Björn’s biggest achievements

  1. Björn is proud of every company he has developed security for and provided management support. It's important to create long-term sustainable solutions where security becomes a natural part of the daily running of the company.
  2. He's helped many businesses, both in the private and public sectors, to design and implement security measures, with the goal that customers are ultimately able to manage on their own.
  3. Over the years, he's taken part in many courses and programmes of education. He's also an active lecturer at seminars and events. Sharing his knowledge and experience, and in that way helping others to develop within cyber security, is what Björn is really passionate about.

Björn’s beliefs

  1. We learn from mistakes and incidents. If an incident occurs, step one is to deal with it, and then learn why it happened, so that measures can be taken to minimise the risk of the same thing happening again.
  2. It's never too late to take action to reduce the risk and effect of cyber attacks.
  3. Security is a team sport - everyone in an organisation has a role to play, as do all organisations in a country.

About Björn

Björn is a real star in the field of cyber security. He has worked worldwide with the largest companies and is highly sought after. As all services are being moved online, the risk of intrusion and extortion (so-called ‘ransomware attacks’) is increasing. It’s a challenging area that Björn spends much of his professional time on. He’s passionate about creating solutions to protect everyone, regardless of the size of their business. For him, everyone’s cyber security is equally important.

What drives him is helping companies and organisations get their security measures in place. He’s quick to see the needs of the organisation, what is business-critical information and what routines are missing. One issue in many companies is that employees don’t undergo training in cyber security. They’re often unaware of the risks of, for example, clicking on unfamiliar links.

The biggest challenge, however, is that IT security has not been enough of a management issue. Today, this issue is frequently more business-critical than many others. For IT departments it’s not a new problem, but they often need strategic support in order to keep up with rapid development.

Björn has been involved throughout the development of IT. He started 37 years ago in the banking and finance world, when we didn’t have the internet and didn’t know what a firewall was. He has held all the different positions in IT, everything from support to CEO, and he has come face-to-face with Russian criminal organisations.

He has stopped attacks, worked on training programmes and among other things, handled the security for a mobile operator in Japan with 28 million users. At present, he’s working on a concept that offers cyber security as a service to all companies, including smaller businesses and one-person firms. His motto is that ‘everyone should be able to afford good cyber security’. He runs the company 2bSec.

One of Björn’s strengths is his ability to simplify and illuminate important aspects without making concepts unnecessarily complicated. He knows that the IT world uses a language that can sometimes cause stress and create uncertainty. He’s confident in his extensive technical knowledge, has worked strategically in most industries and knows what is important. He takes away the drama and simplifies things, but is clear about what’s required. In a meeting with him, you can talk strategy, raise challenges and quickly get really reliable advice.

In his personal life, he’s football mad. He’s been a football coach in the junior Allsvenskan (the Swedish professional league), trained as a coach for the Swedish Football Association and enjoys an active life.
