CISO Intelligence
Built for CISOs, CIOs, Heads of Security, and decision-makers across the Nordics, the Intel Room gives you a clear, unfiltered overview of the challenges, blind spots, and opportunities that will define this year’s program.

- Securing the New Non-Human Workforce (Technology & Governance)
- Compliance, Regulation, and Operations (Governance & Risk)
- Awareness, Collaboration, and Workforce Limitations (Workforce & Collaboration)
30 Roundtables. 30 Topics. 60 Moderators. 3 Critical Focus Areas. Fireside Chats.
THE 2026 INTELLIGENCE FRAMEWORK
The 2026 Intelligence Framework brings together the region’s most urgent security priorities into one coordinated agenda: 30 roundtables, 30 focused topics, and 60 expert moderators driving deep, practical discussion. Each session is designed to help leaders decode the real pressures shaping identity, cloud, AI governance, compliance, and resilience in the year ahead.
Across three critical focus areas, the rise of the non-human workforce, regulatory and operational balance, and collaboration under workforce strain – you’ll engage in fireside debates, tactical exchanges, and cross-sector insights that reveal the true pressure map for the Nordic region. This is where the intelligence behind 2026 takes shape.

Securing the New Non-Human Workforce: AI Agents and Machine Identities in Law Enforcement
Law enforcement agencies increasingly rely on AI-driven systems and machine identities—ranging from automated surveillance to digital case management tools. These “non-human actors” can outnumber human operators, raising new security, accountability, and governance challenges.
- Managing the identity lifecycle of AI agents and automated systems while meeting national and EU data protection requirements (GDPR/Swedish regulations).
- Securing automated processes—such as predictive policing systems or automated reporting pipelines—against misuse, tampering, or insider threats.
- Embedding governance, auditability, and compliance into AI deployment from design to operations.
Defender of the Law: Andrew Byrd, CISO, NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCI Agency)
Green Room
12:10 Securing AI at Scale: Governance That Enables Innovation
Explore how leading enterprises implement secure, scalable AI pipelines without slowing adoption. Hear from in-house security leaders who balance governance with operational agility.
- Best practices for AI agent oversight, runtime controls, and auditability.
- Balancing security, compliance, and speed in enterprise AI deployments.
- Lessons learned from scaling AI safely across multiple business units.
- Preparing for upcoming regulatory guidance and identity management trends.
Blue Room
12:10 Beyond Awareness: The Deep Framework for the next Evolution of Security & Human Risk Management platform in the current reality
For too long, security has relied on expensive, ineffective annual training that addresses a knowledge problem when it should be focused on a behavioral challenge. This results in the human being the enterprise's most valuable, yet most frequently targeted, asset. This session pivots the conversation from the static Awareness Plateau to measurable, strategic risk reduction.
We will introduce the next era of organisational defense: Workforce Trust Management (WTM), a framework essential for securing your newly hybrid organization—the diverse combination of humans, bots, and AI agents. Learn how to quantify this hybrid risk, apply behavioral science to build a positive, shame-free security culture, and implement the actionable DEEP Framework (Defend, Educate, Empower, Protect) to move your program from expensive compliance to strategic, business-aligned intelligence.
Speaker: Javvad Malik, Lead Security Awareness CISO, KnowBe4
Balancing Compliance, Regulation, and Operational Efficiency in Public Security
Law enforcement and municipal IT departments must navigate strict regulatory frameworks without slowing mission-critical operations. This session explores strategies for ensuring compliance while maintaining agility.
- Aligning IT, security, risk management, and HR to meet evolving legal and operational requirements in policing and municipal services.
- Transitioning from static, checklist-based compliance to continuous, automated assurance that scales across agencies.
- Avoiding bottlenecks in digital transformation and AI adoption while staying accountable to Swedish and EU regulations.
Defender of the Law: Anders Engkvist, Säkerhetschef/Head of Security, Försvarsmakten (Swedish Navy)
Speaker: Felix Blanke, Director, Solutions Engineering, Exabeam
Awareness, Collaboration, and Workforce Limitations in Law Enforcement Cybersecurity
Talent shortages and fragmented inter-agency cooperation can limit cyber resilience. This session focuses on improving real-time awareness and leveraging cross-sector partnerships to strengthen defenses.
- Enhancing inter-agency collaboration within Swedish municipalities and with national law enforcement authorities.
- Upskilling and cross-training teams to handle emerging threats, from ransomware to insider misuse of AI tools.
- Improving situational awareness with secure, coordinated incident response and intelligence sharing.
- Leveraging public-private partnerships for threat intelligence, workforce augmentation, and operational readiness.
Defender of the Law: Emmanuel Kessler, Chef d’équipe partenariat & sensibilisation - head of team partnership & outreach, Europol
