Information Influencing and Cognitive Security – It’s About You
Samuli Könönen is an information security specialist at the Finnish National Cyber Security Centre, where he works at the frontlines of national security. He advises decision makers, organisations, and the public on navigating the modern threat landscape.
Samuli has studied leadership and strategy at the National Defence University and cyber security technologies at the University of Turku.
