Navigate uncertainty in business
Uncertainty is an unavoidable element of both life and business. It represents the unknowns we face every day — the unexpected changes in market trends, technological advancements, and shifting geopolitical landscapes that can disrupt even the best-laid plans. In the business world, uncertainty can be both a challenge and an opportunity depending on our ability to adapt, innovate, and thrive in unpredictable environments.
In this Fusion Space newsletter, we dive into uncertainty and its impact on business, leadership and decision-making. We explore how businesses can not only survive but build capabilities to excel in an uncertain world. Read about insights and practical strategies to help you navigate the unpredictable with confidence and agility.

Their slogan Cyber Positivity? speaks about what they are: a company with a collaborative and positive approach to addressing clients’ cyber security needs.
In 2019, seasoned cyber security experts Jani Kallio, Marko Buuri and Tuomo Makkonen, had seen that too often cyber security is an endless story about failures – about viruses, data breaches, ambiguous threats, and of finding someone to blame for mistakes. That year they came together and realized there was a place in the market for a cyber security company with a fresh and constructive viewpoint.?
There’s a long tradition of software security where security testing is conducted only after something has already been engineered. Fraktal's passion lies in helping clients prevent security bugs, rather than just fixing them, by shifting security practices left in the development process.
