Breaking into Cybersecurity 436 followers 1d •
So… cybersecurity roles in practice. A job title only tells you so much. This was about getting a feel for the work behind those titles and seeing what might spark your interest.

Over 140 people signed up for BICS x HiQ in the first two days. Within a week, we were past 200. And thanks to HiQ, we had room for almost all of you who signed up at their beautiful office in Stockholm!

We asked six panelists what they actually do all day and how they got into it. And you came with plenty of questions of your own, taking the conversation from insider threats to AI agents.

Anders Spalding brought the national security perspective, from insider threats to the human side of protecting an organisation.

Louise Hellerström shared how she turns security requirements into routines teams can actually use.

Albert Koubov Gonzalez, Reversec shared what a security audit looks like and what it can reveal about how an organisation works.

Diyala Isabar took us from investigating cybercrime to finding vulnerabilities as a penetration tester.

Patrik Nordlén, Gardera Security brought both the attacker’s and the defender’s perspective to building secure products.

Erkin Ekici with his experience in banking, cloud security and AI research, talked about what it takes to secure AI agents that act on our behalf.

Then Caroline Forssblad put on a song and got us all on our feet for a power pose. Her interactive talk got us thinking about how we explain security without jargon and especially relevant for bridging the gap between experts and newcomers. It was also a glimpse into Rise & Lead - Under Pressure, her masterclass on communication and self-leadership.

Thank you to everyone who came, asked a question, shared a story or stayed to chat. And again, a big thank you to the HiQ team for hosting us and making the evening possible, providing drinks food and of course, the amazing venue. It was so good to spend it with you.

We had LOTS och questions from the audience during the panel. We will soon publish and share these with you on our website. And yes, we heard what you’d like to see at the next meetup. We’re on it. 😉

Have you now gotten an idea of where you fit in?

As always, thanks to everyone who came, asked a question, shared a bit of their own story or stayed to chat afterwards. See you at the next one!

Thank you to the 140 people who joined us. The questions were sharp, and there wasn't enough time to answer everyone or go deeper. If you're curious about using, building or securing AI agents, feel free to connect or reach out.

Nobody has ten years of experience in AI agent security yet. The door just opened.

Special thanks to Robin Raczkiewicz for coordinating everything with care and clear communication. Thank you also to Einar Bergviken and Helen Mehari-Tesfay for organizing and moderating, and to Mia Pääsuke and the HiQ team for hosting.
