From Infosecurity Europe to CONFidence and C1b3rWall: What Security Teams Are Prioritizing in 2026

Over the past few weeks, the ANY.RUN team joined Infosecurity Europe in London, CONFidence Conference in Kraków, and C1b3rWall Congress in Ávila. While every event had its own focus, the discussions pointed in the same direction: security teams need faster investigations, clearer evidence, and more confidence in every response decision.

Infosecurity Europe 2026: From Alerts to Business Outcomes

Infosecurity Europe was the biggest stop of our conference season. Over three days in London, the ANY.RUN team met with CISOs, SOC leaders, and MSSP teams to discuss the challenges shaping security operations today.

One thing was hard to miss: the conversation has moved beyond alert volumes and technical metrics.

Security leaders are under growing pressure to show how SOC performance supports the wider business. Boards do not simply want to know how many alerts were reviewed or how quickly a case was closed. They want to understand whether threats are identified early, whether risks are clearly assessed, and whether the team can act before an incident affects operations.

Three priorities came up repeatedly during our conversations:

From Alerts to Outcomes

MTTR still matters, but the number alone does not tell the full story. Security teams need enough context to understand the impact of a threat, prioritize the right cases, and explain their decisions clearly.

Behavioral analysis plays an important role here. By investigating suspicious files and URLs inside an interactive environment, teams can see how a threat behaves in real time and gather the evidence needed for a more confident response.

Intelligence Where the Work Happens

Security teams are not looking for another disconnected platform that adds extra steps to an already complex process.

They want fresh threat intelligence and investigation-backed insights inside the tools they already use, including SIEM, SOAR, and EDR platforms. This helps teams move from detection to investigation and response without losing time switching between separate systems.

Resilience Over Headcount

Growing alert volumes cannot always be solved by growing the team.

SOC leaders are looking for ways to make existing workflows more effective: reducing manual work, giving teams clearer evidence, and helping junior specialists handle routine investigations with greater confidence.

The goal is not simply to process more alerts. It is to build a more resilient SOC that can make consistent decisions even when the pressure rises.

Infosecurity Europe was a valuable opportunity to discuss these priorities directly with the cybersecurity community and explore how behavioral visibility and live threat intelligence can support faster, clearer, and more reliable investigations.

CONFidence Conference 2026: Practical Conversations with the Security Community

Our next stop was CONFidence Conference in Kraków, where we joined cybersecurity professionals for two days of technical discussions, live demos, and conversations about the realities of modern threat investigation.

Many of the challenges were familiar: rising alert volumes, increasingly sophisticated phishing campaigns, and the need to investigate threats faster without adding more pressure to already busy teams.

At the ANY.RUN stand, visitors explored how behavioral visibility, investigation-backed threat intelligence, and cross-platform detection coverage can help SOCs and MSSPs analyze malware and phishing more consistently.

But choosing the right security solution is not only about detection capabilities. Teams also need to know how they fit into their wider security environment: how sensitive data is handled, whether it supports controlled workflows, and whether the provider has the experience needed to support critical investigations.

These questions matter even more for organizations operating in regulated industries, where security tools need to support effective threat response while meeting strict internal compliance requirements.

This is an area ANY.RUN has continued to strengthen throughout its 10 years in cybersecurity. Today, our malware analysis and threat intelligence solutions are used by more than 15,000 organizations worldwide, including 74 of the Fortune 100 companies. ANY.RUN is also SOC 2 Type II attested, reflecting our commitment to strong security controls and careful handling of customer data.

C1b3rWall Congress 2026: Exploring Ransomware Analysis in Action

Our final stop was C1b3rWall Congress in Ávila, where cybersecurity professionals from both the public and private sectors gathered at the National Police School to discuss the threats shaping today's security landscape.

The event gave us a chance to look more closely at one of the most pressing challenges for security teams: ransomware.

During our session, we demonstrated how ransomware can be analyzed inside ANY.RUN's Interactive Sandbox and showed how interactive analysis helps teams move beyond a basic verdict.

Instead of simply confirming that a file is malicious, teams can observe how the attack unfolds in real time, identify suspicious processes, examine network activity, and understand the sequence of actions behind the threat.

This kind of visibility is especially valuable when every decision matters. It gives security teams the context they need to assess risk faster, document their findings, and respond with greater confidence.

C1b3rWall was also a valuable opportunity to connect with professionals working across different sectors and discuss how clearer behavioral evidence can support stronger, more reliable investigations.

What Comes Next

These events gave us the opportunity to connect with security professionals across Europe, exchange ideas, and discuss the challenges teams are facing today.

The message was clear: faster investigations matter, but so do visibility, trust, and control. Security teams need solutions that help them act with confidence, even when the pressure is high.

These conversations will continue to shape how we develop ANY.RUN and support SOCs and MSSPs worldwide.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, shared their experience, and joined the discussion. See you at the next events.
