Time: Wed 2025-11-05 11.45 - Thu 2025-11-06 12.30
Location: Västra Torggatan 31, 652 24 Karlstad
For the second time, Security Divas Sweden will be held on November 5–6 in Karlstad. Inspired by Security Divas Norway, the first conference Security Divas Sweden was held in November 2024 with Compare, Cybercampus and Karlstad University as hosts. The conference welcomed female role models who offered participants important insights on, among other things, information influence, data protection and current perspectives on cybersecurity. Security Divas Sweden aims to be a driving force in creating arenas where female talents in the field are highlighted, offered support and inspired to be part of the future of information security. The ambition is to create an inclusive culture that breaks down barriers and promotes a new generation of women in the tech sector.
On November 5–6 it is time again, and we can promise interesting perspectives from both business, government agencies, public organizations and academia.
Among this year’s speakers are, among others, Johanna Parikka Altenstedt, coordinator for Cybernode at RISE, Hanna Linderstål, CEO of Earhart Business Protection Agency, Karin Ahl, CEO of Netnod, Sara Lidbaum, Business Manager at Netnod, Pernilla Uddh, site manager for Atea in Karlstad, Elin Bertilsson, incoming CEO of the Swedish Local Fibre Alliance, and Elin Spets Ramberg, coordinator and deputy head of the unit for capability development at the Swedish Psychological Defence Agency.
