IT Security Insights 2027

Opening Remarks by Our Co-Hosts: Ulf Berglund and John Wallhoff

Sweden is facing an increasingly complex and rapidly evolving cyber threat landscape. This session will focus onthe current state of cybersecurity in Sweden, emerging threats and the strategic priorities needed to strengthen national cyber resilience. We will also explore the role of NCSC Sweden in fostering collaboration and enhancing Sweden's ability to prevent, detect, and respond to cyber threats.

Key takeaways: 

• What does the current cybersecurity landscape in Sweden look like?

• What strategic priorities should Sweden focus on to strengthen its cyber resilience?

• How does NCSC Sweden contribute to national cybersecurity through collaboration and coordination?

We have built an enormous industry around cybersecurity.We have created frameworks, regulations, certifications, standards, technologies, consultancies, dashboards and now thousands of AI companies.

Key Takeaways:

• This talk will explore several key themes, including how security approaches differ across sectors and organisations, how fear has become an integral part of the security landscape, the competence paradox, the rise of AI snake oil, and the fundamental question: What does cybersecurity really mean?

Agentic AI is redefining the relationship between humans, technology, and security. As AI systems evolve from assistants to autonomous agents capable of planning, deciding, and acting on our behalf, organizations face unprecedented opportunities and risks. Future security strategies must address not only intelligent cyber threats, but also how to govern, secure, and trust AI agents operating across business processes and critical systems. This keynote explores how agentic AI is reshaping cyber defense, digital trust, and global competitiveness, and what leaders must do today to build resilience in an increasingly autonomous world.

Key Takeaways

• What happens when every organization gains access to thousands of AI-powered digital workers?
• How will agentic AI reshape the balance of power between defenders, attackers, companies, and nations?
• What security, identity, and governance principles are required before AI agents can be trusted with autonomy?
• Will the future of cybersecurity be humans assisted by AI, or AI systems supervised by humans?

Dive into the morning dynamic breakout sessions with hands-on workshops and live demos. You will an opportunity to choose from 3 exciting parallel tracks, each powered by our supporting partners.

The rapid adoption of AI is transforming both business productivity and the cyber threat landscape. Organizations are entering a new reality where AI can amplify existing risks, create entirely new attack paths, and challenge traditional security models. Drawing on practical experiences from the financial sector, this session explores how organizations can scale AI adoption while maintaining security, resilience, governance, and regulatory compliance.

Key Takeways:

• How can organizations accelerate AI adoption without expanding their attack surface beyond what they can effectively manage?
• What new risks emerge when AI systems gain access to sensitive information, enterprise knowledge, and business processes?
• Which security controls are essential to address agentic AI, prompt injection, data exposure, and AI-driven abuse?
• How can organizations balance innovation, productivity, resilience, and regulatory expectations in an increasingly AI-powered world?

Gain valuable insights and discover new approaches to today��s cybersecurity challenges as a select group of 4 vendors deliver focused, five-minute pitches on the main stage. Each presentation offers attendees an opportunity to learn about innovative technologies, practical solutions and emerging trends that can help address real-world security challenges and inform their own strategies.

The AI-powered threat era has a regulatory answer: NIS2. Since 15 January 2026, Sweden's Cybersecurity Act (cybersäkerhetslagen) and its föreskrifter have placed binding security requirements on thousands of organisations — energy, transport, healthcare, municipalities, manufacturers, digital providers — many of them regulated for the first time, and most without security specialists of their own. More than a year in, the gap between what the law demands and what organisations actually understand remains wide.

Key Takeaways:

• In this session, Fredrik Blix launches säkerhet.se live on stage: a free, open resource that translates the NIS2 Directive, the Cybersecurity Act and the MCF föreskrifter into clear, practical guidance any organisation can act on — regardless of budget or in-house expertise.

• The launch is also a case study in this year's theme. säkerhet.se was built through deliberate collaboration between AI and humans: AI agents drafting and structuring at scale, with experienced experts reviewing, correcting and taking accountability for every page. Fredrik shares candid lessons from the build — where AI genuinely accelerates regulatory work, where it fails dangerously, and what "AI plus human expertise" must mean when the subject matter is law and security.

Join one of our most highly anticipated conference features: Roundtable Discussions. These interactive sessions offer a unique opportunity to exchange experiences, share insights and discuss some of the most relevant and trending topics in today’s cybersecurity landscape with up to 12 expert roundtable moderators.

Delegates will have the opportunity to rotate between tables every 40 minutes, with a maximum of two rotations. This allows you to choose discussions that align with your professional interests and address the challenges and priorities that matter most to you.

Each roundtable will accommodate approximately 10–12 participants, creating an engaging environment for meaningful conversations, peer-to-peer learning and valuable knowledge sharing.

Dive into the afternoon dynamic breakout sessions with hands-on workshops and live demos. You will choose from 3 exciting parallel tracks, each powered by our supporting partners.

Quantum computing is set to reshape cybersecurity. Discover the risks to today’s encryption and explore emerging post-quantum solutions.

Key Takeaways:

Leave with practical steps to assess your organisation’s readiness, protect sensitive data, and build resilience against tomorrow’s quantum-enabled threats.
