Swiss Cyber Security Days

What Swiss Cyber Security Days does

Swiss Cyber Security Days (SCSD) is an annual cybersecurity expo and congress held in Bern, Switzerland, at the BernExpo venue. Founded in 2019 and organized under the umbrella of BERNEXPO AG, the event combines an exhibition floor with 90 named exhibitors alongside a multi-track conference program comprising the Main Stage (high-level keynotes and strategic panels for decision-makers), the Tech Stage (technical deep-dives for IT security professionals, developers, and researchers), and Best Practice Stages (exhibitor presentations). Two specialized zones — the KMU Zone for small and medium enterprises and the Start-up Zone for emerging vendors — segment the exhibition.

The company's stated mission is to bridge the knowledge gap between technology, research, politics, economy, and the broader population on cybersecurity threats and solutions. The audience spans government authorities (Behörden), large corporations (Grosskonzerne), SMEs (KMU), and IT security professionals. The 2027 edition is themed 'When AI Acts – Securing the Next Digital Frontier,' indicating a deliberate repositioning of the agenda around AI-era cybersecurity risks.

SCSD is a private, not-separately-incorporated event brand rather than a standalone technology company. Its headcount is listed at 1–10 employees, consistent with a small operating team housed within parent BERNEXPO AG. The program director is Nicolas Mayencourt, who concurrently serves as Global CEO of Dreamlab Technologies AG. Revenue is generated from exhibitor booth fees, sponsorships, and conference attendance, but specific figures, pricing, and any external investment are not publicly disclosed. No funding rounds, acquisitions, or independent financial statements have been identified.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Infosecurity Europe: Major European cybersecurity exhibition and conference held in London. Comparable as a vendor EXPO plus strategic and technical content tracks serving enterprise CISOs and IT security professionals.
• RSA Conference: Global flagship cybersecurity conference and expo organized by RSA. Comparable as a large-scale cybersecurity EXPO & CONGRESS platform serving vendors, enterprises, and government, but operating at a far larger international scale than SCSD's Swiss-focused event.
• Black Hat: Highly technical cybersecurity conference and training event series. Comparable in being an event-driven cybersecurity platform combining briefings, trainings, and a business hall, though Black Hat operates at a global rather than national scale.

Regional players

• Cybersec Belgium: Belgian cybersecurity expo and conference focused on a national market. Comparable as a country-level cybersecurity EXPO & CONGRESS with similar stakeholder composition (government, enterprise, SMEs, IT pros).
• Swiss IT Forum (DIGITAL EVENT by BERNEXPO): BERNEXPO-organized digital and IT business event brand sharing the same parent organizer as SCSD. Comparable as a sibling Swiss EXPO & CONGRESS in a related vertical that competes for overlapping Swiss enterprise and SME attendees.

Others

• SANS Institute (Events & Training): Global cybersecurity training and events organization. Comparable as a cybersecurity event producer targeting IT security professionals and developers, a key attendee segment for SCSD's Tech Stage.

Emerging players

• it-sa 365 (digital extension): Year-round digital platform from it-sa extending the physical expo. Comparable as a complementary cyber business platform; relevant as a benchmark for how SCSD could extend into a year-round community model.

Direct peers

• European Cyber Week: European cybersecurity event combining conferences, workshops, and an exhibition. Comparable as a pan-European cybersecurity EXPO and CONGRESS with academic, government, and industry participation similar to SCSD's stakeholder mix.
• it-sa (Nürnberg): Germany's leading trade fair for IT security, organized by NürnbergMesse. Direct peer as a DACH-region cybersecurity EXPO & CONGRESS targeting exhibitors, enterprises, and public-sector buyers with similar multi-track programming.
• CYBERSEC (European Cybersecurity Forum): Public-policy-oriented cybersecurity conference with EXPO in Poland. Comparable as a conference-and-expo platform prioritizing government, EU policy, and enterprise stakeholders, similar to SCSD's Main Stage programming.
