Simula Seminar: Emerging Topics in Cyber Security

Awarded: NOK 99,999

In this seminar, Simula invites participants from the private and public sectors to explore big picture questions at the intersection of technology and society; questions such as how are emerging technologies challenging and transforming cyber security? And how might this impact national security and sovereignty? By featuring experts like Roar Thon (Norwegian National Security Authority) and Prof. Olav Lysne (Lysne Utvalget III), this seminar will feature important updates on the current and likely future state of cyber security and national digital infrastructure control in Norway. Simula researchers will provide state-of-the art insights on emerging technologies relevant to digital security, including quantum cyber security (Prof. Carlos Cid, Simula UiB) and malicious AI (Prof. Michael Riegler, SimulaMet). Participants will also learn about best-practices for ML-operations from a security perspective (Thorvald Ballestad, Simula Consulting), and the importance of security culture at Vipps from John Arild Johansen (CISO, Vipps). This event is designed to be accessible to both professionals and non-professionals, ensuring a wide understanding of the evolving landscape of cyber security. The seminar aims to encourage the adoption of advanced security practices and policies, and to foster interdisciplinary collaboration by bringing together contributors and participants from academia, industry and the public sector to explore emerging digital security measures and threats in the Norwegian context.
