This thesis addresses the gap in literature and research surrounding the historical context of database security in Sweden. Through extensive research and in-depth interviews with Swedish cybersecurity experts, it highlights the underrepresented “story” of database security and emphasizes the need for a more holistic approach to this highly specialized field. Key findings indicate that the economic and social costs of security breaches are escalating, which intensifies the necessity for security solutions. The industry’s trend towards specialization underscores the need for “generalized specialists” who can provide a broad perspective.

The thesis ultimately argues that a broader perspective is required to better equip society in preempting future cybercrimes. Despite significant advancements in the field, the study identifies a need for historical context and a more integrated approach to database security in Sweden. (Less)
