Keeping essential industries safe and sustainable.
Food Industry
Digitalization boosts efficiency, but production continuity, proprietary recipes, and brand trust are now exposed to severe cyber risk
Water Industry
Protecting safe drinking water requires continuous monitoring. As critical infrastructure, compliance and preventing contamination demand real-time OT visibility
Production Industry
Process automation relies on rugged PLCs that were not designed for modern threats. Cyberattacks targeting these workhorses risk severe downtime and physical harm
Oil and Gas
Stable energy delivery is vital. Despite strong safety traditions, rapid digitalization makes Oil & Gas assets highly attractive targets for production-halting cyberattacks
Maritime
As ships become more connected, reliance on legacy systems creates severe vulnerabilities. Monitoring is vital to protect software-intensive vessels from cyber-attacks
Manufacturing
Modern manufacturing requires massive connectivity for efficiency. This transition to Industry 4.0 opens new entry points for criminals seeking ransom, downtime, and safety risks
Critical Infrastructure
Critical services, from air traffic to power grids, rely on vulnerable OT systems. Abandoning the "air gap" demands continuous monitoring to ensure societal stability
Insights from Norway’s Cybersecurity Experts
Bremanger Breach: Lessons from a Norwegian Dam Hack
Earlier this year, unidentified hackers breached the control system of a Norwegian dam at Risevatnet, in Bremanger. The hackers discovered that the dam had a Human Machine Interface (HMI) exposed on the Internet and was able to gain access by exploiting a weak password.p
Digitalization: Opportunities and New Risks
Digitalization offers enormous opportunities for efficiency, but it also introduces new risks. When OT systems (Operational Technology) are connected to the internet, vulnerability to attacks increases—attacks that threaten not only data, but also lives, health, and critical societal functions.
Stricter Security Requirements for Critical Services from 1 October 2025 under theDigital Security Act
O nFriday, 20 June, the Norwegian government decided in a Council of State meeting that the Digital Security Act will enter into force on 1 October 2025. At the same time, the Digital Security Regulation was adopted, entering into force concurrently with the Act.
Understanding SNOK® — common questions
Operational Technology (OT) security is a specialized field focused on protecting industrial automation and control systems (IACS) from cyber threats. It covers technologies that control critical infrastructure such as power grids, water treatment systems, and production lines inmanufacturing facilities.
We offer the SNOK® platform, a cybersecurity monitoring system designed to detect early signs of intrusions. The solution consists of a unique combination of network sensors (NIDS), endpoint sensors, and PLC sensors, which together provide full visibility into the operational environment.
The risk has increased due to ongoing digitalization and the Industry 4.0 trend, which connects previously isolated production systems with IT networks. Cyberattacks have become a real threat to production continuity, employee safety, and the stability of public services.
IT security focuses primarily on protecting data, while OT security prioritizes the continuity of industrial processes and operational stability. OT systems often rely on legacy devices that do not support traditional security tools such as antivirus software or frequent updates to patch security holes.
