[vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text css=””]As we gear up for the State of Cyber Security conference in Stockholm this December, cybersecurity experts and enthusiasts alike are excited to hear from keynote speaker Jesper Larsson. With his vast experience in offensive security and his notable contributions to the Swedish tech scene, Jesper is a name many in the industry recognize, whether through his work as a penetration tester, his contributions to the popular podcast \u201cS\u00e4kerhetspodden,\u201d or his appearance on the Swedish TV show Hackad<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Jesper Larsson has carved a unique path in the cybersecurity world. He describes himself as a freelancer, working solo, though he collaborates closely with Cure53, a German-based security firm. \u201cWe are like 25 persons that hack a bunch of companies throughout the world, but in a good way. We get paid to find vulnerabilities and suggest fixes,\u201d Jesper explained, emphasizing the importance of ethical hacking in today\u2019s complex digital landscape.<\/p>\n

Beyond his day-to-day work, Jesper is passionate about giving back to the security community. This has led him to launch various initiatives, including his podcast, which aims to demystify the cybersecurity world for a wider audience, and Security Fest, a conference designed to connect students with industry professionals. \u201cWhen I was growing up, getting into security was really a lot of elitism. I didn\u2019t like that. Gatekeeping knowledge doesn\u2019t help foster the next generation of brilliant minds,\u201d Jesper shared. His focus on inclusivity and knowledge-sharing makes him a standout figure in the field.<\/p>\n

Sweden\u2019s Leading Role in Cybersecurity<\/strong><\/p>\n

When asked about Sweden\u2019s unique position in the global tech and security sector, Jesper points to the country\u2019s early adoption of advanced infrastructure. \u201cThe fiber initiative in Sweden, which was supported by the government, really set us apart. We\u2019ve had fast internet for a long time, and that has allowed the tech sector to flourish,\u201d he said. The high level of tech-savviness in Sweden, combined with this infrastructure, has made the country a leader in cybersecurity.<\/p>\n

However, Sweden\u2019s challenges in combating cybercrime are not to be underestimated. Jesper highlighted the rise in cyber-related crime, particularly ransomware attacks, which are becoming a growing concern not just in Sweden but globally. \u201cWe are seeing more ransomware-driven by malware, and new regulations mean companies are now required to report incidents. This has both positive and negative implications. While it forces transparency, it also creates new vulnerabilities for companies,\u201d he noted. The increasing pressure to report incidents may also incentivize hackers, as organizations are now more vulnerable to public leaks of sensitive data.<\/p>\n

The Future of Cybersecurity<\/strong><\/p>\n

Looking ahead, Jesper sees several emerging threats that organizations need to take seriously. \u201cAI and large language models are game changers. They\u2019re not just buzzwords. The amount of data we\u2019ve collected over the years is being harnessed in ways we couldn\u2019t have predicted,\u201d he said. Jesper himself is already using AI in his work, training local models on previous reports to streamline the process of identifying vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n

As more companies shift to cloud-native environments, the attack surface is expanding. \u201cWhat does cloud-native even mean? It\u2019s a buzzword, but it essentially allows organizations to scale and operate dynamically across multiple cloud providers. That flexibility is powerful, but it also opens up new security challenges,\u201d Jesper explained. As companies move toward this model, ensuring security across different cloud providers will be a significant focus.<\/p>\n

A Preview of the Keynote<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the upcoming State of Cyber Security conference, Jesper\u2019s keynote will dive deep into the modern attack cycle and the economic mechanics behind cybercrime. \u201cI\u2019m going to walk participants through the entire ransomware process\u2014how criminals infect systems, where they sell data, and how they get paid. It\u2019s important for people to understand that this is an entire ecosystem,\u201d he said. By showcasing real-world examples from the dark web, Jesper aims to raise awareness of the scale and sophistication of these attacks.<\/p>\n

The keynote will also address practical steps that organizations and individuals can take to defend against these threats. \u201cWe can\u2019t keep relying on users not clicking on bad links in 2024. That\u2019s outdated thinking,\u201d Jesper emphasized. His talk will focus on how companies can harden their security layers and make it more difficult for attackers to succeed.<\/p>\n

Why You Should Attend<\/strong><\/p>\n

As cybersecurity becomes increasingly critical in today\u2019s digital world, events like the State of Cyber Security conference offer invaluable opportunities to learn, connect, and strategize for the future. Jesper sums it up: \u201cThe biggest reason to attend? Networking. The problems you\u2019re facing are likely shared by others, and gaining new perspectives is key to making informed decisions in this field.\u201d<\/p>\n

For anyone working in cybersecurity or concerned about the future of digital security, Jesper\u2019s keynote is not to be missed. His insights, drawn from years of experience on the frontlines of cybersecurity, will provide participants with a roadmap for navigating today\u2019s complex and ever-evolving threat landscape.[\/vc_column_text]
