from What’s New in New Defence? · host Digital Defence Ecosystem Finland; Valtteri Vuorisalo

In the second episode of What’s New in New Defence, we explore how cyber defence and emerging technologies are reshaping Europe’s security environment. Dr Catharina Candolin, Board Member of SSH Communications Security, explains how cyber has become a fully recognised domain of warfare – one that requires an integrated posture, clear leadership and stronger cooperation across governments, industry and allied partners. Mikael Westerlund, Chief Business Officer at Agate Sensors, introduces breakthrough advances in software-defined hyperspectral sensing and shows how next-generation on-chip capabilities can transform situational awareness, counter-drone protection and the broader defence technology landscape. Together, the discussion highlights Europe’s need to accelerate technological sovereignty, invest in deep-tech capability and remove barriers that slow innovation. The episode offers a timely perspective on how Finnish expertise contributes to more resilient, adaptive and future-ready defence solutions across Europe.

Cyber has become a fully recognised domain of warfare. This episode explores how Europe strengthens its cyber defence, integrates disruptive technologies and builds technological sovereignty. With insights from Dr Catharina Candolin and Agate Sensors’ Mikael Westerlund, we examine the innovations shaping tomorrow’s security landscape.
