The 2016 FIC edition
The FIC is a platform aiming at promoting a pan-European vision of cybersecurity as well as strengthening the fight against cybercrime.

In order to do so, the FIC is organised around:
• The trade show, to share knowledge and ideas, recruit new employees and maintain contacts;
• The forum, to discuss with experts, gather ideas and share professional lessons;
• The observatory, to continue exchanging views and information, explore topics in greater depth and nurture the network throughout the year.
