Programme

This presentation addresses the advanced tactics of modern attackers and practical defense strategies. We explore how attackers exploit vulnerabilities through methods like phishing and social engineering and then shift focus to effective defense mechanisms. Key topics include the importance of robust security concepts and user education to identify and counteract threats. Attendees will gain essential insights into enhancing digital security against evolving cyber threats.

Jesper Larsson, known from the TV program “Hackad,” will take you on a journey through IT Security Insights from the Dark Side of the Internet during this presentation.

In this session we will discuss how you can leverage good AI for better resilience and protection from bad AI and bad actors. Further, we will also discuss how AI should and can be used from a regulatory perspective and discuss AI use cases and value proposition.

André Catry, a leading expert in cyber security and a member of the Kahn Pedersen team, will deliver a keynote at the upcoming State of Cyber Security Sweden conference. In his presentation, André will shed light on the current threats facing the global cyber landscape, with a particular focus on the risks that could impact Swedish society. As Sweden’s IT infrastructure plays a crucial role in ensuring a secure future, André will share his insights and findings on how to bolster our nation’s resilience against these ever-evolving cyber threats.

In this session, Sakarias Strand will explore how the Sweden Secure Tech Hub, part of the Sweden ICT European Digital Innovation Hub, is driving secure digital transformation across Sweden. He will discuss the unique synergy between private and public sectors in Kista Science City, highlighting how this collaboration accelerates innovation and adoption of secure digital solutions. Attendees will gain insights into:

• The role of science parks in fostering cybersecurity innovation
• Strategies for bridging the gap between national expertise and local implementation
• How public-private partnerships can enhance secure digital transformation

We are well aware of the phrase “The user is the weakest link in security”. This talk seeks to question that notion by exploring what we, the security community, expect of our users. The talk will cover security principles users are expected to adhere to and security situations that users encounter on a daily basis, allowing the audience to judge the feasibility of that current practice. The talk aims to make the audience question that “weak link” notion and instead consider to what extent we sufficiently support our users.
