it-sa Congress 2026

Wednesday 28 October 2026 (08:00 - 17:00 UTC)

Europe | Nürnberg, Germany | In Person

Event Description

it-sa Expo&Congress in Nuremberg is Europe's largest trade fair for IT security and an important dialogue platform for IT security solutions.


ICANN's Chris Mondini will participate in a panel on Email Security and Digital Sovereignty: Opportunities Offered by Own Domains and Top-Level Domains

 

As digital identities and trusted communication channels become increasingly strategic assets for businesses, governments, and public institutions, the role of domains and top-level domains (TLDs) is gaining renewed importance. Beyond serving as online identifiers, dedicated domains contribute to digital sovereignty, strengthen cybersecurity, and foster trust in digital communications.

 

The session will explore:

  • How own domains and TLDs enhance digital resilience and provider independence;
  • The role of DNS and email authentication standards (SPF, DKIM and DMARC) in combating phishing and email fraud;
  • How trusted namespaces can support sovereign digital services;
  • National and international best practices and future developments, including the next round of new gTLDs.
