With a population of just 5 million Finland has always punched above its weight, and whilst leading tech & cybersecurity firms like Nokia and F-Secure (now WithSecure) often get the publicity - it's just the tip of the iceberg.

Discussing the unique challenges for Telcos in what’s often called the ‘most digitalised country in Europe’ are Teemu Mäkelä - award-winning CISO for Finland’s largest Telco, Elisa - and Kimmo Vesajoki, Chief Commercial Officer for cybersecurity solutions firm Next Generation IT, and former Finland & Balkans sales leader for Trend Micro.
