To understand today's cyber threat landscape and be prepared for what might be coming is getting harder and harder. Just looking at the list of potential cyber attacks can seem overwhelming even to the most experienced IT security specialists.

​

At the IT ATTACKS cybersecurity conference in Copenhagen, we choose to focus on some of the most relevant threats, so that you as a participant will get as much valuable knowledge as possible. 

​

At this years conference, we have gathered some of the leading IT security experts in Europe who will be speaking about their views on the cyber threat situation today and how to stay protected.

​

​

Our two guest speakers will touch on topics that are very relevant today:

 

THE NATIONAL CYBER THREAT AGAINST DENMARK  

Thorsten Foldager Johnsen is the head of the Threat Assessment Unit in the Center for Cybersecurity, which is part of the Danish Defense Intelligence Service. Thorsten wants to give an orientation on topics concerning national cyber security threats, which Denmark and other countries face on a national level. Against the background of current developments in Europe, these cyber security topics are high on the agenda for all the Nordic countries.

 

​

THE NEW NIS DIRECTIVE - WHICH BUSINESSES WILL BE AFFECTED AND WHAT ACTIONS NEED TO BE TAKEN 

Martin H. Nielsen is an attorney working in the field of data protection and technology related matters with DLA Piper. Before becoming an attorney, Martin worked for 25+ years with IT and information security, both as a consultant and internally at a large company in the financial industry.

​

The purpose of the directive is to strengthen the general level of protection of systems and infrastructure, so with the directive, in-scope organizations will be required to take a structured and formalized approach to cyber and information security, implementing security measures appropriate to the documented risk. Therefore, going forward, failure to have appropriate security will not only expose companies to cyber threats, but also to legal proceedings, even though the risks do not materialize.

At this time, we do not know exactly how the directive will be implemented in Denmark, but we know that a much larger group of business and public institutions will be in scope for this directive, compared to the current NIS directive, and we know the types of requirements that will come.
