Lessons learned from a real incident: Nordic Choice Hotels
What can we learn from the Nordic Choice Hotels supply chain attack of December 2021, and how it was handled?
For this episode, we’re happy to welcome Kari Anna Fiskvik, Vice President Technology at Nordic Choice Hotels, that will share some of her lessons learned from being at the centre of attention as Nordic Choice had to shut their systems down at one of their most busy times of the year.
Kari Anna has 20 years of experience with Tech, Digital Transformation, and Business Process and Strategy, and has been named one of the Top 50 Women in Tech 2022 in Norway. She shares with us how Nordic Choice reacted to the attack, what they were able to see of the threat actor from their side of things, and their considerations around balancing security and being service-minded and a customer-friendly organisation.
Robby and Kari Anne also talk about the importance of a security partner, and communicating cybersecurity in a language that people understand.

Threat Intelligence-Based Ethical Red-teaming
In most organisations, there’s more to security than preventive measures. This means that testing your capabilities within detection, investigation and containment can be just as relevant as looking at preventive capabilities. One way of doing so, is by following the Threat Intelligence Based Ethical Red-teaming (TIBER) framework, and simulating a real adversary and how you organisation would do against such a threat.
To explain how a TIBER test is performed and it’s most common use-cases, Robby is joined by Stan Hegt, Etical hacker, Red teamer and Co-founder of the Dutch security company Outflank. Stan also shares his observations of the evolution of red teaming, the main differences between pentesting and red teaming, and what challenges they often meet when preforming these tests.
