  FEM udviklinger i cybersikkerhed der bør optage erhvervslivet i 2025: Søren Gjevert Petersen, der er ansvarlig for vores cybersikkerhedsløsninger, giver i Computerworld sit bud på, hvad der vil og bør dominere danske virksomheders arbejde med cybersikkerhed i 2025. ➡️Voksende trusler kræver særlig treenighed Det aktuelle alvorlige trusselsbillede kalder i endnu højere grad på, at man vurderer sine risici i forhold til treenigheden bestående af fortrolighed, integritet og tilgængelighed, også kaldet CIA. Særligt tilgængeligheden fylder i stigende grad set i lyset af blandt andet de nylige brud på søkabler, og man er nødt til grundigt at overveje redundansen i for eksempel sit netværk og sin strømforsyning for at mindske risikoen for at blive lammet af et nedbrud. ➡️Kryptér for fremtiden Med abstrakt hurtig kvanteteknologi i horisonten er hackere begyndt at operere med en ’steal now, decrypt later’-strategi. De lægger så at sige stjålet data i skuffen til den dag, de har værktøjerne til at åbne den. ➡️Ny regulering kræver styr på butikken I løbet af 2025 bliver de to nye EU-direktiver, NIS 2 og DORA, implementeret i medlemslandene. Er du underleverandør til en omfattet organisation, skal du også kunne dokumentere, at I lever op til de nye regler. ➡️Ny teknologi til værn mod den lumske trussel: Medarbejderne 2025 bliver året, hvor SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) tager fart, så adgangskontrolteknologi i endnu højere grad integreres i selve løsningerne og i hardwaren, frem for at den enkelte organisation selv skal opbygge et setup. Det er med til at sikre, at medarbejdere ikke utilsigtet giver hackere adgang, fx via phishing. ➡️Lad være med at putte med viden Selv et mindre nedbrud af kortere varighed kan få meget store konsekvenser – også langt ud i forsyningskæden. Hvis man ikke vil dele med sine konkurrenter, at man er midt i en storm af DDoS-angreb fra russiske IP-adresser, som lige om lidt også rammer dem, har man misforstået noget. Vi skal blive langt bedre til at dele viden med hinanden inden for sektorer og på tværs af sektorer. Du kan læse hele Sørens klumme på Computerworld Danmark her👇 https://lnkd.in/dmtezGbj

🔗 GlobalConnect featured in The Guardian! Sea cables in the Baltic Sea have become a hot topic—even beyond the Baltic region. This has led to GlobalConnect being featured in The Guardian, in an article exploring the critical role of digital infrastructure and the challenges of safeguarding undersea cables in the area. GlobalConnect’s Pär Jansson, Patrik Gylesjö and Daniel Aldstam shared insights on strategies such as “security through obscurity” and the importance of redundancy through additional cables to protect vital connections, ensuring that 50% of the Nordics' data capacity continues to flow securely. 📰 Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/d6qgrhnT Proud to be part of this important conversation on the resilience of Europe’s digital backbone!   #DigitalInfrastructure #Cybersecurity #GlobalConnect 

Future-proofing Northern Europe: GlobalConnect's important milestones in 2024 🚀 This year, we have connected thousands of new households to our network, enabling our modern way of living. Our network now reaches more than 800.000 households. We have expanded our network and security services to support more than 30.000 businesses on their growth journeys. We have completed the largest digital infrastructure in the region in the last decade, Project Aurora, a super fiber cable capable of transporting all data in the Nordics. Finally, we have continued our commitment to invest and expand our digital infrastructure, to offer a resilient, redundant, state-of-the-art fiber network. Our extensive network has grown with an astonishing 12% (+27.000 km) during the year, and now amounts to 243.000 kilometers of fiber. 

Vi vet at hackere allerede samler inn sensitive data som de senere kan dekryptere ved hjelp av kvanteteknologi når den blir tilgjengelig for dem. Derfor handler det om å ligge ett skritt foran trusselen. Hver enkelt organisasjon bør starte forberedelsene med en risikovurdering hvor man identifiserer sine sensitive data. Norge er ikke klar for kvantespranget, mener vår CEO Martin Lippert og utdyper det i sin kronikk i Dagens Næringsliv. https://lnkd.in/dNa32aRj

As AI demand grows, so does the need for a robust infrastructure   The potential of AI is immense, but unlocking it requires responsible implementation and a strong digital foundation. High-capacity fiber networks are essential to handle the surge in data consumption driven by AI adoption.   As a provider of the digital infrastructure that enables companies to implement AI, GlobalConnect is featured in a recent AI whitepaper from Denmark’s leading tech association, DI - Digital. The whitepaper crafts a shared roadmap for responsible use of AI assistants in the public and private sectors.   Our contribution highlights a B2B use case that shows how AI can drive innovation responsibly. By leveraging AI-driven campaigns and integrating AI assistants, our team has transformed lead generation, achieving greater efficiency and precision.   This case, alongside the many inspiring examples in the whitepaper, demonstrates the significant benefits of AI assistants—not just in streamlining tasks but in reshaping workflows altogether in a responsible way.   Please find the whitepaper in the comments, and let’s keep the conversation on responsible AI innovation going.

Från koaxialnät till framtidssäker fiber – Åre Sadelns samfällighet väljer GlobalConnect!🚀 GlobalConnect är stolta över att vara en del av Åre Sadelns samfällighetsförenings resa från ett förlegat koaxialnät till ett snabbt och framtidssäkert fibernät. Till samfällighetens drygt 840 hushåll kommer vi att leverera en robust och pålitlig lösning som möter både dagens och framtidens digitala behov. Göran Ekman, styrelseledamot i samfälligheten: "I dagens samhälle är internet A och O. Speciellt för de som jobbar hemifrån eller streamar mycket TV – då är det viktigt att allt fungerar sömlöst. Fiber ger oss en lösning som är snabb, stabil och betydligt enklare att underhålla." Att koppla upp en samfällighet av denna storlek är en komplex uppgift som kräver både samarbete och expertis från flera viktiga bidragsgivare. Synergierna mellan ansvarig säljare Lars Sundström, kommunansvarig i Åre Jens Rask, byggledare Andrea Rahm & Annette Johnsson samt leveranskoordinator Malin Östlund har varit avgörande för att ro detta projekt i land. Tillsammans säkerställer de att Globalconnect kan leverera ett fibernät i världsklass! 👉 Läs mer om projektet här: https://lnkd.in/dmB8MFQ5
