A wide variety of perspectives to digital resilience

“Building a digital resilience (i.e., capabilities to design, deploy and use information systems (IS) to adjust to changes caused by external shocks) may prepare individuals, organizations and other institutions for future disruptions caused by global crises.”, Kohn (2023)

Digiturva 2026 aims to provide a comprehensive combination of different perspectives on emerging threats in the field of information security and solutions that promote the digital resilience of individuals, businesses, and society. Particular areas of interest include the use of strategic intelligence in building situational awareness, utilization of new technologies such as satellite imaging and artificial intelligence methods and the challenges associated with them, improving the sustainability of software development processes, strengthening societal resilience by improving individual-level information security awareness, and implementing appropriate information security solutions in the implementation and operation of systems critical to society.

Utilizing new technologies in building a strategic situational picture

When building resilience, it is important that organizations have access to up-to-date and accurate information on relevant factors to their operating environment. The importance of strategic intelligence in building situational awareness cannot be overlooked. Recently the opportunities offered by new technologies, such as satellite imaging, have also taken the front stage in an entirely new way, as the new technical solutions enable non-governmental actors to utilize such information sources in their strategic and tactical intelligence gathering.

The benefits and challenges of using AI

With the ever-increasing use of artificial intelligence in various systems and services, there exists a risk that new and convenient AI solutions will be adopted for reasons of convenience, presumed efficiency, or perceived trendiness without taking into account the potential cybersecurity risks associated with them. However, all parties implementing and using AI solutions should be aware of the risks inherent in the use of data-driven algorithms.

Maintaining and developing information security awareness and societal resilience

In the past, we had the ability to distinguish between fact and fiction. In the age of artificial intelligence this has become increasingly difficult. Especially since attackers have learned to use artificial intelligence to improve their own attack methods. Is there anything we can do about this? Could the solution lie in ownership, or could it be taught to us from a young age? There is much to be done, and the game is by no means lost yet.
