About the event

CyberSQUAD is back! After a successful second edition in the summer of 2023, the best cybersecurity event in The Netherlands fully dedicated to young professionals will return to The Hague next summer. CyberSQUAD24 will be bigger, better, and bolder, so bring your friends and colleagues!
The non-profit foundations Connect2Trust, DIVD Academy and Jong-PvIB are once again inviting their networks and all alumni and 2024 students of the International Cyber Security Summer School (ICSSS) for an afternoon of knowledge sessions, meet-and-greets with thought leaders, cyber challenges and fun. Tickets are available via the link below. Stay tuned to find out more about the programme, venues, and of course the names of our speakers.

CyberSQUAD brings together students and alumni from summer schools, volunteers and cyberprofessionals in the early days of their careers to foster a network of the next generation CISOs, CTOs and CIOs. The CyberSQUAD summer event is a yearly cybersecurity event for young professionals that consists of 2 parts. The afternoon event (13:00 – 17:00) aims to make learning about cybersecurity fun and easy for everyone and the evening event fosters a community of enthousiastic cybersecurity professionals in the early stages of their career. Traditionally, the evening (18:00 – 23:00) is also the battlefield of the Capture-the-Flag challenge. This year with even more and bigger teams.
NEW this year are the CyberSQUAD evening events. Smaller scale events for the community to discuss relevant developments in the field of cybersecurity and meet up with peers.

The predominant social medium used by Connect2Trust to communicate about CyberSQUAD is LinkedIn via the C2T corporate account and the “CyberSQUAD community” page. In addition, footage may be used on the website for people to get an impression of the 2023 event. The used footage will give an impression of the day and not single out one or a few attendees.
