Human Centred Security Day 2026

Zentrum Paul Klee, Monument im Fruchtland 3, 3006 Bern

At the Human Centred Security Day hosted by Switch, we take a focused and practical deep dive into some of today’s most pressing cybersecurity challenges. We explore how to enhance security by making it easier for people to do the right thing, not by trying to change who they are. The event brings together security professionals, IT leaders, and awareness specialists from across Switzerland and beyond to explore emerging trends, best practices, and effective strategies. Through expert keynotes and interactive sessions, attendees will gain actionable insights on topics such as behaviour change, human risk management, AI-driven threats and building a strong security culture within their organisations. Beyond the presentations, the day offers valuable networking opportunities, connecting participants with peers, industry and Switch security experts to exchange experiences and best practices.
