ISACA Dagen 2026

ISACA Sweden Chapter is pleased to announce that ISACA Dagen 2026 will take place on 16 November 2026.

As in previous years, ISACA Dagen will bring together professionals and leaders from across cybersecurity, information security, governance, risk, audit, privacy, resilience, compliance and digital trust for a full day of insights, discussion, practical experience and networking.

This year's programme is now taking shape, and over this week and next week we will begin revealing the speakers and sessions that will make up ISACA Dagen 2026.

Rather than publishing everything at once, we will introduce our speakers one by one, together with more information about their background and the topics they will bring to the stage. The complete programme and agenda will be published as these announcements are released.

Topics will span the ISACA domains and some of the most important challenges currently facing our profession, including security, governance, risk management, audit and assurance, privacy, resilience, regulation, AI governance, emerging technology and digital trust.

ISACA Dagen is also an opportunity to meet colleagues from across the community and exchange experiences with security professionals, auditors, risk and compliance specialists, technology leaders, consultants, students and other professionals working within the ISACA domains.

Preliminary Agenda

Please note that the programme and exact session times are preliminary and may be adjusted.

Additional speakers and session titles will be announced continuously as we approach the event.

Your Moderator for the Day

We are delighted to once again welcome John Wallhoff as moderator and host of ISACA Dagen.

John is an experienced board advisor and cybersecurity professional with a long background in IT governance, audit and information security. A former President of ISACA Sweden and a seasoned CISA and CISM, John combines strategic boardroom insight with extensive operational experience.

John has become a familiar face at our conferences over the past few years, skilfully connecting the themes of the day, challenging speakers and perspectives, engaging the audience and making sure that discussions continue beyond the individual presentations.

We are very happy to have him back to guide us through ISACA Dagen 2026.

Speaker Bio and Session Details

Bjørn R. Watne

Chief Information Security Officer, INTERPOL

Succeeding with Security at Scale

Lessons learned from a career across borders and communities

“If you want to go far, go together.”

Cybersecurity does not stop at organizational or national borders. Neither can effective security leadership.

Drawing on 25 years of experience across Europe and Asia, Bjørn R. Watne will share lessons from a career spanning critical infrastructure, telecommunications, financial services and international law enforcement.

As Global CISO at INTERPOL, Bjørn leads the organization’s cybersecurity vision and defensive posture in an increasingly complex and borderless threat landscape. He previously served as SVP and Chief Security Officer at Telenor Group and Group CISO at Storebrand/SPP.

His session brings together three perspectives:

• A cybersecurity practitioner working across countries and industries
• An ISACA leader building professional communities and networks
• An international organization addressing transnational security challenges

The central message is simple: security at scale requires collaboration, shared purpose and the ability to turn professional communities into practical resilience.

Bjørn is a long-standing member of the ISACA community and served as President of the ISACA Norway Chapter for more than a decade. He holds an Executive MBA from ESCP Business School and certifications including CISA, CISM, CRISC, CGEIT, CDPSE and CISSP-ISSMP.
