New technologies, current cybersecurity topics, and, above all, the opportunity to network in person with manufacturers and partners: On July 16, 2026, SECUINFRA attended the Arrow Forum 2026 in Munich. Under the theme “Future in Motion,” the event brought together numerous players in the IT industry and gave us the opportunity to strengthen existing partnerships, make new connections, and experience the latest developments firsthand.
With over 1,000 registrations, the Arrow Forum was once again very well attended this year. At the event venue “Von Alm das Beste” at Graf-Lehndorff-Straße 36 in Munich, manufacturers, partners, IT experts, and decision-makers gathered to discuss the latest technologies, market trends, and future topics.
Our team was on site for SECUINFRA. The focus of our visit was, in particular, on personal exchanges with existing and potential partners. Arrow is one of our most important distributors, and the forum provided the ideal setting to further strengthen established relationships while also exploring new opportunities for collaboration with technology providers and partner companies.
Focus on Cybersecurity and Innovation
The diverse program of the Arrow Forum 2026 combined networking with concise knowledge sharing. During the Speed Info Tour, participants gained insights into the latest innovations, while keynotes, technical presentations, and other sessions shed light on various developments in the IT landscape. Three new thematic areas placed additional emphasis on innovation, growth, and new ideas.
Topics directly relevant to cyber defense also played an important role. The program ranged from modern security operations for OT environments and the secure handling of shadow AI to the protection of AI applications, agents, and models, as well as post-quantum cryptography, security automation, and new approaches for the Security Operations Center. The growing importance of autonomous AI agents and the question of how companies can integrate AI securely and scalably into their processes were also part of the agenda.
It is clear to us that the demands placed on modern cyber defense are constantly evolving. To provide companies with sustainable protection against current and future threats, strong relationships with vendors, a robust partner network, and ongoing professional exchange are crucial—in addition to technological expertise.
Dialogue with Manufacturers and Partners
Numerous technology providers presented their solutions and perspectives at the Arrow Forum. We were particularly pleased to have our manufacturing partners Splunk and Tenable in attendance. In addition, the wide range of other vendors provided numerous opportunities to learn about new technologies, initiate discussions, and identify potential avenues for future collaboration.
Direct dialogue is particularly valuable to us. After all, successful cybersecurity isn’t achieved through powerful technologies alone. What matters most is the synergy between specialized solutions, in-depth expertise, and reliable partnerships. Events like the Arrow Forum provide an important platform for this and facilitate conversations that go far beyond a typical trade show visit.
After an intense day filled with numerous encounters, new connections, and professional insights, the summer night party provided an opportunity to continue conversations in a relaxed atmosphere and wrap up the day’s events together.
Our Take on the Arrow Forum 2026
The Arrow Forum 2026 truly lived up to its theme, “Future in Motion.” For us, the event was a valuable opportunity to further expand our network, nurture existing partnerships, and gain new insights for collaboration with manufacturers and partners.
We would like to thank Arrow for organizing the event and all the manufacturers, partners, and discussion participants for the open and personal exchange. We will continue to build on many of the discussions we had in Munich—because strong partnerships are a key building block for us in jointly advancing cyber defense and continuing to provide our customers with the best possible protection against cyberattacks in the future.
