SCION Day 2025

SCION DAY 2025 is coming soon – and with it, a chance to connect with the growing community shaping the future of secure networking for critical infrastructure.

This year, we’re tackling a challenge that’s becoming more urgent by the day: how to protect the systems we all rely on in an increasingly unpredictable digital world. SCION, developed at ETH Zurich, offers a fresh approach – one that puts security, control, and data sovereignty at the core.

From finance to energy and payments, you’ll hear from those on the frontlines – what threats they’re up against, how new regulations like DORA and NIS2 are shifting the landscape, and why data sovereignty is top of mind.

We’ll spotlight real-world success stories from companies using SCION to protect everything from mission-critical networks to public-facing websites. You’ll also get insights from global network providers driving the rollout.

Whether you’re just discovering SCION or already part of the movement, this is your opportunity to explore how the technology is helping critical sectors stay connected, stay compliant, and stay ahead – while building a more secure society for us all.
