Webinar on Secure File Transfers in the AI Era
As organisations increasingly rely on AI and data-driven systems, the way data is moved between people, systems and partners has become a critical part of cybersecurity. File transfer is no longer a background IT function—it is part of the core infrastructure that enables modern business, research and innovation.
On 10 February 2026, a webinar hosted in Stockholm brings together perspectives from industry and academia to explore how secure, resilient file transfer fits into today’s AI-driven landscape.
Why file transfer matters more than ever
In the AI era, organisations often describe data as their most valuable asset. They continuously generate, analyse, and share large volumes of data to train models, support decision-making, and enable collaboration across organisational boundaries. This makes data movement an increasingly attractive target for cyberattacks.
Traditional tools such as email, FTP and basic VPN solutions were not designed for today’s scale or threat landscape. They often struggle with:
- Large file sizes and high transfer speeds
- End-to-end encryption and compliance requirements
- Visibility and control over how data moves
As a result, they can introduce both security risks and operational bottlenecks.
A closer look at modern threats and solutions
In this session, experts from IBM&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/span></span> and ss=”hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline”>KTH Royal Institute of Technology explain how modern cyberattacks target file transfers and show how organisations can strengthen this often-overlooked layer of their security posture.
Topics include:
How modern cyberattacks target file transfers.How to eliminate slow and risky workflows.Best practices for secure data movement in large organisations.How enterprise teams use advanced transfer technology to stay protected.
Speakers and perspectives
The webinar features Márk Illés-Tóth, Senior Product Manager at IBM, where he leads product management for IBM Aspera. His work centres on enabling fast, reliable and secure movement of very large datasets for global enterprises. He is joined by Emre Süren, who manages the Royal Hacking Lab at Cybercampus Sweden. His research spans large language models for security, IoT vulnerabilities and cyber threat intelligence, and he teaches digital forensics at KTH. Together, they offer complementary views from applied enterprise technology and cutting-edge security research.
