Danish municipalities have become a front line. Running critical welfare services and holding vast amounts of citizen data, they are attractive targets for cyber criminals. In this episode of Risiko Radio, Jan Kaastrup, Chief Cybersecurity Advisor at CSIS Security Group, joins as guest host alongside Michael Sjøberg, Founder and Chief Hostage Negotiator at Delta Crisis Management, to talk to Henrik Brix about the reality behind cyber security in Danish local government.
The discussion focuses on should happen in the first hours if a municipality is hit by ransomware and the essential role senior leaders play when a cyber crisis reaches a public organisation — highlighting decisions that must be addressed before any incident occurs and cannot be delegated to IT.

Kaare Christensen, Head of IT and Digitalization at Norddjurs Municipality, explains how partnering with CSIS for 24/7 SOC (Security Operations Centre) monitoring has helped the municipality protect sensitive citizen data, react quickly to potential threats, and give operations staff the confidence to “sleep peacefully at night.”
