Finland’s computer and network security sector sits at the junction of product innovation, managed services, and national resilience. The leaders here don’t just “run security”—they shape security outcomes for customers, build repeatable delivery models, and translate fast-moving threat realities into governance, engineering practices, and commercial value.
Below are the CISOs and cybersecurity leaders who stand out for combining technical depth with real operational and business impact in Finland’s security services and security product ecosystem.
Meri Löfman — Chief Information Security Officer, Brighthouse Intelligence Oy
Meri Löfman has built a career that blends long-horizon engineering leadership with hands-on security solution delivery. As Chief Information Security Officer at Brighthouse Intelligence Oy since December 2015, she brings a strong product-and-platform mindset shaped by senior roles at both Microsoft and Nokia. Across Nokia, she progressed from software engineering into senior management of security solutions, and later carried that security solutions leadership into Microsoft. Alongside her CISO role, she is also a co-founder and Chairman of the Board at Gavon Oy—signaling a leader comfortable in both technical execution and governance. The throughline is consistency: building security capabilities that can scale, ship, and support real-world customer outcomes.
Teemu Alapirtti — Chief Information Security Officer, Cyberday
Teemu Alapirtti represents a modern “security meets product” leadership profile—rooted in frameworks, enablement, and repeatable compliance outcomes. As Chief Information Security Officer at Cyberday since October 2025, he builds on earlier work as Cyber Security Development Manager and Customer Compliance Manager, where responsibilities included cybersecurity framework analysis and implementation, internal auditing, threat intelligence, malware protection, product development, training, and technical support. This combination suggests a leader focused on operationalizing standards (such as ISO 27001 and NIS2) into practical, customer-facing delivery—turning security requirements into clear, scalable workflows.
Christine Bejerasco — Chief Information Security Officer, WithSecure
Christine Bejerasco’s profile stands out for blending executive governance with deep security engineering roots. She operates across CISO and CTO-style responsibilities—linking secure-by-design product strategy to measurable enterprise security outcomes. Her work highlights governance across cyber, physical, and AI security; the use of metrics and structured reporting to improve board confidence; and operationalizing secure-by-design across software, infrastructure, and AI. She also emphasizes leadership systems: building teams, modernizing R&D and engineering operating models, and developing leaders—important in a security product company where both culture and technical rigor directly shape customer trust.
Tuomas Lindevall — Chief Information Security Officer, 2NS – Second Nature Security Oy
Tuomas Lindevall brings a delivery-oriented security leadership path that combines consulting execution with program coordination. As CISO at 2NS – Second Nature Security Oy since September 2025, he pairs that leadership role with ongoing work as an Information Security Consultant. His earlier roles include project management and coordination, and experience as a System Analyst at HCL Technologies. In a security services firm, this mix typically signals a leader who understands how security work is actually delivered—how projects move, how controls get implemented, and how to convert requirements into outcomes across real customer environments.
Pauli Haikonen — Chief Information Security Officer, SSH Communications Security
Pauli Haikonen represents a practical, operations-first CISO profile grounded in “keep the company running securely” realities. As IT Manager at SSH Communications Security since 2018, he leads the corporate IT function and runs the organization’s ISMS, which he notes was certified to ISO 27001:2022. His background spans broad corporate IT responsibilities (devices, servers, networks, business applications) and leadership in highly business-critical environments, including earlier roles at Nordea in the Cards domain. He also brings long-running cloud experience (AWS since 2009) and hands-on architecture work (including serverless components). This combination—governance plus deep operational familiarity—fits a security company where internal security posture is part of the brand promise.
Ben Ottoman — Chief Information Security Officer, Cyber Security Finland
Ben Ottoman’s profile is strongly anchored in governance, frameworks, and executive communication—paired with heavyweight auditing and risk credentials. He highlights experience implementing ISO 27001, NIST, and CIS controls programs; aligning cybersecurity with business strategy, laws, and regulations; and building policy and standards across varied technical environments. His credential set (including CRISC, CISM, CISA, ISO 27001 Lead Auditor, plus Azure and AWS security certifications) points to a CISO who can operate fluently across audit, risk, architecture, cloud security, and stakeholder alignment. He also emphasizes the ability to translate technical risk into business language—often the differentiator for security leaders operating in services environments.
Security Leadership Where Delivery and Trust Are the Product
In Finland’s computer and network security industry, credibility is built twice: first inside the organization (how securely you operate), and then in customer outcomes (how repeatably you deliver). The leaders above stand out because they can connect governance to execution—turning standards into operating systems, building teams that scale, and making security measurable, sellable, and resilient in practice.
