Utökad information om evenemangetSweden’s total defence concept sets out an ambition to develop a modern and efficient response to cyber threats. An adequate response to these threats demand elements of defensive as well as offensive capabilities. Most experts agree that cyber defence must become mainstream enough to be integrated into the operational planning process.

With a view from Sweden and the international arena, our panellists will discuss the road ahead to a modern cyber defence.
