keynote
Magnus Carling
CISO
Stena AB
I'm a versatile manager with experience in the IT business since 1995. My experience range from network engineering and server management, to IT-management frameworks and information security management. IT and security has been part of my life for a long time and I enjoy the potential IT unlock in both humans as well as enterprises - as long as it is secure.
Most of my spare time I spend with my family and friends. I like to try new recipes, barbecue, explore new and old wines, go snowboarding whenever I can, run and write.
Writing is a big part of my life and I write stories that are everything but ordinary.
