Keepit Live – Oslo
On 23 April, Keepit Live Nordic Roadshow comes to Oslo with an intimate executive event featuring Geir Hågen Karlsen, former lieutenant colonel in the Norwegian Armed Forces and a leading expert on security policy and geopolitics, alongside Keepit’s CISO Kim Larsen.
What you will gain from attending
• Strategic insights into how geopolitics is reshaping the cyber threat landscape
• Leadership perspectives on resilience and preparedness in uncertain times
• Practical considerations for protecting critical data and digital infrastructure
• An opportunity to connect with senior peers facing similar security challenges
Drawing on political and military experience, Geir shares insights into how cyber operations and hybrid threats have become core elements of modern conflict — and what civilian organisations can learn from military approaches to preparedness and resilience. He will also explore political risk and the global power dynamics involving the US, China, and Russia and how the increasingly complex relationship between technology, economy, and security is reshaping the risk landscape for organizations.
Together, Geir and Kim connect geopolitical developments with practical implications for cybersecurity, data protection, and compliance, helping leaders better understand their digital risk exposure in an increasingly unstable world.
Keepit Live is not about products. It’s a forum for knowledge sharing and dialogue among executive peers navigating today’s evolving security landscape.The session brings together military, geopolitical, and organizational perspectives on security — translating global uncertainty into concrete considerations for executives, boards, and decision-makers.

Location
THE THIEF, Oslo
A little island, a whole ocean of experiences. With Oslo’s most spectacular location THE THIEF steals its guests away from everyday life.
Tjuvholmen – the city district which was once home to criminals and shady dealings is now a power centre for contemporary art and good city living at the water’s edge.
International-calibre restaurants, cosy eateries and high-quality galleries sit side by side in pedestrianised streets and squares. And the Astrup Fearnley Museum designed by Italian star architect Renzo Piano, is the hotel’s nearest neighbour.
