SCION Day 2026 – BENELUX EDITION

SCION DAY 2026 – Benelux edition, for the first time this SCION flagship event will be held in the Netherlands, on May 19, 2026.

SCION technology is an Internet protocol deployed across critical infrastructure in Switzerland to increase security and cyber resilience. It enables network optionality by allowing users to choose which infrastructure their data is forwarded through, thereby reducing the attack surface of critical IT networks.

Today, this market-ready technology is also available to businesses and critical sectors in the Benelux region.

Join us to hear first-hand from SCION customers how they are deploying this technology to reduce the risk of cyberattacks and strengthen their approach to sovereignty and cyber resilience. Beyond security, SCION represents a strategic approach to compliance with EU regulations such as DORA and NIS2.

The entrance is free.

A look at the SCION technology

SCION inventor and Prof. Dr. Adrian Perrig, ETH Zurich

Adrian will explore the latest developments in SCION technology, offering insights into the future of secure, scalable, and flexible networking. This is a unique opportunity to learn from the mind behind the innovation that is revolutionizing the Internet.

When AI helps the attacker: Innovation’s dark side

Martin Bosshardt, CEO, Anapaya

AI is accelerating innovation — and attackers are using it to achieve unprecedented speed, precision, and success. As AI-driven attacks scale, long-standing assumptions about internet security are being challenged. This talk explores how attackers are innovating and why isolating critical systems from the open internet with SCION is becoming essential in the AI era.

SCION for the Swiss Finance Sector

William Boye, Head of Network Services, Swiss National Bank, and Cornelius Dorn, Head of Strategy, SIX

SCION’s journey in the finance sector began in 2020 with the conceptualization of the Secure Swiss Finance Network (SSFN) by the Swiss National Bank and SIX. Together, William and Cornelius will share how this network came to be and, six years later, where it stands. Spoiler: With around 300 institutions onboard, exchanging more than CHF 300B daily, SSFN is now fully deployed by financial institutions in Switzerland, with zero outages or security issues.

SCION for Central Banks at BIS

Laura Gallagher, Head of Core Infrastructure and Engineering, Bank for International Settlements – BIS

Laura Gallagher, Head of Core Infrastructure and Engineering at Bank for International Settlements – BIS, will share insights on SCION’s use cases for international finance network needs.

SCION for the Utility Sector

Markus Riner, Head of Digitalization and IT, Association of Swiss Electricity Companies (VSE)

Due to increasing cyber threats, the cybersecurity of critical infrastructure is becoming a matter of national security. The Secure Swiss Utility Network (SSUN) was developed based on SCION technology to protect Switzerland’s utility infrastructure. Markus will share how the SSUN is set up, what needs it fulfills, and what benefits it delivers for this sector, which is key to the functioning of society.

Panel discussion – Beyond connectivity: How SCION adds strategic value to mission-critical infrastructure

Connectivity is no longer just a technical concern — it has become a strategic pillar for resilience, sovereignty, and operational continuity across mission-critical sectors. On stage, global service providers delivering this technology will share insights into regional business needs and discuss how SCION can meet their specific requirements.
