About Arx Insight

Cyber risk can no longer be understood in isolation from geopolitics, technological dependency, and regulatory pressure.

That requires a different kind of advisory relationship – one that interprets rather than reports, and translates structural risk into the language of governance for boards and executive teams.

Arx Insight occupies the space between traditional cybersecurity consulting and strategic geopolitical analysis – a position few others hold.

Decide with clarity
Defend with discipline
Govern with intent

About me

My name is Jens Christian Høy Monrad. I have spent over two decades at the forefront of global threat intelligence – most recently as Director and Head of Mandiant Intelligence EMEA at Google Cloud, and in senior roles at FireEye and Cisco before that.

In those roles, I analysed and briefed governments, intelligence services, defence organisations, and some of the world's largest companies on the global threat landscape.

I contributed to Mandiant's global M-Trends reports and Google Cloud's Cybersecurity Forecasts, as well as a range of international intelligence publications and reports throughout my career.

In 2025, I founded Arx Insight as an independent, vendor-neutral advisory firm. Independence is not a minor detail – it is the condition that makes this kind of analysis possible. I do not sell products. I sell analytical clarity.
