Everyone at the Business Event can tell you what happened. We show you what is being prepared.
Modat profiles the internet continuously, so the infrastructure behind an attack is visible while it is still being assembled. That is a different conversation from a dashboard of last month's incidents.
What we are announcing
New research, first shown in The Hague
The Business Event is where we put the newest work in front of the people best placed to argue with it.
Announcing at the Business Event
Soufian is presenting new research for the first time, in our own city
Our founder and CEO does his own research: he is Head of Research at CSIRT.global and finishing a PhD at Leiden University on threat actor attribution. The work he is announcing here has not been published anywhere else yet.
Stay tuned: we will say more once the conference programme is out, and the full write-up goes on our research page when it is published.
Why we are sponsoring it
The right week, in the right city
The buyers and the defenders in one place
The ONE Conference pulls government, business and academia into the same building. The Business Event is the part of the week where the conversations are commercial and the decisions get made.
This is our home city
Modat is based in The Hague, a few minutes from the World Forum. We are not flying in for two days and leaving: this is the ecosystem we are part of the rest of the year.
NIS2 turned exposure into a board question
Dutch and EU organisations now have to evidence what they expose, including through suppliers. That is an infrastructure question, and it is the one we answer.
What to do with us there
Come with a case, not a calendar slot
Bring something real
A domain, a supplier, a lookalike you have been sent. We will look at what the internet already says about it, there and then, rather than talk in the abstract.
Ask the awkward question
How is this different from a scanner? What does it cost? What can you not do? We would rather answer that over a drink than in a procurement document.
Talk about your own exposure
Send your domain ahead of the event and we will have looked at it before you arrive, so the conversation starts somewhere useful.
Who you will meet
Three of us you can arrange time with
Robin The and Sophie Saksmann are at the Business Event too. These three are the ones you can book ahead of it.
Soufian El Yadmani
Founder & CEO
Bring an indicator and he will pivot through it with you on the spot. Researcher and ethical hacker, Head of Research at CSIRT.global.
Vincent Thiele
Co-Founder & COO
Has run security from the buying seat: ING Bank’s CISO department, then Cybersprint and Darktrace. Best for programme, procurement and NIS2 conversations.
Karen Sundermann
Head of Public Sector
The right person if you work in government, law enforcement or a national CSIRT.
Practicalities
Before you go
The conference and the Business Event are both run by the organisers of The ONE Conference 2026. We are a Premium Sponsor, nothing more.
Whose event is the Business Event?
The ONE Conference 2026 hosts the Business Event alongside the main programme, and Modat is a Premium Sponsor of it. We do not run it, set the agenda, or decide who gets in.
How do I get a place?
The Business Event is invitation only, and the invitations are the organisers' to issue, not ours. Our sponsorship gives us no say in the guest list, so we cannot add you. If you are already going, book a slot with us and we will find you there.
The ONE Conference official site ↗When is the Business Event?
6 October 2026, the first evening of the conference. We do not publish the venue or the running order here: it is invitation only, and the organisers tell their guests where to go.
Who from Modat will be there?
Soufian, Vincent and Karen are at the Business Event, along with Robin The and Sophie Saksmann. We are all based here, so any of us can also meet you in the city outside the event.
Can we meet if I am not going?
Yes. We are based in The Hague, so a coffee is easy, and a call is easier.
