Christoffer Wesén – new Head of Security Operations at Iver
23 May 2023 / Press Release
Iver has reinforced its ICS Division’s leadership capabilities with the recruitment of Christoffer Wesén to the role of Head of Security Operations. Christoffer will be responsible for Iver’s ongoing development of SOC services and client service provision. Christoffer has in-depth experience of senior positions in IT security, having most recently been responsible for building up the SOC service at Avanza Bank.
Iver’s “Information and Cyber Security” Division (also known as ICS), is experiencing strong growth. The Division enjoys a unique market position with an offering based on infrastructure as code, providing services that meet the market’s most ambitious requirements for information and cyber security. The Division is currently responsible for the majority of society-critical systems in hybrid environments with private and public infrastructure, and large-scale container, PKI, and SOC services.
“In Christoffer, we’ve found the perfect leader to develop our SOC and our offering, and I’d like to issue a very warm welcome from Iver to him. Christoffer is an experienced and very popular leader with extensive experience of senior positions in IT security, and he also has experience of the consultancy side of things, where he’s worked with numerous Nordic organisations’ IT security operations. With Christoffer onboard, we’ll be able to develop both our offering and our interactions with clients,” says Stefan Lager, ICS Divisional Director at Iver.
“Being part of Iver and having the opportunity to be involved in developing Security Operations and SOC feels really great – and a real challenge. We already have very talented teams in place – teams who are evolving and growing with the addition of several really incisive new colleagues. IT security is a fast-moving and growing field and we’ll be focusing heavily on upscaling our offering, with our brand new SOC hub in Malmö as a prime example. I’m really looking forward to continuing to build up and develop our Security Operations and SOC,” says Christoffer Wesén, Head of Security Operations in ICS at Iver.
