Cybersecurity conferences in Riga

Overview

Cybersecurity leadership and technical experts have convened in Riga for major international forums to address regional digital threats.

In late September, the CyberShield forum gathered representatives from Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Finland, and Poland to discuss cybersecurity policy, resilience, and the impact of artificial intelligence. The event focused on strengthening European and Latvian digital infrastructure in response to cyberattacks linked to geopolitical events.

Following this, the CyberChess 2026 conference was scheduled for mid-October. This gathering aimed to provide practical responses to high-profile cyber incidents in Latvia, such as attacks on the Road Traffic Safety Directorate (CSDD) and Latvijas valsts meži. The conference included closed sessions where CERT.LV and international experts shared restricted technical information regarding threat actor tactics and methods.
