Panama City, Panama. ESET, a leader in proactive threat detection, is bringing its 2026 Security Day conference to Panama City. The event takes place on May 7 at the Sortis Hotel in the Guayacan I and II rooms. Company representatives announced the details this week.
This marks another stop on a regional tour that started in 2011. The goal is simple. ESET wants to help businesses understand the biggest cybersecurity challenges they face today. Organizers say the series has hosted over 200 events across Latin America. More than 45,000 people have attended these sessions since the program began.
Expert Presentations on Technology and Risk
Specialists from the company will deliver several presentations during the day. These talks will focus on how rapid technological evolution impacts the workplace. The rise of cloud computing and advances in artificial intelligence are driving these changes. Machine learning is also a key topic on the agenda.
Mario Micucci, a Security Researcher for ESET Latin America, will lead a session. His presentation is titled “Less noise, more response: Intelligence in action.” [Translated from Spanish] Micucci will discuss how new technologies have changed how people interact. He will also address the increased exposure to cybercrime that comes with these changes.
“Understanding the past helps us project the future in technology,” Micucci said. “This is crucial to prepare for the growing number of cyberattacks.” [Translated from Spanish]
“We need to change the focus and adapt to this new reality of attacks. We must understand where the risks are and what to do to be better protected.” [Translated from Spanish]
Juan Cordoba will present a session called “Avoiding the attacks of the future, today.” [Translated from Spanish] His talk questions whether the newest protection technologies are actually new. He asks if businesses truly need these advanced tools or simply a different strategy. Cordoba argues that shifting focus is more important than chasing the latest gadget.
Closing Talks and Strategic Vision
The event will close with two final presentations. Eduardo Delgado will speak on “Change as our constant.” [Translated from Spanish] Antonio Soria from ESET Panama will present “How to turn cybersecurity into a strategic advantage.” [Translated from Spanish]
These talks will cover major transformations in daily life. Both personal and professional communication have changed dramatically. The speed and quality of information consumption have increased significantly. Organizers say integrating this vision into corporate cybersecurity strategy is now essential.
Companies like ESET emphasize that change is the only constant. Businesses must understand new trends to protect themselves effectively. The conference aims to provide actionable intelligence for decision-makers.
Attendance requires advance registration. Interested parties must pre-register through the official ESET Panama website. The event is designed for business leaders and IT professionals across the region. Panama joins other countries in Latin America hosting this important industry gathering.
