State of Cyber Security Sweden

Bygget Fest & Konferens, Stockholm

3 December 2024

Heliview X Madison Events are partnering to host State of Cyber Security

UNITING INNOVATION AND RESILIENCE IN CYBER DEFENSE

Sweden stands as one of the world’s most digitally advanced countries, leading the way in digital innovation. Both citizens and organisations have become accustomed to seamless digital processes when interacting with banks, healthcare systems, municipalities and various authorities. Modern society heavily relies on functioning information and communication technologies. A targeted cyber-attack on critical infrastructure, public authorities, or critical private companies can have significant consequences for an open society and pose a threat to national security.

Organisations in Sweden face thousands of IT attacks each month. These attacks specifically target critical entities that play a crucial role in the functioning of Swedish society. The perpetrators behind these attacks can be foreign nations seeking to destabilise our society, criminal organisations driven by financial motives, or individuals with varying and often undisclosed intentions. Sectors such as healthcare, energy, banking, finance, insurance, media, municipalities, and national government organisations are all prime targets for cyber-attacks.

Join us on the December 3rd 2024 to share knowledge, insights, and expand your professional network. Come together with other cyber security professionals on this year’s: State of Cyber Security at Bygget Konferens.

This years theme

Securing Sweden: Uniting Innovation and Resilience in Cyber Defense

In an era where cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated and frequent due to ongoing global conflicts, Sweden stands at a pivotal point in strengthening its cybersecurity posture. This theme is crucial as it underscores the need for a synergistic approach, combining the strengths of both public and private sectors to fortify defenses against cyber adversaries. By fostering innovation through cutting-edge technologies like AI and implementing stringent regulatory measures such as the NIS2 Directive and the EU Cybersecurity Act, Sweden can lead in proactive threat mitigation.

This conference highlights the comprehensive and collaborative efforts needed to protect Sweden’s digital future. It reflects a commitment to fostering a resilient cybersecurity ecosystem that can withstand and quickly recover from emerging threats, ensuring the safety and integrity of Sweden’s digital infrastructure. Furthermore, the importance of business continuity management cannot be overstated, as it ensures that critical operations remain functional in the face of cyber disruptions.
