Due to erupting conflict within the European region, State officials and newspaper outlets have spoken about the ever-decreasing safety of the Swedish nation in several aspects with the digital threat being one of the forthcoming concerns. To be able to act in a proportional manner and safeguard our digitalized society we first need to gauge the digital threat landscape and uncover how much the situation has changed with the coming of this conflict. We created a wide set of questions based on the published works of academia and grey literature that are related to Cybersecurity and the digital threat landscape. We used this information to interview IT personnel that work in cybersecurity to get a perspective on how the situation looks like for the people at the forefront of this propagated threat. The interviews uncovered that the situation had indeed changed and for the worse. A more digitalized society and advancing technology combined with the existence of skillful hackers result in more frequent and sophisticated attacks. The IT personnel tasked with safeguarding their networks are very aware of this and provide some insight on how they perceive the digital threat landscape in this investigation.
