How Does Secure-NOK Help Food Manufacturers Manage Cyber Risk?
Download our white paper “Cybersecurity in the Food Industry” for free and gain practical guidance on how to secure continuity and regulatory compliance in your production environment.
The white paper provides a clear overview of today’s threat landscape, common vulnerabilities in production facilities, and concrete measures organizations can take to achieve an acceptable risk level.
SNOK is a tailored security monitoring solution for OT environments and is particularly well suited for the food industry. Learn how Secure-NOK’s customers use SNOK together with Secure-NOK’s analysis services to gain visibility and control over their production systems.
MandatorySecurity Requirements
Cybersecurity in the food industry is no longer optional—it is a legal obligation. The sector is now recognized as critical infrastructure, meaning that food producers of a certain size and/or societal importance are considered providers of essential services under the EU’s NIS2Directive.
This places significant requirements on how production environments must be protected.
Secure-NOKSecurity Status Assessment
The Security Status Assessment is a low-threshold, thorough, and non-binding evaluation of the cybersecurity posture of your industrial facility. The service includes a 60-day pilot license for our SNOK IDS / Security Monitoring System, with no need to invest in dedicated hardware and offered at a fixed one-time cost.
As part of the assessment, we conduct a comprehensive health check of your OT and IoT environments, including:
- A complete inventory of all digital assets
- Analysis of OT infrastructure and networks, including observed external interfaces and remote access
- Identification of vulnerabilities and improvement areas
The result is a clear, actionable security status report with tailored recommendations to strengthen the security of your facility—giving you a precise understanding of where you stand and what actions should be taken next.

Sterk oppslutning rundt OT-konferansen 2026 – samler ledende fagmiljøer i Stavanger
OT-konferansen 2026 går av stabelen 29. april i Stavanger, og årets utgave peker seg allerede ut med et program som samler noen av de mest sentrale aktørene innen OT-sikkerhet og industriell digitalisering.
Økt behov for kontroll i komplekse automasjonsmiljøer i olje og gass
Digitaliseringen av olje- og gassindustrien har de siste årene gitt betydelige gevinster i form av effektivisering, bedre datagrunnlag og økt fleksibilitet. Samtidig har utviklingen ført til en betydelig økning i kompleksitet – og dermed også i risiko.
Hvordan få kontroll på OT-miljøet i praksis – erfaringer fra IVAR
For IVAR IKS er stabil drift ikke bare et mål – det er en forutsetning for at samfunnet skal fungere. Som leverandør av vann- og avløpstjenester til rundt 360 000 innbyggere på Nord-Jæren, forvalter virksomheten kritisk infrastruktur der konsekvensene av svikt er umiddelbare og omfattende.
Beredskapsåret 2026: Er vann og avløp i norske kommuner godt nok sikret?
Kommunal vannforsyning er blant samfunnsfunksjonene som omfattes av digitalsikkerhetsloven. Loven trådte i kraft 1. oktober 2025 og stiller grunnleggende krav til digital sikkerhet i virksomheter med særlig betydning for samfunnet. Regelverket innebærer også at ansvaret for digital sikkerhet er tydelig plassert hos virksomhetens øverste ledelse.
Stricter Security Requirements for Critical Services from 1 October 2025 under theDigital Security Act

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.
