Thanks to Ellen Brataas the CEO of IIA Norge for facilitating today's exchange about proactive vulnerabilities and threat management, which I moderated. During the forum Alexander Hagenah, Head of Cyber Controls at SIX shared information on a free capability, that he developed for systematic CVE management called 𝗦𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗶𝘁𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗻. In addition to that, he kindly stayed on to field questions on cyber best practice. Below is a snippet on the origin story of the tool along with the management assurance it helps deliver. More on 𝗦𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗶𝘁𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗻 can be accessed below: https://lnkd.in/e4n8Mc-q #cyber

Study reveals: Nordic CIOs focus on cybersecurity and alignment with business strategy – also discuss the impacts of AI The honorary chairman of ICT Leaders Finland ILF Tomi Dahlberg had the privilege to open the CIO Nordics 2024 at Stockholm’s Grand Hotel on April 16th with a keynote speech. The topic was: “What matters do IT executives evaluate most important in their daily work?” ILF cooperated with CIO Nordics & Citrus Events’ CEO Rebecca Symonds to sponsor the event to our members and by providing experts. ILF’s chairman of the board Pete Nieminen and Antti Ryysy had a keynote talk on cybersecurity and participated into two panel discussions with their Nordic colleagues. ILF conducted a study in 2023-2024 on what matters do practicing CIOs, CDOs, IT directors… perceive most important in their daily work. We sent an invitation to the study to 400+ persons, that is, to all Finnish IT executives we were able to identify. They were asked to evaluate 44 matters, which ranged from the deployment of emerging technologies, such as AI or DLT, to the alignment of business and IT, and from skill and competencies development to business continuity and information security protection. The importance of each matter was evaluated on a scale from 0 (not at all important) to 100 (extremely important). We conducted a similar study in March-May 2020. Picture below is the synopsis and comparison of the top10 matters in both studies.   As a whole, the content of CIO Nordics 2024 matched well with matters IT executives consider important. As a single matter, the tasks, the role and the impact of cybersecurity and AI were discussed most during the event. CIO Nordics will send the invitation to study to additional IT executives. Please, respond and get the final study report. In his closing remark towards the end of CIO Nordics 2024, Tomi Dahlberg summarized the significance of the event: “Although it is easy to us to meet in Teams, Zoom, Meets etc. and to share ideas via social media and other electronic outlets, it is necessary to meet face-to-face from time to time to network to be able  to share and discuss experiences with colleagues we would not otherwise meet. Possibility to listen to seasoned experts combined with the opportunity to evaluate, contemplate, and even challenge their insights with colleagues in a friendly atmosphere is also unique to these events. Cooperation with technology- and vendor-independent CIO associations, like ILF, is in my opinion a win-win means to increase relevance to participants. Looking forward to future CIO Nordics events.” #cios #cdos #ITleaders #cybersecurity #businessITalignment #AI

Together with Søren Elnegaard, I'm excited to take part and speak at ISS World about Cross Domain Solutions (IEG) and how we can protect CLASSIFIED GOVERNMENT NETWORKS and Intelligence Support Systems. Today maintaining confidentiality is the biggest cyber threat to National Security (CIA mode).

Last week, we organized the Cybersecurity Summit 2024 at Hamburger Börs in Stockholm, where IT-KANALEN.SE was present to interview our expert Daniel Olsson, Senior Security Architect and Incident Manager at Truesec's Incident Response Team. Among other things, Daniel discussed the current cyber threat landscape in Sweden and the Nordics. "Sweden, the Nordic countries, or Northern Europe – there is really no difference between them since threat actors do not operate geographically but opportunistically. Looking back, threat actors sought large targets with significant revenue. Now it's different. Today, they go after everything. It has shifted from precision shooting to attempting to catch both big and small fish. They are targeting everything they can,” says Daniel. Read the full article by following the link below.

Cybersecurity and alignment top CIOs’ daily work according to our study published on April 16th and 18th, 2024 I add personal remarks as I conducted the study together with Päivi Hokkanen. We are the research committee within ICT Leaders Finland ILF’s board, both with Ph.D. in information systems science and 15+ year CIO careers.  We are delighted to add Ph.D. Kari Hiekkanen to our committee as a new ILF board member.  During the fall 2023, we worked hard to identify as many practicing IT executives as possible in Finland. Thus, we were able to send the invitation to the study to over 400 persons in over 400 organizations. With two reminders we received 100 responses with 50+ propositions for additional key matters. During the second round, the 100 respondents of the first round were asked to evaluate the new set of 34 matters that combined the 28 most important matters of the first round with 6 matters condensed from the proposed key matters of round one. We received 73 responses. To understand the reliability of results we statistically compared - with T-test and 95 % confidence interval - the similarity of means for each 44 matters of round one between the 73 persons that responded to both rounds and the 27 persons that responded only to round one. The finding was that with 95 % confidence the means of the two groups are similar for all 44 matters. We next focused on the non-responding 300+ IT executives. Are their evaluations similar or not? We sent an additional invitation with two reminders to these persons. We invited them to evaluate the 44 matters of round one and received 21 additional responses. We compared the similarity of means for each 44 matters between the original 100 respondents and the new 21 responses. Again, the result was that with 95 % confidence the means of the two groups are similar for all 44 matters. Conclusion: The results of the study report reliably matters that Finnish IT leaders evaluate important in their daily work. We presented findings at CIO Nordics 2024 on April 16th and in Finland on April 18th. We have received a lot of nice constructive feedback. Many Thanks!
