Cloud Security Expert Marcus Sjöberg on Why Swedish Companies Still Get Hacked in 2025

LINKÖPING, Sweden - June 30, 2025 - PRLog -- Despite increased awareness and investment in digital infrastructure, Swedish companies continue to suffer from data breaches and cloud-based cyber attacks. According to IT consultant Marcus Sjöberg, the problem isn't the cloud, it's how it's being used.

"Cloud is not unsafe. Misconfigurations are," says Marcus Sjöberg, a cybersecurity and cloud infrastructure expert with over a decade of experience, including long-term consulting for aerospace giant Saab.

Sjöberg, who recently published a whitepaper titled "The Three Most Common Cloud Security Gaps in Swedish SMEs and How to Fix Them", outlines a growing concern in how small and mid-sized companies adopt cloud services without the right expertise or safeguards.

"Most breaches I encounter stem from avoidable configuration issues, lack of access controls, and insufficient monitoring," he explains. "These aren't exotic zero-day attacks, they're basic oversights that have serious consequences."

With his background in secure enterprise environments, Marcus is now opening up his consultancy to a broader range of industries, aiming to bring "defense-grade security" to everyday businesses.

The whitepaper is part of his broader mission to democratize cloud security expertise and help businesses scale safely in a rapidly evolving threat landscape.

Marcus is available for speaking engagements, interviews, and advisory projects in Sweden and across Europe.
