The global pandemic has changed the way we all live and work and now more than ever the IT/security department has become crucial in keeping businesses growing and employees connected. One of the unexpected, positive, changes for CIOs, CISOs and senior tech executives has been the rapid shift in digital technology to ensure businesses can stay ahead of their competitors and discover new opportunities to drive business growth whilst lowering costs, as we attempt to get back to normality. You've led your team through one of the hardest periods in our global history and overcome huge obstacles for not only your IT and security department but your entire business, but all of these challenges also bring many possibilities. This is why attending this CDM Media Summit will give you the chance to engage in peer-to-peer networking, whilst discussing the issues currently affecting senior executives from a variety of key industries.

The cyber security industry has reached a critical point. In 2021, 4 in 10 companies in the UK reported having cyber security breaches or attacks. The increasing sophistication of cyber criminals, coupled with the rapid shift to digital technologies brought about by the coronavirus pandemic, has emphasised cyber security’s importance for both individual organisations and wider society.

Welcome to the 8th Edition of the IT Security Insights Conference, which will bring together key stakeholders in the cybersecurity marketplace in Sweden. These key stakeholders include IT security practitioners, technology providers, start-ups, and academics, all of whom work with information security and cybersecurity matters. The purpose of this conference is to discuss current IT Security challenges faced by leading Nordic and global organizations. On the 31st of January, 2024, the event will take place at the Hotel Birger Jarl in Stockholm, Sweden, and will utilize a hybrid format with both online and in-person participation.

Cybersecurity has always contended with evolving threats. As the internet has become more embedded into social and economic life and smart phones, tablets and other handheld devices become ubiquitous, bad actors have devised new attacks to capitalize on new vulnerabilities. And just as agencies are implementing zero trust architecture to help with this wave, other IT developments are threatening to upend cybersecurity even more. For instance, artificial intelligence is being incorporated into software, even as elected officials and regulatory agencies are trying to develop new rules of the road for its use. At the same time, historically-offline operations technology is beginning to be integrated with IT systems, opening up the OT to attacks that previously weren’t feasible.
