Hyker Security AB appoints new CEO

Hyker Security welcomes Mats Karlsson as the new CEO of the company. Mats brings extensive experience in building companies within telecom, information security, and secure cloud storage, which will be a strong contribution to Hyker’s ambition to grow in secure digital information management. Hyker currently offers unique services in Zero-Knowledge Encryption, Zero-Trust Access, and Confidential Processing. Former CEO Ulf Gerold has been instrumental in bringing Hyker to its current position, for which the board and main owners Saab Ventures and Lindeblad Ventures are grateful for. The board and Ulf have agreed that Ulf will step down as CEO as of February 7th, 2024, and Mats Karlsson will take over from the same date. Ulf will remain with the company and continue to work on business development.

“We live in a world that makes it increasingly difficult for companies and organizations to manage, protect, and secure critical information,” says Mats Karlsson, the new CEO of Hyker Security AB. “I am convinced that Hyker, with its services and deep expertise in secure digital information management, will play a crucial role for many companies, businesses, and service providers in protecting critical information. I look forward to starting to work with the team,” concludes Mats Karlsson.

“I and the Board want to thank Ulf for the work he has done for Hyker during his time as CEO,” says Jonas Lundeberg, Chairman of the Board of Hyker Security AB. “Now we look forward to the next phase in Hyker’s growth journey with the knowledge and expertise that Mats brings from his previous experiences in secure information management and substantial experience in running and developing SAAS companies.”
