Strengthening Cybersecurity in the Nordics – FS Group at Cybersecurity Nordic Annual Conference
FS Group participated as a Golden Partner in Cybersecurity Nordic 2024, one of the top industry events in Northern Europe. Held at the Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre, the conference drew over 2,000 visitors and more than 50 exhibitors, making it one of the largest gatherings for cybersecurity professionals in the region. FS Group continues to expand its footprint across the Nordics, and the conference provided the perfect setting to showcase our Threat Intelligence products and services, build new partnerships, understand the unique cybersecurity needs of the Nordic market, and present ourselves as a trusted partner in proactive risk management and incident response.
Areas of Interest of Our Partners and Clients
The FS Group team spent two days engaging with industry leaders, colleagues, and potential partners. As we shared our cybersecurity expertise, we noticed a few key topics that captured the attention of our booth visitors:
- Threat Intelligence
- Platform Blue for Threat Monitoring and Investigation
- Compliance Penetration Testing
- Cybersecurity Audits to Evaluate Cybersecurity Maturity
Our booth at stand G3 became a hub of activity where the focus was on helping organizations understand and counteract the threats they face daily. Here’s a recap of what happened and why it mattered for FS Group and the broader cybersecurity community in the Nordics.
Expert Insights from the Stage and Booth
Our Nordics Country Manager, Peter Strate, delivered an insightful presentation named “Lessons Learned from Ukraine’s Cyberwar”, sharing how our experiences protecting critical infrastructure during the ongoing russian cyberwar against Ukraine have shaped our strategies. This topic resonated well with attendees, especially given its relevance to the geopolitical landscape in the Nordics and the need of companies to partner up with a cybersecurity provider who knows the threats and malicious strategies from the inside out. Peter explained practical approaches to maximizing cybersecurity measures, emphasizing the role of threat intelligence, regular penetration testing, and early risk detection. For those who didn’t get a chance to listen to it live, we’ve gathered key highlights from Peter’s speech in our newest Youtube video.
With years of experience navigating complex cyber incidents, the FS Group experts were able to address individual concerns, providing real-world case studies of how proactive measures can prevent significant damage. We’re grateful for the many conversations we had, where we shared knowledge and learned more about the specific challenges that organizations in the Nordics are facing nowadays.
Growing Interest in Threat Intelligence and Platform Blue
With the increase in sophisticated cyberattacks targeting businesses in the Nordics, visitors recognized the need for real-time insights into threats affecting their industries, there was significant interest in Threat Intelligence and our Platform Blue.
FS Group’s Platform Blue stood out as a comprehensive platform for threat monitoring and investigation, giving organizations access to vital threat data b y collecting information from Deep and Dark Web sources. The attendees were willing to learn how they could proactively identify vulnerabilities, prioritize patching, avoid insider threats and data breaches, and plan their incident response to be able to respond swiftly before a cyber incident gets out of control.
Compliance Penetration Testing and Cybersecurity Audits
Another area of interest was our Compliance Pentest services. As regulatory requirements, such as NIS2, continue to grow, organizations in the Nordics are actively seeking comprehensive penetration testing to meet compliance standards and secure their digital assets. FS Group’s penetration testing helps companies not only tick the compliance box but also ensures a thorough evaluation of their systems to discover vulnerabilities and remediate them before they become serious issues.
The interest in Cybersecurity Audits to evaluate organizational cybersecurity maturity showed that the need to understand where a company stands in its cybersecurity posture is one of the top priorities for companies in the Nordics. We discussed how our comprehensive audits help organizations pinpoint gaps in their defenses and establish an effective plan for improving overall cybersecurity maturity.
Partnership Announcement
During the event, we also announced a new partnership with local reseller XaaSIT Oy (Finland), highlighting our commitment to providing tailored cybersecurity solutions to the Nordic region. By working closely with XaaSIT Oy, we aim to bring our advanced cybersecurity technologies to a broader audience, helping businesses effectively secure their infrastructure amidst cyber threats and rest assured that their business is compliant with the advanced security standards and has a team of professionals ready to have its back if an incident occurs.
