Session

Cyberwar between Russia and Finnish Companies

I’m one of the Finnish cybersecurity specialists that took part in destroying company IT-systems when companies needed to flee Russia. Finland has more border with Russia than the rest of the EU combined. When Russia declared that they can nationalize company assets when the companies leave Russia, we had 72 hours to destroy the company IT-systems, using deadman’s switches as Russia threatened to cut Internet connections to the country. This is hopefully my only war story that I ever have to tell my kids, and I would like to share it with the world. People are talking about expensive machinery left in Russia but not the systems that control them and store all sorts intellectual property. On this session you will learn about an IT-pioneers job in making directories unreadable and doing, normally 18 month long, Domain Splits in 72 hours.
