When war came close : Annual Report – IT Incident Reporting 2022

The past year has been transformative. Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine led to a change of course in Swedish security policy. The current world situation is serious and MSB sees shortcomings in Sweden’s systematic information and cyber security work. Consequently, the work on our cyber security is more important now than ever before. In 2022, Europe experienced its first full-scale hybrid war.

This report presents what the cyber war in Ukraine has looked like, and how development in Sweden has progressed. Overall, it reinforces old insights, but also gives us new lessons learned.
