"What you don't know will hurt you."

Ransomware isn’t just evolving—it’s industrializing. In this hard-hitting keynote, Sami Laiho delivers a frontline report on the state of ransomware in 2025/2026: the tactics, the targets, and the terrifying speed at which attacks are now executed. Drawing on real-world incidents, global trends, and his firsthand experience helping organizations recover (or fail to), Sami exposes the weak points attackers exploit and the critical missteps defenders still make. He’ll also reveal what’s actually working to stop breaches—and what’s just security theater. He will also dive into the current threat atmosphere when it comes weaponized AI.

Whether you’re in IT, security, or leadership, this keynote will change the way you think about cybersecurity readiness. It’s time to stop playing defense and start building resilience.

Expect straight talk, uncomfortable truths, and the clarity you need for the year ahead.
