Aapo Cederberg

Aapo Cederberg’s expertise rests on more than 30 years in security and defence roles and on extensive international cooperation. His specialisations include cybersecurity, hybrid influence, strategic leadership, and comprehensive security. Cederberg has worked in Geneva at GCSP as an expert and trainer seconded by Finland, and his writing has been published in several international outlets.

As the head of Cyberwatch Finland, Cederberg focuses on producing a strategic cyber situational picture for Finnish decision-makers. The company uses AI-based information services and deep-web analytics, and it offers training on a continuous-learning model for both companies and public administration. The team Cederberg leads helps organisations build comprehensive cybersecurity strategies and preparedness plans that match today’s threats.

According to Cederberg, cybersecurity has become a critical success factor in both the private and public sectors. The EU’s NIS2 and CER directives underline the accountability of governments and top leadership in ensuring cyber resilience, and his talks give listeners concrete tools and perspectives on that responsibility. His motto — “Intelligent cybersecurity is made of small actions and command of the whole” — captures his approach as a speaker.

Aapo Cederberg has been recognised several times for his work advancing international cybersecurity. Awards include the Global Security Industry Alliance’s golden shield and the Cyber Security Nordic award. He also chairs the World UAV community’s cybersecurity committee and continues to develop global security understanding.
