Hiski Ruhanen is Head of Information Security at Smartly.io with 11 years of experience combining hands-on technical security, privacy and GDPR program work with team leadership and risk-driven management. He has led company-wide security objectives, KPIs and budgeting while introducing threat modeling and driving ISO 27001 and GDPR-aligned practices into software development lifecycles. Prior roles at F-Secure ranged from penetration testing to CISO Office leadership, giving him both deep technical chops and practical experience marrying risk management with data protection. Known for resolving issues directly in client-facing interfaces, he focuses on making security an integrated part of business processes rather than an afterthought.
