Top Cybersecurity Concerns from the Stockholm Tech Show – And How FS Group is Solving Them

The Stockholm Tech Show 2025 gathered the brightest minds in technology and innovation, and cybersecurity took center stage. As threat actors grow more sophisticated and digital transformation accelerates across sectors, companies in fintech, insurance, and retail share common pain points. From conversations with CISOs to panel discussions and booth visits, FS Group identified three recurring cybersecurity concerns, and is already helping clients address them head-on.

1. The Cyber Skills Gap Is Slowing Security Maturity

What we heard:
Companies are struggling to hire and retain qualified cybersecurity professionals. This shortage is especially acute in high-compliance industries like finance and insurance, where the cost of errors is high.

FS Group’s solution:
Our Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service acts as a virtual extension of your in-house team. With 24/7 SOC coverage, automated threat hunting, and expert human analysts on call, we give you the power of a full security team—without the hiring struggle. For resource-constrained teams, we also offer Incident Response as a Service (IRaaS), ready to step in during critical breach scenarios.

2. Lack of Visibility into Threats and Infrastructure Blind Spots

What we heard:
Many cybersecurity teams still operate in reactive mode, lacking real-time visibility into emerging threats, compromised credentials, or misconfigured assets.

3. Slow Incident Response Time and Inadequate Playbooks

What we heard:
When breaches happen, too many organizations lack clearly defined response protocols or the ability to act fast enough to contain damage, especially in decentralized, cloud-heavy environments.

FS Group’s solution:
Our IRT (Incident Response Team) is built for speed and precision. With proven playbooks tailored to regulated sectors like fintech and retail, we reduce mean time to detect (MTTD) and respond (MTTR). Whether through digital forensics, containment, or post-incident audits, we ensure minimal downtime and reputational impact.

Practical Takeaways from Stockholm

• Invest in proactive visibility – Don’t wait for a breach to know you’re exposed. Continuous threat monitoring is no longer optional.
  
• Outsource where it counts – Hybrid security models combining internal teams and MDR providers are proving highly effective for mid-sized enterprises.
  
• Train and test regularly – Whether through tabletop exercises or simulated phishing, preparedness must be built into the company culture.
