The event is divided into two parts:

18:00-19:00 – first part where cybersecurity experts from Finland and Estonia will be taking the stage. This part is conducted fully in English and it is streamed live on Facebook and YouTube (hint: better in person).

Starting off the evening, Aleksi Rantaniemi (NCSC-FI, National Cyber Security Centre of Finland), will provide an overview of the cyber threats looming over Finland. 

Providing a broader view of the threats and situation in the Nordic region is a representative of the Northern European Cybersecurity Cluster (NECC), Juha Remes (Chairman of the Board), accompanied by Reijo Savola (CEO).

In the third segment, under our traditional rubric "State of the Cyber Space," we'll be looking much-much further. We are pleased to announce the presence of Brendan Dowling, the Australian Ambassador for Cyber Affairs and Critical Technology, who will be joining us on the stage to discuss the cybersecurity situation in a whole other side of the globe. Let us see what similarities or differences we could identify.  

Concluding Part I of the event, Hendrik Pillmann, the R&D Expert Coordinator at RIA, will present the findings of our AI and machine learning technology risks and opportunities research we conducted in cooperation with Cybernetica. The findings are currently available in Estonian on our webpage.

19:00-… – Since CyberMeetUp has somewhat evolved into an informal monthly gathering for the cyber community, the second half of the event is dedicated to networking. At 19:00, alongside snacks and drinks, we'll exchange contacts, thoughts, and experiences (good, bad and the ugly). This part will not be live-streamed!

Please RSVP on Facebook or LinkedIn, to give us an idea of how to plan food and drinks. New cybersecurity community members are certainly welcome therefore bring a colleague.

This event is co-funded by the European Union and the European Cybersecurity Competence Centre.
