Recent years have shown how vulnerable Denmark is. Not only to cyberattacks, but also to simple operational disruptions. When that happens, it’s not just about technology. It’s about leadership, responsiveness and responsibility. It’s about society’s digital resilience.

On Strategic IT Security Day, 200 IT professionals gather to strengthen digital resilience – and build systems that don’t break when the pressure increases.

The day focuses on:

  • The current threat landscape and requirements from, among others, NIS2
  • How to detect and handle crashes and attacks – before they become critical
  • Practical experience from companies that have been affected – and have learned from it

 

The program combines concrete cases with expert knowledge about prevention, recovery and resilience in practice. Participation is free – but reserved for professional IT users.

Thomas Riisgaard Hansen, Managing Director, DIREC will give a presentation at 14.30 – 15.00

Specialized knowledge and collaboration lead to unique, competitive cybersecurity solutions

The demand for cybersecurity solutions is rising, and AI and quantum developments are accelerating it further. To compete with well-funded international players, Danish companies need unique competitive advantages.

Such advantages come from unique technology that is hard to copy. In the Next Generation AI project, Digital Research Centre Denmark (DIREC), Security Tech Space (STS), and the National Defence Technology Centre (NFC) have worked with companies to create these advantages by combining industry knowledge with specialized research and defence technology.

In this post, Thomas will briefly present the project, its approach, and opportunities to get involved.
