Pernilla Rönn appointed Head of Cybersecurity – to strengthen HiQ's cybersecurity offering
HiQ, a leading IT and technology consultancy, is strengthening its offering in cybersecurity. To meet the escalating digital threats, and in response to the current skills shortage among Swedish companies and the public sector, HiQ is taking action through its cyber investment. Security expert Pernilla Rönn is onboarded as Head of Cybersecurity to lead the strategic initiative.
HiQ is accelerating its offering and expertise in cybersecurity. Earlier this year, the consulting firm onboarded network and infrastructure consultants through the IT company Consign and acquired nearly a hundred tech consultants specializing in the public sector from the Finnish company Ambientia, including expertise in cybersecurity.
To lead and drive HiQ's cybersecurity initiative forward, Pernilla Rönn has now been appointed as Head of Cybersecurity, based in and responsible for HiQ's cybersecurity team in Stockholm, while also leading the work nationwide alongside colleagues in other regions. Pernilla Rönn has held numerous leadership positions within the security industry for over two decades and plays a pivotal role in HiQ's security offerings.
"At HiQ, there's a strong drive ingrained in our DNA to be at the forefront of digital solutions and technology. Our expertise in cybersecurity is no exception. With Pernilla in control and our collective knowledge in technology and cybersecurity, we can meet and hopefully even exceed customer expectations in this critical area," says Samuel Skott, CEO of HiQ.
HiQ has extensive experience in handling complex technical challenges and has significant security expertise across the spectrum, from organizational regulatory compliance to technical product security and infrastructure management.
"Our ambition is to be a leading and proactive partner in cybersecurity. The future requires businesses to have a dynamic and comprehensive strategy for their cybersecurity efforts. I am impressed by the strong expertise in our team and the integrated competence HiQ has in technology and security, and I look forward to contributing to HiQ's position as a pioneer in this incredibly important area. My focus is to continuously improve and develop our cybersecurity offering and build the team to support even more private businesses and public entities on their security journeys," says Pernilla Rönn, the new Head of Cybersecurity at HiQ.
