“The importance of cyber security is increasing year by year. Cyber security offers new business opportunities for solution providers and users. If security issues are not taken care of, damage and recovering from it can cause major problems”, says Juha Remes, Executive Director of FISC. “We learn from the past, examine the present, and trust the future – which we can significantly influence by making the right decisions. Cyber Security Nordic brings together industry leaders to illustrate how cyber security is part of the business of companies and organisations, how it affects competitiveness, and the role cyber security plays in society. The event will also feature cyber industry trends and phenomena.”
