"We often talk about the most spectacularthreats—zero-days, advanced attacks, and the stuff that grabs the headlines.But when attackers look at an organization in practice, they usually startsomewhere else. They look for what is already exposed. We will examine howDenmark appears when seen through the eyes of a hacker."

In this session, I use a cyber insurance tool as aframework to demonstrate what attackers typically see when scanning foropportunities across critical sectors. We will walk through realistic attackpaths, from the initial foothold to potential impact, and focus on why it isoften the 'small and boring' vulnerabilities that lead to major consequences.The goal is not to scare anyone, but to clarify which actions provide thegreatest risk reduction first. Often, it is more about patching, access management,and basic hygiene than defending against the most advanced tools in the box.
