Sweden — Cyber Threat Profile
Sweden faces persistent Russian hybrid operations, categorically elevated since its NATO accession in March 2024. In January 2024, the Russian-linked Akira ransomware group attacked IT provider Tietoevry, disrupting operations across 120 government agencies and forcing a multi-week recovery. From November 2024, the National Cybersecurity Centre was formally consolidated under the Defence Radio Establishment (FRA), expanding its mandate for private sector coordination and threat analysis. Sweden was the Nordic country most cited in 2024 dark web monitoring, with finance and insurance sectors most targeted.- National CERT/CSIRT: CERT-SE
