What and why?

Cyber attacks are becoming more targeted, more convincing and harder to detect. At the same time, artificial intelligence, global conflicts and new technologies are changing the threat landscape faster than ever before.

Who is attacking universities? What are they after? What do the latest attacks look like? And what can we expect in the coming years?

In this broadcast, one of Denmark’s most renowned cyber security researchers, Jens Myrup Pedersen, provides a topical insight into the digital battlefield in 2026. You’ll gain an understanding of the actors, motives and methods behind today’s cyber attacks, as well as a glimpse into the threats that are already knocking at the door.

At the same time, you’ll receive practical advice on how to protect yourself, your data and your organisation.

It began with a suspicion. Something wasn’t quite right. Shortly afterwards, it became clear that Aalborg University had become victim to a cyberattack.

In the summer of 2020, Aalborg University was hit by an incident that put systems, processes and people under pressure.

In this documentary, five key figures tell the story from the inside. From the first signs that something was wrong, through the uncertainty, the decisions and the intense work involved in managing the situation, right up to the present day, where cyber security has become an integral part of the university’s day-to-day operations.

The Day It All Went Wrong is not just the story of a cyberattack. It is the story of people, collaboration and the lessons learnt when theory suddenly becomes reality.

Join us for the premiere and discover the story behind the incident that made cyber security everyone’s responsibility.
