Årets tema i Musikhjälpen, Alla barns rätt till utbildning, ligger oss varmt om hjärtat.
Ett fritt och robust internet är en förutsättning för att barn ska kunna lära, utforska och bygga sin framtid – därför bidrar vi med en egen insamling och två unika auktioner till förmån för Musikhjälpen.

When 26-year-old Tor Arvill started his part-time job at Netnod in 2023, he was still balancing Master’s lectures and labs at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH). Today, just two years later, he’s a full-time Security Analyst — and a great example of how curiosity, initiative, and a bit of serendipity can open unexpected doors.

Following his induction into the Internet Hall of Fame, we sat down with Patrik Fältström, Head of Security at Netnod, to discuss his work over the years, the challenges of interoperability, and how cybersecurity is always a group effort.

At Almedalsveckan 2025, Netnod was on-site and heavily involved in the week’s discussions–from panels and presentations to roundtables and table top exercises. Much of the week focused on cyber threats, robustness, and preparation for an uncertain future. The question here, which Netnod focuses on in all our cybersecurity work, is: how do we move from talk to action?

Jörg Urban and Frederic Silva, Oscilloquartz, discussed GNSS dependence and protective measures at the Netnod Meeting 2025. The talk covered how it is possible to build redundant synchronisation networks for data centres by using terrestrial alternatives.

Good intentions don’t always result in good outcomes. This is especially the case with recent suggestions regarding end-to-end-encryption adaptability requirements for number independent communication services; not only is security an issue, the suggestions themselves go against the design of the Internet, as well as digitization itself.

Aleksi Suhonen, TREX Regional Exchanges, discussed the topic of IPv6-only IXPs at the Netnod Meeting 2025. His presentation covered how IPv6-only IXPs are now technically feasible without compromising their ability to carry IPv4 traffic and the practical challenges like interoperability, tooling gaps, and BGP quirks.

Lasse Jarlskov, Peering Manager at Telia, discussed BGP-hijacks and security at the Netnod Meeting 2025. The presentation summarised a BGP hijack attempt and how Autonomous System Provider Authorization (ASPA) can help fight BGP attacks in the long-term.

Geoff Bennett, Director Solutions and Technology, Nokia, discussed high level perspectives on Artificial Intelligence at the Netnod Meeting in March 2025. He covered the use and effects of AI including the huge amounts of energy necessary to run AI data centres.
