Information and cyber security - practical information for business owners

Good security is a prerequisite for succeeding with the opportunities offered by digitization and for creating confidence in digital developments in society, businesses and individuals. Different types of threats and vulnerabilities need to be managed to ensure safe operations and activities, as well as personal integrity, trust and security.

The threats to our IT systems are changing and becoming increasingly asymmetric. Today, everything and everyone is a potential target and anyone can carry out attacks with little means, which can have major unintended consequences. You need to be able to manage the big picture and the details at the same time; understanding internal and external threats, physical and logical security, the risk of being used as a tool in attacks against others, and taking into account the human factor. This results in a greatly increased need for insight, maturity and competence among both clients and suppliers.

Here we have put together a collection of links to practical information for you as an entrepreneur.
