Xalient to Drive Dialogue on Strategic Cybersecurity Investments at CyberSec Europe 2025

Written by Jos Akkermans, Field CTO EMEA at Xalient

Xalient, a global boutique specialising in the convergence of identity-driven security and secure networking, is attending CyberSec Europe, a leading cybersecurity event where IT leaders, privacy officers, and security professionals gather to explore cutting-edge solutions, industry trends and digital resilience strategies. This event takes place between 21st and 22nd May at the Brussels Exhibition Centre in Belgium. With deep expertise in identity, networking and cybersecurity, Xalient will exhibit at the event, with its Field CTO for EMEA taking the stage as a speaker.

Jos Akkermans, Field CTO of EMEA at Xalient, said: “In today’s cybersecurity world, it’s easy for organisations to feel overwhelmed with the different products and services available on the market. More than half of businesses regret major security investments that are overly complex or misaligned with their needs. At Xalient, we strive to simplify this process and cut through the cybersecurity noise by offering identity-driven security solutions that align with the business needs and strategy.”

At a session titled Navigating the cybersecurity forest: Practical tips to survive, Jos will share insight and advice for companies looking to improve their cybersecurity practice and identity-driven security strategies to boost resilience and enhance overall security by aligning people, processes and technology. The session will take place on 21st May at 3:15 pm BST in Theatre 5.
