Understand exposure before it becomes an incident
Cyber and geopolitics are no longer separate issues. They are fundamentally changing the conditions under which organizations make decisions. I translate the threat landscape and advise boards, executive teams, and CISOs who need to act on their actual risk.
The conditions have changed. Advisory has not.
Most organizations are not short on security information. They have incident reports, threat feeds, compliance status, and technical assessments. What is often missing is a clear interpretation of what that information means for the decisions leadership actually has to make.
An incident is rarely the problem in itself. It is often the visible expression of conditions that have been building for a long time.
Arx Insight works in the space between technical security advisory and strategic geopolitical analysis, where information must be translated before responsible decisions can be made.
About Jens
I have spent more than 20 years working in global threat intelligence, most recently as Head of Mandiant Intelligence EMEA at Google Cloud and previously in senior roles at FireEye and Cisco.
Over the years, I have briefed governments, intelligence services, defense organizations, and global companies on cyber and geopolitical risk, co-authored market-leading security reports, and contributed regularly to Danish and international media coverage, including Financial Times, BBC, CNN, DR, Børsen, and Altinget.
In 2025, I founded Arx Insight as an independent, vendor-neutral advisory company. I do not sell products. I sell analytical clarity.
Advisory, analysis, and briefing
If you are looking for yet another vendor, this is probably not the right place.
I work independently as an advisor and sparring partner where cyber risk, geopolitics, and executive decision-making meet. The task is not to produce more information, but to make clear what the information means and which decisions it should inform.
Typical triggers for a conversation
An independent assessment of risk posture, security investments, or executive reporting.
Preparing the board or executive team ahead of strategic decisions, oversight discussions, or major prioritization.
Rapid clarification when geopolitical, regulatory, or security shifts change the organization’s threat landscape.
Confidential advisory
Discreet sparring and advisory for CISOs and leaders when risk, mandate, and prioritization need to be clarified, and when new signals change the picture leadership is making decisions from.
Structural analysis
Bounded analyses of specific exposures, incidents, or strategic uncertainties, focusing on structural significance, decision framing, and governance implications.
Executive briefing
Briefings for boards, executive teams, and leadership groups that need to understand a changed risk picture without starting in technical detail and without losing the connection to accountability, prioritization, and governance.
Pricing and scope are agreed upon in conversation, because the right answer depends on what you are facing.
The Arx Insight Briefing
Every month, I write a structural analysis of one geopolitical or security issue, not as a list of incidents, but as an assessment of the conditions shaping exposure and the governance conversation that should follow. Written for leaders accountable for cybersecurity. Published in English. One topic per month, read in ten minutes, written to be thought through.
