stay effective when it matters most. You’ll gain practical tools to navigate high-pressure situations, manage stress, and strengthen your mental and emotional capacity over time.

Because organizational resilience starts with people – and the ability to perform, decide, and adapt under pressure.

Product Deep Dive

Rethinking human risk: From static programs to adaptive defense (FR)

14:15-15:00
Space 3

Arnaud Loubatiere

Arnaud Loubatiere

Director Southern Europe, SoSafe

Most security programs are built for a world where attacks change slowly and predictably. Today, AI-generated threats, social engineering, and `multi-channel attacks are forcing organizations to rethink how they approach human risk.

In this masterclass, we introduce the concept of adaptive defense, a new approach to security that continuously evolves based on real-world threats, individual behavior, and organizational context. Rather than relying on one-size-fits-all training and periodic simulations, adaptive programs learn, adjust, and respond in real time.

Join us to explore what this shift means for your organization, why traditional approaches are falling behind, and how to start preparing for a more dynamic, future-ready defense strategy.

A critical system falters. Teams scramble. Decisions are rushed, and small gaps turn into bigger problems. Some organisations recover quickly. Others struggle.

The difference is preparation.

In this hands-on masterclass, you’ll work with the Cyber Resilience Readiness Framework to assess where your organisation stands today – and what to do next. Guided by a resilience expert, you’ll identify your most critical gaps, challenge assumptions, and define concrete steps to strengthen your response capabilities.

No theory. No fluff. You’ll actively apply the framework to your own context, turning early signals into clear priorities and actionable decisions.

By the end, you’ll have a sharper view of your resilience level and a focused plan to move to the next stage – before the next disruption puts it to the test.

The conversations shaping 2026

Becoming resilient,
together.

Resilience doesn’t come from a playbook. It’s built between people who’ve been through it and are willing to share what they’ve learned.

At SoSafe Signal x Paris, we’re going deeper on the human side of resilience. How leaders make better decisions under pressure. How teams hold together during an incident. How to build a culture that doesn’t just survive a crisis — it comes back stronger. And how sharing signals across a trusted network means nobody has to figure it out alone.

You’ll leave with sharper thinking, a stronger network, and a plan that fits your organisation — not a generic one.
