Lessons Learned from Axis Cyberattack

On the night of Saturday, 19th of February 2021, Axis was the subject of a cyber-attack  targeting its internal systems. Dan Lundström and his colleagues faced a critical decision, safeguarding sensitive data at the expense of Internet-facing services. This keynote explores the pivotal moments of the attack, from the swift disconnection of services to the subsequent forensic analysis and restoration efforts.

This incident serves as a sobering reminder of the evolving cyber threat landscape and the imperative for robust defenses in ensuring business continuity. Axis underscores the importance of continually reassessing the delicate balance between operational efficiency and security in today's digital age.

Learn how Axis responded to the crisis by redesigning access methods to minimize human error and fortifying technical security measures to mitigate future risks. While these enhancements may introduce minor disruptions to workflows, they herald a new era of heightened security resilience. Join us as we delve into the lessons learned and strategies employed in fortifying cyber defenses for a more secure tomorrow.

Cyber attacks were expected to have cost the world 8 trillion USD in 2023, with that number expected to rise to 9.5 trillion in 2024 and 10.5 trillion in 2025.

There are 1.7 million ransomware attacks every day, which means there are 19 ransomware attacks occurring every second.

Malware is the most common type of cyberattack, mostly because this term encompasses many subsets such as ransomware, trojans, viruses and any other type of malware attack that leverages software in a malicious way.
