IDC Security Summit - Sweden

Thanks for joining us at the 2025 IDC Security Summit in Sweden

Stockholm set the stage for an energising day with industry leaders, cybersecurity specialists, and innovators exploring the latest trends, challenges, and real-world solutions in information security. With a sharp focus on emerging technologies and proven best practices, the summit armed security teams with the insight and strategies to stay ahead in a rapidly shifting threat landscape.

We loved meeting so many of you—at our booth and throughout the event. Thank you for the conversations, idea-sharing, and opportunities to explore how Rocket Software can help you move faster with confidence.

We hope our session, “Mainframe under Fire: 10 Hacks You Didn’t See Coming,” led by a Rocket Software expert, delivered practical value and fresh perspective.
 

Three key takeaways from the summit

  1. The threat landscape continues to evolve rapidly driven in part by complex geo-politics as well as technology developments with adversaries taking advantage of AI to boost their cyber attack efforts. This has resulted in a focus on resilience in Critical National Infrastructure, and justifies requirements set out in cyber regulations.

     

  2. Proactive security is essential for protecting the latest developments in the AI era, namely Agentic AI. Security practitioners may seek AI solutions that really move the needle to augment security and improve management of cyber risk for compliancy.

     

  3. NIS2 and DORA remain top of mind for CISOs and the Executive Board, since leadership accountability is built into the regulations. IDC research shows that CEOs are focused on investing in technology to strengthen GRC, and for driving up cyber resilience in line with regulations. However, European regulations are likely to evolve to meet the new requirements of AI and Post Quantum-readiness.

 

At Rocket Software, we help organisations elevate what they already have. We’re proud to partner with today’s IT leaders to build secure, modern, future-ready enterprises.
