Web Summit Vancouver 2026
By GreenHat Security4 min read

The best conversations at Web Summit started with an introduction

At the Canadian Cyber Zone, visitors could explain what was getting in their way and meet someone equipped to help—without wandering the conference floor looking for another booth.

One booth made the introductions easier

From May 11 to 14, In-Sec-M brought GreenHat Security, GreenHat Assurance, Quantropi, Forward Security, Eureka DevSecOps, and 123 Defence together at the Vancouver Convention Centre. Their specialties ranged from security leadership and SOC 2 to quantum-safe cryptography, application security, DevSecOps, and defence readiness.

That mix changed the conversation. A visitor could start with a blocked deal, an audit question, or a product problem. If another specialist was the better fit, the introduction happened on the spot.

Where should you start?

Start with GreenHat Security

You need someone to own the security roadmap

Start with GreenHat Security when the gap is leadership: nobody owns risk, a customer questionnaire is stalling, the board needs a plan, or a small team needs experienced direction without a full-time CISO hire.

Bring to the first conversation

  • The business pressure that triggered the conversation
  • Who owns security today and where decisions are stuck
  • The deadline, customer request, or board commitment involved

Security leadership, compliance readiness, risk work, penetration testing, and practical security-program execution.

Visit GreenHat Security

Bring the deadline, a quick picture of your current setup, and the problem holding you up. The rest can come later.

What people stopped for

Three moments made the space feel less like a row of sales pitches.

A four-city cryptography demo

Quantropi put a four-city network on screen, linking Ottawa, San Francisco, Copenhagen, and Singapore in real time. It gave visitors a concrete way into a conversation about quantum-safe communications.

Attack paths as a card game

Eureka put BREACH on the table. Players built attack paths from initial access to exfiltration, turning an abstract application-security conversation into a game.

A live K-ART performance

Nearby, Dr. Legend, also known as JeonSur, painted live. The Korean artist's performance shifted the energy of the space and opened a different kind of cross-border conversation.
