The event for secure digital identities.

From practice for practice.



Secure authentication is no longer a marginal issue. It decides whether companies can protect data, processes, and customers securely—and whether users accept a system or not.

Authentication Days 2026 is the first industry event in the German-speaking world to focus holistically, practically, and forward-looking on multi-factor authentication and modern access procedures. Over the course of 1.5 days, IT security managers, manufacturers, user companies, and leading industry experts will meet in Hamburg to share knowledge, technologies, strategies, and new ideas.

Fast, dynamic, complex—this is how the digital world is evolving, and with it the requirements for secure authentication. Phishing 2.0, AI-supported attacks, regulatory requirements, and increasing expectations for usability present companies and organizations with ever-new challenges.

Authentication has long been more than just a technical detail. It is a key component of modern IT security and a crucial building block for corporate security, compliance, and trust. This is exactly where Authentication Days come in.
