The event is being held in Budapest, Hungary, on 29-30 October 2026.
Participants are discussing ways to ensure the cybersecurity of tax authorities amid the digitalisation of public administration.
Key topics include modern methods of protecting information systems, identifying and preventing cyber threats, and using artificial intelligence to monitor potential threats and automate responses to information security incidents.
Separate sessions are devoted to assessing risks associated with the use of artificial intelligence in tax administration, securely managing digital infrastructure and improving cyber incident response mechanisms.
